Haruhi Suzumiya Gekisou Ver. 1/8 (Max Factory) review
By James. Filed in Figures Pics, Figures Reviews |Tags: Haruhi
More under the cut
I won’t write a full review , as you can find lots everywhere on the web . Coming from Max Factory , this Haruhi is exactly as expected , looks 90% like the proto shots (some little color change but nothing really important) and with some nice details and a great painting . This one is my first Haruhi (yes,really) and i’m really happy i got her . So what are you waiting for ? Go get her !
8.6/10 Great looking figure from Max Factory . Good details and nice paint job too . Totally worth the buy .
Not happy with my pics this time , sorry about that . Next review : Raqel Gothic Ver.3 from E2046 .
And don’t forget to check all the other reviews of Haruhi : Chappy , Yuina , Dancing Queen , Meronpan , Shin-Otaku , Persocom , YuKi-To , Shad and Rin .
If i forgot yours , give me a link and i’ll be glad to add it to the list

Bonne série de photos. Ma préférence va vers celles en fond rouge et celles en fond fleuris. Je trouve quand même tes photos sympathiques, même si tu n’en sembles pas content. Espèce de perfectionniste va’ !
Pour ma part, va falloir que je daigne la faire cette reviews.. Une semaine que je l’ai, et pas encore fais les photos alors que je râlais après tout le monde. ^^

I love the guitar on this figure and the outfit, but I find the face feels a little out of place.

Le fond rouge sied à merveille la petite (soi-disant) déesse
Dommage que ton trépied limite tes angles de vue, je suis sûre que tu pourrais nous pondre des trucs vraiment intéressant <3
Tiens c’est marrant, on dirait que sur la toute 1ère photo, sa main tremble… peut-être jouait-elle de la gratte alors que tu la capturais en photo ?

@super rats,
Well it’s Haruhi , i was never totally fan of her face on figures . But this one is still the best available

@Yuina,
C’est mon teleobjectif qui limite oui
le tremblement c’est l’effet de flou du a l’ouverture ^^ . Mais oui on dirait qu’elle s’entraine :p

Wow, this figure is extremely well detailed. I’ve been thinking about picking this one up but I’m running out of room in my cabinet… Maybe I just need to make more room.

Congrats on getting your first Haruhi figure, and it’s surely a nice get~ Max Factory surely got it right and turned this figure into the talk of the month

She looks great, especially the outfit and guitar which make this figure quiet unique and eye capturing ^^ I’ve yet to get a Haruhi or any character from the series*gasp* shocking I know ^^

The guitar design is very cool (and realistic). Maybe we will see this design in future K-ON figures, but at the moment great pictures and amazing Haruhi figure you got.

been rewatching haruhi episodes lately and remember why i love her character so much ^^ makes this and all the other figures even better. now that i think about it, guess this release also adds to the guitar craziness of late ^^;
like the two column layout for the photos. makes use of all that space ^^

Incredibly sharp pictures! But I must resist @.@ I really should have gotten this instead of that failed Cyril I received recently, so much fail there.

Really great review
The figure is really a must have, especially for those who are fascinated by the Haruhi’s character (Indeed, it’s my case).
The pics with the red background are very nice ^^, but I’m not fond of the pictures with flowers, I think it’s a bit unsuitable with the figure. (What a great guitar, it really looks like she’s playing cheerfully… It’s Haruhi, after all.)
The first Max Factory’s figure of Haruhi looks very sad, if we have to compare…

@phossil,
Would be good to see K-ON figures but i sure hope we won’t see like 100 of them like Haruhi’s figures … they are others shows (better) worth making figures off …
And thanks

@meronpan,
Will rewatch , maybe i’ll start to love it ?
i will always do the two column pics , don’t know what i didn’t think of that before ^^

Friday, April 24th 2009 at 8:10 am |
@Wolfheinrich,
I’m surprised you bought Cyril , i mean , the proto shots were not that good , so yeah
And the retail version is missing the chains no ?
Sell her then buy Haruhi with the money ^^
[Reply]
Friday, April 24th 2009 at 8:11 am |
@Caziro,
Red background was ok , i should have taken all the pics with it … i don’t like the pics with the flowers either so yeah ^^

@James,
Thanks for your suggestion, I hadn’t thought of that. I have never sold any of my figure collection before. While the thought of recouping some money from a failed figure is quite appealing, I don’t know if I should spread the evil from this company known as “First Class” to my fellow otaku. You are quite right about the proto picture, it wasn’t that good to begin with, but I preordered her a long time ago and I don’t remember what I was smoking that day XD.
Well, there is a chain, I was just too busy with my effort to summarize Feena Fam Earthlight’s story to put it on.

Definitely one of the best Haruhi’s out there since the Max Factory one. The ones I’ve seen from this extravaganza series haruhi is the best so far, Mikuru has one weird pose and leg, can’t wait to see Yuki though

I like this Haruhi, the only flaw that I’ll make it, she does not appear in the series.
