bandycam Posted August 15 Honestly floored because I legitimately never thought I'd get my hands on one of these girls, but when browsing Ebay the other day (randomly, since I NEVER use ebay and was only browsing it as an afterthought to see what kind of dollfie dream heads were available for my roommate who was wanting to get one) I stumbled across her ;^; I about cried, not gonna lie. Snatched her up immediately and although she's stained (pretty badly under the wig; I assume they just kinda... left her in her clothes in the box since the listing said she was kept mostly put away and she arrived in her clothing, which I completely failed to get a photo of. I was too excited aha. Also not pictured but I got her base guitar too!) I'd been wanting Mio since long before I even wanted a Dollfie Dream and she was going to be the "exception" way back in the day (jokes on me now I also collect vinyl dolls instead of just resin!) but I could never find one. But here we are!!! Fullset Mio Akiyama from K-On!!! Not 100% sure what I'll do with her yet, but I know I'll at least be swapping out her clothes later once I get something else (and its not like the stockings and wig haven't already done their staining damage e-e ) She needs a name! I've just been calling her Mio for now, but it doesn't feel ~ right ~ to me especially since I like making my own characters out of things (even if I adore Mio and K-On a lot!) 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xiongmao Posted August 16 Congrats. I've not watched K-On yet but it's on our list. I do have one of the K-On girls' guitars for my Bocchi chan though. I like the older DD. They have a certain charm. I think Erica Fontaine's my oldest and I'm umming and ahhing about getting Haruhi one day. Love the 👻 towel btw. It reminds me of the similar things I bought when I was in Tokyo (I have a Domo-kun one somewhere). My Dollfie doll family 😊. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They made Mio and Yui way back in the day. (Sorry Ritsu and Tsumugi !! You never got a chance ;^; ) TYSM!! <33 On 8/14/2024 at 10:03 PM, Stupid_Hoomun said: Congrats on getting Mio, she is awesome, I got both K-On! girls earlier this year, Mio is my favourite of the 2, love her little 'O' mouth. Ahh congrats!! Mio's lil "o" mouth is definitely what made me fall in love with her DD originally (and it helps that she's my favorite K-ON girl too.)

Please update us when you get the chance to personalise her some more to your taste. Yeah I was floored to find her fullset, not gonna lie! The shoes have a tiny bit of wear to them, and the guitar bag is absolutely going to start disintegrating soon (stupid pleather) but overall other than the staining she's got she's in excellent condition! I'll absolutely post photos of her once I've customized her <33 First I gotta figure out how to get that headcap off and change her eyes lol.

It reminds me of the similar things I bought when I was in Tokyo (I have a Domo-kun one somewhere). K-ON is really great if you're down for that kinda genre! I go back and rewatch it every year or so, since I find it pretty soothing and fun. Older DDs can be super cute! I do really enjoy looking at the evolution of them over the years, that's for sure! (My only other one is on the newest body atm, and has the much softer headcap so getting that on and off is easy. Mio... not so much.) And thank you! I love my ghost blanket too lol. I've got cats so I tossed something on the couch to keep her a bit more pet hair free when I was opening her lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
