Just saw this wonderful Mio figure posted for reserve from one of my store's wholesalers mile-stone.jp Looks like it will be coming out in Japan some time in January. For me in the states...probably later -_- but we'll see.
I will post to the store the instant I can officially reserve her for US sales
She's a 1/8th scale figure and will retail for 7140 JPY (~$85)
Alter's Mio Akiyama figure has already been on the top of the pre-order list for many people for the past week and a half or so. I of course had to make her available for pre-order here in my shop. Alter's craftsmanship is stellar as they tend to be and like other Alter figures, expect the prototype to look practically identical to the final product. She's on my list to keep for myself as well ^o^...her official US release doesn't seem to be until January 2010 though -_-
K-ON! and especially Mio fans (like myself) will be happy with this bit of news. Up for pre-order is the Good Smile Company Akiyama Mio Nendoroid figure. The official Japan release date will be some time in November, so for us anime fans here in the US, chances are December is when we'll have her officially released in our neck of the woods. If any of you have been keeping track on dannychoo.com, you knew this figure has been in the works. Hopefully we can see the other girls from K-ON! soon as well ^_^
(I made sure to put her in my store. Click here to go to the pre-order page or email my store's account to be put on a waiting list. She'll be at $39.99USD plus $5 shipping for local, US buyers. If you are overseas, shipping will be rougly $15-$20 or maybe cheaper.)
