Hirasawa Yui and Mio Akiyama spotted at the Alter booth today at the Wonfes. Yui looks a lot like herself from the Anime but Mio looks kinda average?

      Its not just guitars...
      Its... Giiii Taaah~!!!

      The Yui figure seem to have captured Yui's essence from the anime.
      The Mio figure is great too... nothing bad or special about it

        Agree with Yui's essence here, the figure really brings out her bright clumsy personality. As for Mio, well, it's Mio *nom nom nom*

    Not a bad figure! But their pose , it seem's like it has a tendency to lean when heated in a very warm room

    Hope Alter releases all of them! I'll love to get a set and wishful thinking but I hope they'll have interlocking bases or something so they can be displayed together without taking up too much space.

    I actually like the Mio figure better. She doesn't have the embarrassed look and, in fact, appears cool and natural. Thats how i interpret it anyway... the first picture of Yui looks a bit odd... but the second picture shows its probably just the angle.

    Both figures look lovely and absolutely spot on. Will definitely get them both. ^^

    Not sure why people say Mio looks off, she seems perfectly fine to me. Now hope they at least make an Azusa one too! (With optional nekomimi?)

    Also saw photos that Wave Corporation is making 1/10 scale figures of Mio and Yui in bikini for their beach queens figure series. Tempting~

    Both are gorgeous figures, although they look a bit shiney. I'd have to say Yui looks the better of the two, but that's probably just because the shadow is cast on Mio in such a way that she looks evil.

    Too bad, i'm more a Mio type of guy. This figurine looks average indeed where she should have a somewhat dark and thoughtful expression, oh well.

    I find both to be quite good however I would prefer a Good Smile rendition of the K-On cast... Usually I find the GSC's figures to be quite superior to the Alter's counterparts.

    Yui looks just right. No complaints at all. The detail on the guitars are excellent on both but Mio seems a bit off. Maybe her face?

    Watching the series again, Yui is growing on me and has knocked Mio out of my top favorite character spot so I just might get this figure when it comes out.

    Yui figure looks awesome while the Mio figure looks good. I wouldn't knock wither of these but the Yui one looks better. I am a Mio fan but I have to agree that the Yui figure here looks much better. Still love their uniforms and the details on Mio's bass and Gii-tah are awesome. I won't be able to afford these when they come out. Now, when a figma version comes out, let me know ASAP ^_^

    The details are very, very well done, Yui is sure get for me. The harsh light on Mio's face in the photo made her look kinda off, tho I'm sure she'll look fine in better lighting - looking forward to see more photos.
    Knowing Alter, I don't have to worry about the details "disappearing" in the final products too, so this is a great news. Well, maybe not so great for my wallet.

    Interesting how many people are asking for a GSC instead of Alter version - wasn't that long ago when Alter was considered the pinnacle of figure makers.

    They both look average to me...I think they're spot on from what I've seen of the anime, but Yui seems to have more of that intangible feel to her.

    I'm disappointed that Mio's likeness is not imbue within the figure. Yui's is spot on.

    I bought these garage kits at WF yesterday!
    I'm so happy.. still writing my WF report. Currently have limited internet access at the moment. :(

    Danny, did one of the GSC helpers pass you my otaku name card to you?
    I went to the booth about 3 times but wasn't able to see you, although I saw about 2-3 Storm Troopers there but none with red arm bands on them.

    Hmm, I feel like more time went into the detailing for the Les Paul and Jazz Bass than the figures themselves...

    Not quite persuaded to GET just yet, will see if GSC/Max Factory can do any better. Can't wait for the Nendoroids though.

    Yui is SO adorable!

    Their guitars. O_O Very nice.
    I wonder if they'd be the right size for a BJD...

    For the longest time, I actually wondered when and who would do figures of the K-On! girls. To my pleasant surprise, it is my favorite figure company ALTER. I watched 5 minutes of K-On! and lost interest due to being easily distracted at the moment. I think these are really beautiful figures of the girl and Ritsu would make a very sought after figure if they chose to make her.
