Narika 1/8 ~Beat Blades Haruka~ (Alter) review
By James. Filed in Figures Pics, Figures Reviews |Tags: 1/8, Narika
More under the cut
And finally Alter released the long awaited Narika , from the visual novel Beat Blades Haruka . It sure took a long time with the delay and everything , but Narika is far from disappointing . It’s even better than Haruka because more detailled (and the paiting is flawless this time) . Narika stands in a one foot pose (looks the same as Signum) and she looks great that way . I guess Alter loves these poses , now that they’re possible , thanks to the use of ABS for the supporting leg . Anyway i don’t think i can express how much i like this figure , so i think the pics are going to do that for me . But if you love Alter and beautiful figures , you know you’re gonna love this one .
9.2/10
A very beautiful and detailled figure . Perfect painting , great colors and a sexy pose . What to ask for more ? A weapon ? Check .
One of the most beautiful figure this year .
Now some pics of Haruka and the two girls together :
Two bonus pics because i just took them to test my light :
That’s all for today , hope you liked the pics . And don’t forget to check Super Rats awesome pics of Narika here
edit : more reviews at Meronpan (on black background) , Kodomut (great outdoor pics and the melted base …) and Tier

It’s good to see you able to post again.
From the illustrations I like Haruka’s design better, but Narika’s figure is a cut above.

Elle est vraiment superbes, et tes photos sont vraiment belles. La lumière rend vraiment bien. J’aime beaucoup aussi celles où Haruka et Narika sont ensemble, ainsi que celle de Melissa Seraphy. Bref, t’es chou, et t’es le meilleur (même si tu réponds pas..)

Melted base ^^
I like Volk’s Haruka better because the pose looks much more dynamic!

Upon first glance, I immediately noticed you were using a different lighting setup. Nice sharp photos but contrast is a bit too high
Hey I see that your Haruka still stand strong! My Haruka’s peg broke! *gotta fix that*

yay, you got her ^^ love what they did, praying for subaru!
still afraid of leaning, despite the strong support leg because i saw an alter haruka leaning horrribly in akiba. i hope it was because she was melting in a display case or something and not a sign of longevity (or lack thereof) ^^;;;

“A very beautiful and detailled figure” I agree!
I like Narika figure mostly because it has a great color combination and the detail.

Cho Henshin Narika is awesome, definitely one of the best releases this year. I am still waiting for mine to show up :S Went with E2046 and they are usually a bit slow on the delivery. It’s a tad unfair to compare normal Haruka against the Choko Sennin Narika though, but the Choko Sennin version was designed with more visually pleasing to begin with. But to be honest here, I think Narika > Haruka in the Choko Sennin version nonetheless :3

Cette Narika est trop belle. Elle devrait bientôt arriver chez moi. Enfin, j’espère … ^^
Tes photos sont très jolies. Y’a un truc de changer par rapport aux précédentes reviews.
Et merci pour la photos d’Alice, c’est ma préférée.

Saw her the first time on Happy Soda and Im amazed that I didnt notice her earlier.That battlegear of her is so awesome aswell as her colour scheme

A really bright setting, but it shows Narika very well nonetheless. Was kinda worried what figures you’ve cancelled a few months ago, so it’s great to see you having Narika with no regrets ^^

You’re legendary now with your Narika melted base
Volks Haruka is nice but the painting is not as good

@Divine Fang,
I wanted this result so the high contrast is normal ^^
I’m shocked to learn about your Haruka ! And i thought the system was strong …

@meronpan,
In my room , in summer it’s something like 35 ° C and 28 all the year . I have only two figures leaning and it’s because they were poortly designed . Leaning is a fake fear , PVC figures are string and resist nicely to the heat

I initially wanted to cancel her, but now I’m glad that I didn’t. She is just simply awesome!
A question: What did you use to produce that kind of bright light? Just curious.

My next post will be a sort of tutorial/help to show how i make my pics

Had a chance to grab her at Play-asia but I thought about it for too long. Too long she’s gone.
I think that rhyme.
Awesome pictures again. Ur really tempting me to search high and low for her. xD
