Until Miku there was no real idea for how to do Vocaloid boxarts. After Miku this slowly became the normal routine to have a cartoon character on the box or something to indicate an avatar. There have been attempts to do that again such as VY1, VY2, Diva, Songman and Zola as well as diversify boxart design such as Mew. The anime character, however, is by far the most popular.

Sweet Ann is technically the first Vocaloid with an avatar, beating Miku by 2 months, though Miku is the first with a biography.
