YES! She looks great in your pictures! I’m really excited about this Haruhi! I think this Haruhi might have my favorite face of all the Haruhi figures! And the best part is thanks to glorious Kotobukiya’s US prices I was able to pre-order her at under $40! I actually rarely buy bathing suit figures, this Haruhi will be my 3rd one. But I bought her more for how awesome her shirt looks then for the bathing suit part.

PS – I like the creativity about what to do with the base.

LOL at the use for the base!
I prefer to display crouching/lying figures without their base.Saves spaces and usually looks better.

I hope you had fun at the beach!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You used the base as a coaster!?!?! Anyways, I think they were trying to mimic the grainy texture of being at the sand by using the corkscrew material. I have a figure that’s like that too and it made me go ‘wth’.

Very cute date you had there.

…Sembawang Beach? THAT’S PITTANCE, I TELL YA! PITTANCE! (Also, are we living very near to each other? ‘Cos the beach is abt 10 minutes’ drive from my area.)

I gotta say: nice use of the kit lens (if you’re still using it), and the manner of the poses and picture reveals are interesting. Sadly though, something feels a bit… “off” about Haruhi’s face. (My opinion, others can pelt eggs at me if they wish to.)

Overall, the figurine sculpt is excellent and surprisingly discreet at the same time (not sure what that means though o.0); thanks for posting up the shots.

@ rangerroh,
only practical use i can think of.

@ Stifler & alafista,
as a base it’s terrible. but as a coaster, it’s actually pretty good. XD

@ WanderingMind,
now u do.

@ Leefe,
i can sell it to u if u want.

@ soonkiong,
i don’t go to the bar.

@ The Sojourner,
absurdity?

@ jusuchin85,
hey welcome back! was wondering where have u been.

@ koshiko,
thanks for warning but i think i won’t be needing it again.

@ Pyoro,
give in to your desire. resistance is futile!

@ cavalock,
better get it fast if u change your mind or it will be gone soon.

@ Marianto,
it’s mass produced so such faults are understandable. no biggie, still nice. ^^

@ yumeno,
congrats for guessing correctly it’s milo.

@ Divine Fang,
yuki’s head looks very small though. i try to position her closer to the camera to offset the effect.

@ ron~,
beach shoots are great except for nosy people who gets in the picture. bikini babes are fine but sadly didn’t see any that day. it was more of a family beach.

I love the 5th pic (landscape)! 1/8 Yuki goes really well with 1/7 Haruhi despite different scale there
