Loaned figures? Confused? It’s a simple explanation! I’m broke! I know I keep complaining about it! I’m sorry! But my last job had the WORST hours known to man! I do have a new job lined up but I need to catch up on credit cards too! I am however lucky that I’ve got great friends who are willing to lend me figures for review!

Loaned to me by my good friend Cristina Vee! You may have heard of her from her Youtube ValliereVee where she sings Anime songs in English! She’s also a voice actress! She’s done a few roles you may have heard of… Louise from Zero no Tsukaima, Nanoha from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha to name a few!

She’s also the new Haruhi for the ASOS Brigade! You can see their new video and see Cristina sing Super Driver!

I’m in the Audience too! I’m the Snow White!

Back to Mio! Mobip to my understanding is Aoshima’s version of the Figma. While I am a fan of Figmas i have to say the quality of these Mobip figures have caught me off guard with the awesome Quality.

I do wish the Guitar had strings. It seems that so many other figures companies add the strings and once you find a new figures that doesn’t have the strings it’s almost a let down.

Not a huge fan of her different faces, I do love this one with the tears streaking down her face, but the difference between the other two faces are just a teeny little smile.

Yep, she does come with our favorite Striped Pantsu!

This is the alternate sad face, and it’s just too similar to the other face. her bag is however cute!

She has about the same posability as a general figma, but the accessories that it comes with seem to be lacking just a little. Especially with the figma coming with a guitar case!

Paint job isn’t that bad, but then for an action figure you never expect top quality.

Her base is very similar to the Figma base, and she only has a hole in her head to keep her up. Unlike that of some newer figmas that figured out how to get it through the back too!

While the only time I’d ever buy even a figma would be if I loved the character or if I were just completing the set. Even with the fact that Yui is my favorite I doubt I would have run out to buy the Mobip version. I would have waited for the Figma version instead. But then that doesn’t mean this figure is at all lacking, she’s really well made and if you’re a HUGE K-On fan then getting your hands on this Mobip figure and the Figma version would be the same as me getting both Revoltechs of Yoko! Which I DO have both version!
