Suzumiya Haruhi no Kentou
Haruhi - « KITA! Finally! My own special photo set! I’m so excited! »
- Yeah yeah it is your turn now. So let me write this article. *sight*
Haruhi - « What the? Not again!? I told you I don’t like your boring indoo… »
- Just… SHUT UP!
Haruhi - « … »
Back to normal
Hehe don’t be afraid, I just wanted to have some fun during the three last articles, giving life to my Haruhi figurine and imaginating her frustation for not being the main event of my latest figurine arrival (which also contained Masane and Pachira) ;)
I am not going to make a review, talking about what’s good and what’s wrong with this figurine. It would be useless, since to me, Max Factory reached the perfection with this Haruhi figurine, and I am sure Mikuru and Yuki will follow the same path.
*sight* I’m hardly affected by Haruhi-ism.
And I guess folks who read me know perfectly how much this figurine is considered.
So, here are some pictures of mine. I’m quite satisfied with the blue-background-pictures, but still have a lot of progress to do with black one. I love this color, but the paper I chose isn’t truly black. But it is not easy to find, a very-black big sheet of paper.
Before this photo session, I used to light my scene with 3 lamps (with one home-made diffuser). The result was nice, but too shiny. This time I tried with 2 lamps (and the diffuser) and some white A4 paper as reflector. That sure makes some good differences.
Product Information
- Manufactured by Max Factory
- 1/8 scale completed pvc figure
- First released in February 2007 in Japan
- List Price of 3,800 JPY
Haruhi - « Whaaaaaat!? 3,800JPY that’s all!? Hey! I worth much more than that! »
- Ho come on, this is awesome that a beautiful figurine of you has the cheapest price you can find for this scale.
Haruhi - « How rude it is! That’s not very honorific. I’ll remember this!
Anyway… you’re done? Now let’s go outside! You can take other pictures of me, and we’ll look for supernatural phenomenons! »
- Please not again… I’m tired.
Girl & Roses
Haruhi - « Ok! now look for a nice place. »
30 minutes later.
Haruhi - « Here! Look that’s pefect! I want those roses as a background. »
- Yes sir.
Haruhi - « From now be careful. Don’t miss any suspicious thing! »
Haruhi - « Ha! Over here, something moved! Did you see it? »
- Nope. But I’m quite sure it was the neighbour’s cat.
Haruhi - « Tsss how can you be useful if you don’t pay attention? »
- Well, I am actually paying attention to something else…
Time goes by…
Haruhi - « That’s all for today, I give up. »
- (yatta!)
Haruhi - « But I haven’t said my last word. Tomorrow is an other day. Go straight ahead! »
- Hoy, don’t steal words from others.
The real end
That’s all for Haruhi sketches, I swear, until Mikuru arrived ;)
I think abuse of Haruhi-sim is really dangerous for your health…
Must-look-at
Just a little post-it note, especially for those who haven’t seen it yet : go to HappySoda and admire super rats‘ works (and have some shooting lessons at the same time).

She’s really gorgeous now I’m feeling bad about canceling two times my pre-order at hlj.com in late January :’( now I don’t know what to do. Love the pantsu shots ^^

Noice!!! Yeah, it is kind of funny that Haruhi’s like the cheapest 1/8 figure.
Deep black non-glossy paper is tough to find. What makes it even more difficult to get deep black with the tabletop shots is how close the paper is to the lights.

nice pictures, even tho she is the cheapest 1/8 figure, IMO she is the best one
can’t wait to have my haruhi… July shipment ftl..

mmmhh yeah I guess I should find bigger paper, to increase the distance with the lights. Mines are actually a little bit short ^^;
Thank you for the tip!

Oh I want a Haruhi figure just for cuteness sake… so damn awesome!!! I should have bought the one I saw in London, only it was £38 and she was slightly smaller than this one. (The one with the chair and table etc)
