1/8 scale Mikuru Asahina by Max Factory
Here is another review to continue on this week track record. I present you Mikuru Asahina from the well known acclaim series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya by Max Factory.
Mikuru is the 2nd figure released from the Max Factory Haruhi series but she is my 4th one acquired. I got her late due to the fact, I got into the figure scene late and by the time I was really into it, she was long gone and most of the online stores have her discontinued. Ebay was my last option and after a long search, I managed to find one at a retail price.
She was my first figure bought from ebay and you bet I was worried considering ebay is full of bootleg figures but I double checked with the seller and his store and judging by the comments, I was safe the say, the figure he sells are legitimate.
Another magnificent job by Max again. She looks flawless and I’m surprised how they can sculpt such a beautiful and flawless figure based on a simple art design. Well, it may not be simple for the sculpturer but from my point of view, they make it look too easy. ^^
A few key areas I like are the maid outfit, the twin tails, the eyes and the hair band which is part of the outfit.
My Tusuruya-san review can be found here for anyone who hasn’t checked it out.
For the shoot, I went for the funky angles. My aim was to get closer to the figure and bring out her vibrant effect considering her pose looks dynamic and to achieve that, I had to take some funky angle shots. I think I managed it achieve it.
For other interesting shoots on her, please check out Koi Aichaku review.
I will be happy to link your review if you did one. Just let me know and I will add it. I try to remember reviews other people did but considering there are some many from the list on my blogroll and from other blogs I browser, its easy to forget. ^^
2 down, 3 more to go so look forward to it soon. ^^

The only thing thats preventing me from picking up one of these apart from the lack of stores that still have it in stock is that it’s prone to leaning. Nonetheless..she looks gorgeous.
She has great color and hair. Mine was leaning right out of the box, but hasn’t leaned any extra. Cool first shot.

Great Review, and great pictures!

Wow, nice photos there.
AS always, this figure is sure is classic, but it still has its popularity even for now.
Anyway, she really has a nice butt XD.
