Good morning, afternoon or evening to you all! The other day when i received my figures from AmiAmi I was too busy to actually review the figures properly.. But netherless here are the two K-ON figures i did promise reviewing!
First up we have Tsumugi Kotobuki σ(ﾟｰ^*)
You can see my messy computer room in the blurred background (*´_ゝ｀) It was also so hard to take nice pictures because The sunlight was either too harsh or too little and i really like only using natural lighting! Doing this during midday probably wasn't the best idea but at night there isn't enough lighting. Also i placed her on top of my printer to do the photo taking since then it would face at the window... Cute printer cover
Overall shot and yes i did realise right after that the keyboard was the wrong way around (ﾉ)´∀｀(ヾ).
A side view of Mugi-chan. I really love how chubby her face looks from this angle!
Her hair really shows such beautiful movement! I just love those individual strands on her back and that brown gradient on her tips!
The hair is amazing.
Took away her keyboard in this shot as it was covering some parts.
Overall shot without the keyboard. One downside to the removable keyboard is that there is actally no place on the stand to plug in the keyboard stand so if there happens to be some sort o earthquake by the fat me walking down the hallway the keyboard may shake and potentially fall of onto the floor and break.
(´Ａ｀。)
Now for the detail shots! I love Mugi's expression captured in this picture! Her cute little smile is enticing and of course her pickle eyebrows!
When looking at this figure you should also really focus on the creasing on her shirt. How they make it seem so lifelike i have no idea. When i try to draw creases on characters they always turn out looking so rigid. Her sleeves are folded in such a nice way it looks lifelike! The buttons on her shirt are also coated with a slight metallic paint and it looks almost like mini thumb tacks!
And of course! Leg time! I love the little bits of orange gradient sprayed onto her legs to give it a more fleshy tone what i also really like is the fact that she is not stick skinny and the shape of her thighs is really nice! And also the way her skirt folds in between her legs is also given a lot of thought! Each individual crease is so nice. (●´ω｀●)ゞ
Swish! The hair is made so wonderfully! It almost is lifelike! The wind is blowing from the right but she is swaying and that causes the overall hair to be leaning towards the left but the tips will also curve back to the right. If only i had hair this luscious and long.
I hope you can see the gradient better this way! This photo is such a tease. Hiding everything under her skirt but also showing so much of the thigh!
Also the hands are sculpted so delicately considering how small they actually are! I also like the fact that when you look very carefully you can also notice a pearly nail polish on her fingers.
The way her skirt flies up just a little bit showing more of her thigh is so nice for all the guys that own this figure. （＿´ω｀）Her thigh has such a nice shape. It's not fat at all but just nicely toned. Can i have your legs Mugi?!
More closeup of her gradiented legs near the socks. Even the socks have a very slight grey gradient and her shoes as well! Alter puts so much effort into making the little parts come to life.
Look it's Mugi's keyboard! The most realistically small keyboard i have ever seen! It looks like you can just turn it on and it would work!
All these little dials have little white wordings on them and the camera can't show it but in real life you can actually read what they say! The LCD screen is also so cute you can also read 'S01:Caqayake GIRLS' and other small things! You can listen to Caqayake Girls here! It is the opening for the Anime! You will actually be amazed at how interesting just reading it would be.
All the ports on the side of the keyboard even my old keyboard wasn't this detailed. What is this?! A toy keyboard more realistic than a real one! I don't even know what half the switches are used for. Guess i am an old school piano user.
Look, a caution electric sign! Can't believe they actually printed this out! What annoys me is that the power buttons is not aligned properly. Maybe it was intentional since on some keyboards it looks like that. Doesn't the part where you plug in the power cord look like real metal?
Last shot of Tsumugi Kotobuki!
Moving onto Azusa Nakano!
The light reflecting onto Nakano's left eye is really annoying me a bit but i guess it is unavoidable. Here is an overall shot of Azusa striking her pose jumping in the air! I love the way her hair curls towards her and her overall pose!
From a side view you look at Azusa and it looks like she could be sitting on an invisible chair! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) But just the same as Mugi she has plenty of gradient everywhere giving a lifelike look.
This photo is a little blurry sorry for that! But you can see that on the back she is leaning forward holding her guitar so of course her blazer would be tighter from the back and you can see the shape of her wing bones!
I was turning Azusa around with her head and i accidentally lifted her head off ヘ（。□°）ヘ Well I may as well show you a picture on how her hair is changed. You pull of her head in this way and her fringe can be changed with a bonus on in the package. Or you can take of her head for some Halloween shoot! Who knows what you can do with her headless body!
Viewed from the left hand side you can see her left ponytail curling around her in a nice shape.
Time for detailed shots! Here is a close-up of her face and i just love those two blushes on her cheeks! It really brings out her cute personality! Also her mouth is very deep cut it's adorable! Sorry that her face is lit from one side. I couldn't take a nice photo since my table is backlit so even to get this i had to lean on the table to be able to get even a side lit face.
Her gradient legs similar to Mugi! Look at that tease of a skirt folding in between her legs! I really love how Azusa's leg's are sculpted as well they are thinner than Mugi's but still lovely and have their own unique shape. 〜(^∇^〜）
Here is another teasing photo! Look at that shape of her thigh! Just lovely!
Here is details of her guitar now. There is so much dust just from a few days of sitting around in my room.
ｏｒｚ もう駄目… You can also see in this photo the way that the sleeve of the blazer is pulled to make it look more like she is stretching her arm out!
Did you know that the strings on her guitar are actually bendable strings! Pretty much they are very thin clear plastic strings and when you press it down it has this certain elasticity to it! The guitar pick guard? also has it's own pattern on it; it makes it look almost marbly? (*･▽･*)
Sorry for my bad aperture! Most of the things shouldn't be this blurry! But also look at the guitar tip! It has these little knobs for tuning and it does seem like you can turn them!
Also her hand has this little white pick in it! It looks so cute and miniature! She also has a pearly nail polish which i did not show.
Here again are the realistic creases on her blazer. Her blazer pocket in this shot also somehow looks open!
Her skirt goes so high! Showing so much nice legs and her black knee high socks give off so much of a 'Azusa' feel.
Here is the leg shot! You can make out the cute toned leg shape of Azusa and also how delicate they look!
Here are the two hairs included in the pack! I of course like to display her with her cat ears! I hope you don't mind the hideous background and poor photo quality of this shot!
Last picture overall of Azusa Nakano with her normal hair!
And a picture to finish off! Azusa and Tsumugi side by side! Adorable!
