Mio Akiyama Uplark and Alter
Ok, maybe this is a bit cheating since its almost the same figure with a few differences here and there. But hey, nobody gets the chance to review two figures that are almost the same right? I really don’t know what these two figure companies were thinking when they made they decided to make these figures. Were they targeting different markets, those who want a “cool Mio” (Uplark) and an “embarrassed Mio” (Alter) I wonder how Mio fans felt about this XD
For more pictures of Mio, please visit this site for the complete pics and the review as well
A side by side comparison of the two XD
I prefer this face over the one that Alter did. Sure its more "authentic" but this face has its own set of charms in it as well =D. You can also swap the face for a smiling one just so you guys know =D
Love how her body language totally depicts how taken back she is and how shy she can become on stage
Fan service shot for anyone of you guys there who are curious to know
Both figures had good detailing with the guitar, minus the head of the Uplark's (you'll see it in the link and you'll get my point)
I swear, if they made this into a semi translucent soft plastic, it would have been waaaay better. =D
I’d like to thank my friend Pete for allowing me to take pics from his figure collection. He also allowed me to cast off his Airi from Griffon. I’m tempted to cover it in the blog, but it’s NSFW material XD You can click here for more pics of this review
Max Factory FTW
SO! CUTE! I love her embarrassed one! :D Congrats on your new figures! ^_^
Sugoi~!
