In Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai, Kyōsuke Kōsaka, a normal 17-year-old high school student living in Chiba,[1] has not gotten along with his younger sister Kirino in years. For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Kyōsuke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever. One day however, Kyōsuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime which had fallen in his house’s entrance way. To Kyōsuke’s surprise, he finds a hidden adult game inside the case and he soon learns that both the DVD and the game belong to Kirino. That night, Kirino brings Kyōsuke to her room and reveals herself to be an otaku with an extensive collection of moe anime and younger sister-themed adult games she has been collecting in secret. Kyōsuke quickly becomes Kirino’s confidant for her secret hobby.

Every K-On! fan would definitely desire this Nendoroid Mio Akiyama PVC figure (けいおん! ねんどろいど 秋山澪 (PVC&ABS塗装済み可動フィギュア)) from Good Smile Company. Most of us who love the K-ON! anime are also avid Mio fans and already, this Nendoroid Mio has proven to be a huge hit. GSC did not even anticipate the size of the demand they would really get and the first shipment sold out promptly. Many did not even manage to get their preorder in in time but thankfully there is a second shipment that was out earlier this week. Quite a few places still have them and the prices have gone down to normal retail prices (you can see a comparison below) so do not end up paying more than what you should be doing so for a Nendoroid Mio figure. She might become more expensive when this current shipment become extinct, but not for now.

Not much more I can say about Nendoroid Mio and this figure line in general because I simply love these little deformed cuties. Most of us would love the crying Mio face in Nendoroid form:

The rest of the faces available are just as adorable and you also get a Nendoroid-sized bass guitar and amp for the left hand bassist. Pretty useful for some exchangeable poses with the other figures in the series. Can’t wait for the other three to come out, especially Nendoroid Yui whom I absolutely adore. Yes, I know she’s an airhead but a really cute one!

Price Comparisons for Nendoroid Mio Akiyama K-ON! PVC figure:

Amazon Japan – 4,480 yen
HobbySearch – 3,167 yen
Play-Asia – Pre-order

The wonderful Hatsune Miku VN02 Mix PVC figure (初音ミク VN02 mix (1/8スケールPVC&ABS塗装済み完成品)) is yet another Hatsune Miku for fans. However, it will be of special taste judging by comments that many prefer the cuter face that she usually sports. Personally, I find this figure has a different angle to it and the futuristic feel is definitely well present by the pose, the colours, base and suit that adorns her. The serious tone of it all would obviously not fit the normal Hatsune Miku face but the Hatsune Miku VN02 mix PVC figure itself is of top notch quality, based on equally awesome illustrations from Nagimiso of the cybernetic Miku.

I have a soft spot for futuristic figures or something that just screams out bombastic art and this figure definitely has it all. The different shades of green used also complements her well, and I can imagine it looking good standing next to the Black Rock Shooter pvc figure (oh when will it finally be out?). Max Factory definitely seems to have done a great job from initial masters but we will only know for sure in half a year’s time. The Hatsune Miku VN02 mix PVC figure does not see a release until Jun 2010. Long wait as usual but perhaps well worth it.

I’ve had a look around as usual trying to get my hands on the pre-order at the best possible price and the following are what I found and compared between. No prizes in guessing which one I opted for. It is still early and you can get the cheap preorder of the Hatsune Miku VN02 mix PVC figure. Figures like this are usually very expensive and might take forever before they are gone. Look at the Supercell feat. Hatsune Miku World is Mine PVC figure for example. Beautiful but you can still find it everywhere because of the price factor and bad economy that is hurting every collector’s wallet. So better to shop around and get the best prices possible.

Price Comparisons for Hatsune Miku VN02 mix PVC figure:

Amazon Japan – 10,300 yen w/free shipping
AmiAmi – 9,800 yen
HobbySearch – 11,581 yen
Play-Asia – US$139.90
