Figma Mio Akiyama Review

The Figma incarnation of moe, mature, scardy-cat, left handed, bassist Mio Akiyama from the series K-On! is finally here!

While my personal favorite girl from the series is Yui, followed by Ritsu, no one can deny Mio's popularity as she ranks high up in the K-On! fan favorite roster, along with Azusa and Yui. And I can see why.

Becoming notorious for her display of Shimapan (shima pantsu, meaning striped panties), does Figma Mio deliver in this respect? Let's find out! (^.^)

      Yui's the same, I can't remember when they changed it over to peg's but it's been like that for all the recent releases.

        Generally the Figmas that are in the same franchise will have the same kind of hand pegs. So the later Nanoha figures like Vita still have the handballs because all of the Nanoha ones did. Same goes for Fate/Stay Night and Lucky Star and any other series that has been part of the Figma family for a long time.

        I heard, though, that the Nanoha movie Figmas made the switch to the new peg and it's about time they broke the cycle!
