Yui & Mugi Live Stage Nendoroids! K-on!

I received these in the mail last week and thought I should post some photos for everyone. This now completes my K-on! Live Stage set collection.


This time I actually noticed the little card board floor boards that come with the stage sets (they're made so that you have to tear them out from part of the packaging found inside the box) and decided to try them out. You can probably see in some of the photos that they don't sit down complete but they fit in pretty well overall. The only thing with the floor boards is that you can't plug any of the little accessory bits into the stage. Not a big deal though.


Like I said in my earlier post the getting Yui to stand up is pretty annoying. In the end I just kind of let her lean back on her little stand. Mugi on the other hand was much better. Recommend this to any K-on/Nendoroid fan!
Really like this photo. I think it's the lighting, shadows etc. Something about it is just nice.

Athrun Zala I-Doll Gundam Seed


This is my latest acquisition in the figure collecting world! The figure is part of a series which is called I-Doll.
He's Athrun Zala, one of the main characters from Gundam Seed/Destiny
No Flash

This figure even has a speaker in its base which can play lines he says from the show! Unfortunately he only comes with two lines. :( Pretty lame, some of my others come with a few more. Overally, he's probably the best that I've got so far in terms of quality. The sculpting and paint job are done pretty well so there's not much to really complain about apart from the lack of lines. I'd probably give him a 9/10 overall. He's a lot more refined than the Kira I-Doll. Too bad too cause that's about the only 'decent' figure of Kira Yamato and they didn't even bother to put much effort into him. ;(

So far the others in the 'small' I-Doll line I have are Meyrin, Shinn, Lacus, Kira and I also have the large one of Lacus who has 10 lines from the show! I'm currently awaiting Yzac, Stella, Cagalli and Lunamaria in the mail which should arrive within the next week. Which just leaves the small and large Meer Campbell and the large Lunamaria to acquire!

Other figures I'm awaiting in the mail are Asuka Loppi Lawson and Asuka Pajama Baby and I've got a few others on preorder.

I'll be sure to post photos of them when they arrive!

Last week I received the Yui/Mugi half of the nendoroid stage set which I'll probably post some photos up soon enough. They're really cute! The only thing I can really complain about is how hard it is to get Yui to stand. The support that comes with her is pretty useless. Mio, Mugi, and Ritsu were much easier to set up.

That's all for now. Until next time!
