Alter’s Hirasawa Yui Up For Pre-order

Hirasawa Yui from K-ON! by Alter will be available this coming December 2009 for 6,800yen retail price. She measures 21cm tall. Hobby Search and HobbyLink Japan have pre-orders up as of today.

Aaaaaaah, finally! More K-ON! goodness! Yui looks amazing. I can just imagine how the whole group will look like once Mugi and Ritsu are out!

Alter’s Akiyama Mio Up For Pre-order!

Akiyama Mio from K-ON! by Alter will be available this coming November 2009 for 6,800yen retail price. Hobby Search and HobbyLink Japan have pre-orders up. More images over at Hobby Stock.

I’m sure this is one of the most anticipated figures for the end of the year, especially for all those raving K-ON! fans. I wonder when Alter will announce their Mugi and Ritsu! Truthfully, I think I might be more ecstatic about Yui’s release than Mio, orz.

Wonder Festival Summer 2009 Coverage! (UPDATE #3)

Finally, Wonder Festival has arrived! This time around, Wonfes will take place in Makuhari Messe instead of the usual Tokyo Big Sight.

Hobby Stock and Akiba Hobby have already posted a lot of coverage from the event. SO MANY EXCITING FIGURES! A LOT OF DO WANT! I don’t even know where to begin. I can already hear my wallet weep.

Extensive image coverage after the jump. Very image heavy.
