Asahina Mikuru Gekisou Version 1/8 (Max Factory) review
By James. Filed in Figures Pics, Figures Reviews, Girls and Flowers |Tags: mikuru gekisou 1/8
More under the cut
And here’s the second figure from the Gekisou trio , the very cute Mikuru . I won’t make a full review , as there is no surprise if you already got Haruhi …
The retail version is , as always with Max Factory , exactly like the proto shots , so there’s no disapointement with that . The painting is well done , with lots of details everywhere and Mikuru’s pose is nice and sweet . Speaking of her pose , i know lots of people are complaining about her right leg , i’m sorry but i don’t really thing it’s a problem . Girls can easily do that pose (i know , i asked a friend to do it ^^) so i believe it’s all good . Personaly it’s my favorite Mikuru figure (with the Griffon version being second) so if you’re a Mikuru fan , you know what to do .
8.6/10 A great figure overall , with no flaws or anything . Surely the best Mikuru available for now .
You can check my Haruhi Gekisou review here if you missed it .
Now for the pics :
I didn’t have the time to update for a while but i can promise you one review every day for one week , as i have 6 figures to review after Mikuru . Hope you like the pics … And don’t forget to check others reviews of Mikuru at Rin’s blog and Danny Choo . If i forgot your Mikuru review , please tell me so i can add it .

Waaaah trop la classe pitaccchiiiii (L) Totally in love with le bg noir + fleurs que t’as utilisé :333
Bon, now that you had me wanting to get her, tu me l’offres ? héhé
Mais je persiste à penser qu’elle ne vaut pas le meme prix que Haruhi Gekisou… si elle avait été moins onéreuse, pourquoi pas…

@James, mais et la guitarre ? c’est quand même bien plus sophistiqué qu’un tambourrin, nan ?
ps : volontiers, mais je ne voudrais pas m’interposer entre Caz et toi, voyons

@Yuina,
Je ne suis pas gay pfff :’( . Pas la peine de mentir , dis juste que je ne suis pas assez bien pour toi , je le sais de toute facon
Ok pour la guitare (et encore , le tambourrin est vraiment bien détaillé) mais les vétements de Mikuru me semblent mieux détaillés et la peinture utilisée de meilleure qualité . Je ferais un comparatif une fois Yuki recue

Cute! Beautiful pictures as always. I’m probably going to get Orchid Seed’s Mikuru next month, but I’d get this one if she were playing bass or sax or something instead of tambourine.

Bouh, moi qui voulais être la première à poster, j’ai pas pu. Et pourtant, je les attendais tes photos de Mikuru après avoir vu sur Flickr.
Comme je te l’ai dis, je love complétement cette série de photos. Je les trouve superbe. Elles ont un décors simple, mais qui fait énormément ressortir la figurine et ses couleurs. Et puis, tu sais ce que je pense de tes photos. T’es pas mon Pitachou-sensei pour rien ^^ Je t’ai pas choisi comme professeur de photographie par défaut
Je vois que tu dragues d’autres filles
Snif !
T’es chou !!

Cette série de photo est superbe. J’adhère à 100%

Wll its Haruhi-series so you know my opinion about it ^^;
Its a shame that shes only playing the tambourine since real isntruments make a figure a hundred times sexier.They should have given her the drums or something.
The figure looks neat in quality terms and your pictures are great as usual.Im looking forward to the review week

Great photos! Mikuru looks great here with a cute pose. My only problem with the figure is that she’s playing the tambourine.. Yuki and Haruhi get awesome guitars and all Mikuru gets is a tambourine?
Oh.. looks like Blowfish above me is saying the same thing.. glad I’m not the only one who feels this way

Cette nouvelle Mikuru est vraiment jolie!!! ♥
J’aime beaucoup le rose et les pièces translucides de sa robe. La pose est aussi très réussi et hyper dynamique.
Quand à tes photos, elles sont très réussi. Pas de shooting sur fond blanc “pas de fond” cette fois-ci!?
Sinon, j’attends toujours avec impatience ta review des deux Idolm@ster.

A lot of people complaining about her right leg? I haven’t heard of that before. ^^;
Max Factory is surely doing it right with this set of Haruhi figures this time; they surely haven’t disappoint the fans and the collectors. This Mikuru is also the happiest looking Mikuru I’ve seen so far, as she’s often seen looking timid or worried or looking really scared etc, so it’s great to see a nice change and a dynamic pose of her there.

@lylibellule,
Content de te faite acheter quelque chose ^^
C’est clair que vu que tu as Haruhi , ca serait dommage de ne pas prendre celle ci (qui est bien plus jolie , avis perso)

@Blowfish,
Your opinion about Haruhi series is the same as mine
I love the tambourine myself , looks cute i think ^^

@Chrono-Kun,
Pas tout le monde aime mes photos sur fond blanc alors je change ^^
Et puis faut bien que je continue ma série avec les fleurs ^^
J’ai raté les photos des Idolmaster hier … mais ca viendra bientot

@Q,
I agree , i love to finally see a happy Mikuru , it’s better that way
Her right leg is cute

Friday, May 15th 2009 at 3:51 pm |
perso je préfère 10 fois plus Mikuru à Haruhi !!!
mais pas le sou du tout et j’ai d’autres préco de prévu !!
tes photos sont vraiment excellentes là : le fond choisi un peu sombre, fais ressortir les couleurs pastel de la fig
je pourrais presque craquer
[Reply]
Friday, May 15th 2009 at 7:43 pm |
Être en retard, c’est la mal
(je dis ça pour mon commentaire ^^”)
Mais franchement, tes photos sont superbes, le fond, assez original je trouve est joli et ne mange pas du tout l’attention qu’on porte à Mikuru servie par un super contraste.
Je pense que c’est ta plus belle série de photos, honnêtement ^^.
Félicitations, j’aurai aimé l’avoir pour compléter Haruhi… avec Yuki plus tard, mais bon… je ne me fais pas de soucis, Max Factory les rééditera sans doute

I’m loving her pose and expression ^^ and I personally think the tambourine suits her, she’s more playful and shy so drums wouldn’t really fit her
liking this line of Max Factory suzamiya figures, way more dramatic and they look awesome all together ^^ great pictures, glad to have you back in business ;D

Mikuru Gekisou is turning out quite nice. I have to agree this is probably the best looking Mikuru to date. However, I have to pass on the Gekisou trio, my budget is getting strained by my musumes dollfie :s

I like the backdrop u used despite being blurred out.
She’s a bit pricy and I already have the adult version on preorder so I might wait for a preorder free month to get her. If I could, I would have clicked on the cart button but I already blew my budget away at the HLJ sale. >_>
