The inevitable flood of K-ON! figures is picking up momentum, with the latest being this rendition of a guitar wielding Mio Akiyama in a typical moeblob pose.
The figure, a 1/8th scale recreation of the waifu of legend by veteran maker Alter, is set to go on sale in November.

Just show all da fcuking awesome goods people~!
Excellent detail and marvelous handcraft,whoever said this is suck?he should go fuck himself and eat shit
where's my waifu mugi?
I mistakenly read the title as "Mio Akiyama Figure Altar". Then again, maybe soon.
I will wait till a Mio maid figure
already pre-ordered black rock shooter and kudo by alter,yui i'll have to wait a little more D:
Speaking of figures, I'm really not liking the inflation of the prices for figures. I have bought quite a few figures over the years, and around 5 of those are of Alter.
For 1/8 figures, they used to be around the 4500yen range, and then it rose to around 5500yen as standard a few years ago, and now it has hit the 6800yen range as standard. As for the Alter 1/7 Nanoha and Fate (Strikers version) figure, they are 12,800yen each...WTH!? They are PVC figures, not cold-cast figures! As much as I want those two figures, but those prices are just too ridiculous.
In a few years, the 1/8 figures would probably hit the 8000yen mark as standard pricing...while our income would remain the same (and that's assuming we still have a job if the economic depression remains the same, if not worsen).
Rather disappointing form almost all prespectives. One might think, that with the recent boom of K-on record breaking popularity, merchandise cadres would think twice befre they release a low-quality item and settle for nothing more than perfection, though here, that is clearly not the case. Fans may only bare hope in a miracle-record breaking figure, though it remains very unlikely for obvious reasons.
We have yet to observe any official Dakimakura Covers as well, though their popularity ratings are clear to most even now...
i don't know what's so terrible about that plastic figure
Dammit, Alter. Stop making me want things I don't need >.<......Looks prone to warping though....
Whats under the skirt? '-'
Can we take it off?
I don't like it, it's uninspired.
Doh, kinda nice figure!! I just love it!! ^^
I wonder if that figure will have balance issues with the whole figure leaning on one point like that
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
DO FUCK WANT!!! <3 <3 <3
Not bad at all!!
i want to have babies with this figure
Already pre ordered mine. Can't wait for it to come out, and then delivered. Of course, if it ends up like my Haruna figure, where I had pre order it, and it took them about three months after it came out to deliver to me. I'll be freaking pissed.
Will wait for a figma of Mio.
There's Mobip (Figma's copycat?). Google it for a sec.
Already saw the prototype of Yui and Mugi.. Gawd, the anatomy design is almost as equivalent to that Kos-Mos Bandai action figure.. :<
I sadi Figma copycat ^^;; Didn't you notice it??
Her skin color seems weird.
I will get it<3
wrong pantsu won't get it
Guitar? Shirley you must be joking.
All your bass are belong to Mio.
Elizabeth!!!!!!

The puns
they won't stop
HAHAHA I see what you did there.
Just reserved one from Hobby Search. Cant wait.
I haven't watched k on yet. I'm waiting for them to announce a new season first since i heard how unsatisfying the end was.
That might have to wait though. At best, I'm guessing a 2nd season will be released around spring or summer next year.
It wasn't that bad, the ending. It just kinda felt off...
Nah, the ending was extremely good (if you're not expecting Yui to turn into a white giantess and Mio strangling Ritsu). Surely it better than some/most anime that ended with a "Wait whut, that's all?" type of finale.
Yeah, I agree. K-On never gave us the expectation of actually watching a serious anime about a band that is seriously aiming for the Budokan. It's just a lovely slice of life anime with a perfect slice of life ending.
Yeah... slice of life anime where girls have so damn expensive stuff all over their places.
What did people expect, some big robot battle?
Episode 12 was a great ending for this series. The bonus ep 13 was a nice day in the life episode, but it wasn't the ending.
They've pretty much animated all the manga stories in the first 2.5 volumes available, so they'll have to wait a while to get more stuff to work from. So you're in for a long wait for a second season.
Besides KyoAni is hopefully doing nothing but Haruhi for the next two years. :)
two years of endless eight
You should watch the manga, is better.
"Watch" the manga... OMG i can't stop laughing XD
They'll won't do one for Sawako. ;_:
Dont say Lazy, Buy one today
HOLY SHIT!!! I WANT BOTH!!!
All I care about is : CAST-OFF!
Who cares about Mio where's my Yui?
I would go with neither if it's like this. Mio figure looks absolutely stunning, and every detail on her bass guitar is perfect.
But problem is that both figures have a pose where they're halfway in the air. Imagine how they will look after a few years when room heat and gravity have done their work.
No, I rather buy a Mio figure where she has both her feet on the ground :P
YEARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Who am I kidding? I Just put a reservation on Hobby Search ¦3
Gonna buy the Yui figure too.
Yui is the way :3 I can't w8 for her
Where's my Guitar Heroine Azu-nyan?
Just noticed shes on the last pic can't wait :)
Now where's Azunyan, TakoMugi, Ricchan, & Sawa-chan? X3
Is TakoMugi official?? Meh don't think so. ^^;
Can't we just have them all? :(
I would actually buy this. Mio & Mugi anyway. Do the skirts come off? can you see the striped pantsu?
Probably there due to the HIGH LEVEL OF DETAIL EVERYWHERE.
But yeah somewhere there. I bet a Mugi figurine would be all hearts everywhere as she goes into yuri-mode. (She'll have a normal mode and a yuri-mode. 'Tis lol)
And the Azu-nyan figurine will have optional cat-ears too
+1.
Want Yui, Azunyan most though.
