Yui Hirasawa

Things I don’t talk about much: I am a huge fan of “K-On!” There’s something about that series that just makes me happy, like prozac, only better. And because of that, just for funsies, I picked up a Yui Nendoroid. 

In the box:

And now, in her case:

Here she is!

If Yui were running for president (God help us all), this would be her “Vote for Yui!” poster. 

She comes with her adorable little guitar and amp, with hands to match. 

And two other faces.

You can also see her alternate legs, as well as hands, in that last picture.

It’s a pretty simple, straightforward figure. I love the stand on this one – one of the older stands. I only have a couple that use these, and man, I love them. I’m very partial to stands that don’t require drilling holes in the back of figures or wedging a clear bar underneath long hair. I don’t think it’s likely we’ll see these stands anytime in the near future, though; Yui is Nendo number 86, so we’re quite a ways away from her now. Good Smile has, sadly, moved on. 

As always with Nendoroids, Yui is flawless. She’s a lovely character on a lovely figure. Quality is superb; there’s really nothing to complain about here. I’m glad I finally picked her up.
