FIGUREX only made ten of these limited life-sized figures, all of which will be available for purchase at the Plum Live Shop in Akihabara. As one may expect, she’s quite pricey. This figure costs a whopping 1,280,000 JPY ($12,287.00 USD).

The figure is based on Yukari’s Kappōgi (割烹着) or “cooking apron” design. This design is from a project called “Bell Focus” where Yukari waits on customers instead of a human.
About Bell Focus
AHS Co. collaborated with Geonexus to release “BELL FOCUS”, a device/gadget for use in food courts, restaurants, and cafes. The device uses Yuzuki Yukari’s Voiceroid+ software.
Bell Focus is handed to customers so that they can place their order; the food and drinks on the menu are displayed on screen. With the concept of “making the waiting time more fun”, customers can also use the device to listen to a variety of voices by Yukari or listen to her singing while waiting for their orders to arrive.
The device has been used in more than 1,000 outlets across Japan. A list of participating restaurants, cafes, and food courts, including their areas, can be viewed here: http://www.geonexus.co.jp/yukarilist/

At the moment, there is no way to purchase these figures online. However, their size would definitely make international shipping incredibly expensive.
Update
