Did they ditch the support claw thing and went with peg?
That's just the display GSC usually showcasee their nendoroids with.^^;

Fellow K-ON! fans, our wait is over: pre-orders begin today for the first of four Nendoroids from the series, the lovely lefty bass guitarist Mio. Good Smile's English Web site added a post about her earlier today with a few new pictures and more details. In addition to the bass guitar and amp accessories we knew she was already coming with, Mio gets a few extra arms and a few new faces. That includes the embarrassed and crying Mio you see above, which out to make a lot of people very, very happy.
As for release details, Mio comes out in November for 3,500 yen, which isn't too bad of a price at all. Hobby Search and most other online retailers are ready to take your money. I only have one question to ask: can I go back and change my DO WANT for this month now?
