I have been eyeing this particular figurine since i heard of it's pre-order since early oct, ever since then, i've been looking around from it, and the local shops down here stopped pre-ordering by then.. so when i saw one on the shelf of a local, though with a pricey price tag... i thought why not? Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas And Happy New Year to myself!!..and voila, here we are, one of the most bea-U-tiful Haruhi figurine created to date!! (second to freeing's 1/4 Haruhi, gotta get my hands on that too!!), Got out my camera and started easing my itchy trigger finger!!
Speaking of trigger fingers, This version of Haruhi has her posing in a mid-dash position, with her two finger salute and her trademark, well not really a trademark.. but it's around there, that slight smile..that will melt any Haruhi's fan's heart..
Alongside with her smile, Alter has also included her schoolbag (logical with the school uniform eh?) her trademark hairband and also her arm band! (which i still think has Leader written on it.. hmm)
Everything is sculptured perfectly (IMO) from her hairband to her uniform crest, ribbon and even her footwear.. well, to various other parts too.. :D
One thing that worries me.. is that Haruhi stands on one foot, leaning a little towards her right.. in due time, i'am pretty sure it will lean completely to her right..which worries me alot when i first got her..thankfully, she sticks out her right hand palm facing outwards.. she can at least support the undistributed weight to her hand..
I do admit, her pose makes taking photos of her rather difficult, i tried different angles and lightning, but i mostly get the same results, or perhaps i'm just not that good in photography yet eh? Probably need to rack my brain for more creative shots or poses.. if possible. Most of her angles show the same result.. but nevertheless..
with a little braining racking.. i somehow managed to get a one or two creative shots.. depending on how you decipher it ;) though her pose won't change.. and i can't take her laying down.. just doesn't seem right..
Well, i don't normally do this type of shoots, but i suppose.. if they give it.. i'll take it? :P Sides, i dedicated this few shots to my "otaku" buddy, Mr Yeo Kuan Rui.. yess you like that don't cha Kuan? :P enjoy!.. sides.. you just can't say no to...
this cute face
can you? :P
i couldn't ;P Haha!!
All in all, if you're a Haruhi fan, have the excess money to spend, love pvc figurines, prefers a close to prefect sculptured figurine (i find it prefect, but maybe i'm just bias :P) don't mind a leaning figurine or just need a good looking paperweight, maybe this particular version of Haruhi can just be that solution.. Mind you though.. she's quite rare in the local market.. went to 4 shops.. and only one shop was holding on to a few more.. or you can just op for the bikini Haruhi.. but thats another story.. that i won't be venturing at all..
So with that.. i leave you if without any awe with the figurine..at least in awe of the photography attempts :P
haha..
Cheers!!
