Camera used: Nikon COOLPIX P5100
Even a humanoid interface from the Integrated Data Entity needs a break from observing Haruhi-sama sometimes. That is when I decided to bring Yuki to the beach at Sentosa for a day of relaxation. ^^
Upon arriving at the beach, Yuki told me that she didn’t have a swimsuit. Well that’s ok since there a swimsuit store by the beach. Inside the shop I felt rather awkward standing beside Yuki in the lady swimsuits section. The lady store clerk kept giving me weird stares and I swear I saw her giggling. Among all the bikinis on display, Yuki picked a blue coloured one piece.
I must say I was rather taken aback at Yuki’s choice since nowadays people seldom wear one piece anymore. But surprisingly the one piece looks great on Yuki. The blue colour is a large plus too. It’s my favourite colour. ^^;
After changing, Yuki walked to a shady spot under a tree and began reading her book. “Yuki! What are you doing? We are at the beach not at the library. C’mon!” I said to her. After looking at me blankly for a moment, Yuki put down her book and as if uncomfortable with what she is wearing, she began adjusting her swimsuit. Good thing I have my camera with me. ^^
Coincidentally, Rei and Asuka were at Sentosa as well. Not wanting to miss out on this opportunity, I asked them to take a photograph together and they agreed.
Bikini Rei and Asuka are two of my earliest and favourite figures. As you can see, not only does Yuki looks like Rei, both of them spots the same pose as well, adjusting their swimsuit. ^^
Figure Review
Swimsuit Yuki is a 1/8 scale PVC figure from Alter. Other than common flaws of PVC figures like seam lines on the hairpiece and thighs, the quality of this figure is pretty decent. Yuki’s mouth looks too small though but that’s ok no biggie.
The one piece suits Yuki very well. A bikini will be kinda out of place with her character. The pose is also made of win. Simply love the way she adjusts her swimsuit. In conclusion this is a good figure worth getting. Afterall this is a sexy side of Yuki we seldom get to see.
Lastly, below is an image of Yuki in the same swimsuit. If anyone has the complete higher resolution or similar images please let me know. Free cookies to those who help. ^^

Nice photos! And wow you brought them to the beach? Not many people around it seems from the photos. If the place was packed would you still take them out?
Wows, you weren’t worried about it getting sandy or anything? There are some nooks that would be difficult to clean out.
Nice outdoor shoot.
Nagato: You make it sound so hentai.
Want REI!
hirito,
me and yuki went on a weekday so ya there wasn’t much people around. not that i mind people looking at me, fewer people means lesser people blocking my shots.
there are some people who walked over to take a look. one of them even took a picture of me taking pictures of yuki. lol. ^^;
Nagato,
my own pants was wet and full of sand. so is my mobile phone which was in my pants’ pocket. good thing my camera was fine.
panther,
thanks.
double,
hard to get now this rei figure is. released long ago it is.
Damn, I remember seeing that Yuki pic in higher res sometime back…
And I was eyeing that Yuki figurine, now I’m even more tempted to buy it after seeing her wet.
The pictures are great… The Yuki figure looks awesome… especially with the few drops of water on it actually…
/me wants
I do remember seeing that Yuki pic in higher res a while ago… just can’t remember where… sorry.
Would love to see Yuki expression when she was choosing the swimsuit, LOl ^^.
Aside from that, nice pics mate XD.
After your review, I’ve just realized how great this figure is. WANT!
Great figure, and awesome photos. I love the beach as a background, it’s so fitting for figures. I need Yuki! ;_;
Random Misconception & Deranged,
glad that both of u like yuki wet. was hard getting yuki to get into the water. ^^;
lanie-emon,
thanks, not much expression from yuki other than her big eyes staring at me. ^^;
Mizunaga,
go get it!
Timotei,
i enjoyed the trip with yuki. long time since i have been to the beach myself.
they look amazing! Love how in the background you can seem some people but they all like the same size, so the girls don’t look like small figures but people. People asked me a lot if i got sand on the figures or the camera as well when i did my beach photo shoot, at first i was terrified to go out and do it since the beach was packed when i went but after a few minutes and a few stares i was having a blast. I like this yuki figure but i kinda don’t want to overload my collection with just haruhi figures so i haven’t gotten her, but when i go to anime expo if i see her for a decent price i’ll be snagging her.
Nice photos. Now, wouldn’t it be better if Yuki = swimsuit + rod?
sentosa’s pretty quiet on a weekday ^^. nice photos!
btw, forgot to mention. got you on my blog list
keep blogging!
Excellent shoot if i do say so myself. keep up the fine work gordon!!

Thanks
