Haruka Takamori 1/8 (Alter) review

DPP_0005

More under the cut

Here’s the cute Haruka , from the eroge “Chou Kousennin Haruka” . Haruka stand at a good 20 cm (1/8 scale) and is made by Alter . Sadly the painting and overall finish is not as good as the usual Alter work … Some painting dots are present and the painting at some parts is not as clean as usual …

It’s still nice but after some awesome figures like Lala and Yami , it’s a little disapointting to not see the same great finish on this Haruka .

Don’t misunderstand me , Haruka by Alter is a great figure , with great colors , a very dynamic pose and a great overall look , i can only say that she is worth having in any collection , but it’s just that the finish could have been better .

If you love the character , the Alter version is the best one of the three out there . Kotobukiya’s one looks kinda cheap (quality wise) compared to this one and the face of the Volks one is not as good .

I rate her 7.8/10 . Nice work from Alter .

  1. She is really cute !… but I had to cancel my order T_T
    Btw don’t you fear that the figure is going to bend?

  2. Hey Jintoo :)

    No bending , leg in ABS . The only thing that could break would be the support base (like with the Kaze , from Alter too) but i believe it won’t , as Haruka is really light so it’s not forcing on it . at least i hope so ^^

  3. like the blue background, go bears! (uc berkeley colors ^_^;)

    gaaaaa i need her now! i wish the face matched the prototype a little more but from the reviews being posted think i’ll be happy ^_^

  4. Haruka is hot!

    The support leg has a very solid feel. Don’t fear the warp, but am half expecting what happened with Kaze, which just means having to secure her to the base. It is a more snug fit than with Kaze, which was a little loose and probably what caused the stress failure.

  5. hawt!

  6. She looks really good, all that bothers me is thinking the peg in the base would break over time. Hopefully that isn’t a problem ^^

  7. LOVE!!!!!
    Amazing shots!!!
    I have the Koto version and it’s not bad. I do agree Alter did a cheap job on this one. The painting isn’t right or perfect compared to all other Alter figures…

  8. nice shots!
    like i already mentioned at happy soda the only thing that bothers me a bit is her facial expression otherwise shes nice(especially her pose)

  9. The black bg makes her look dangerous. ^^
    When she was first announced, I couldn’t wait to get it because of her dynamic pose and kool weapon but it was one of those “Must GET” moments where it lasted for a 2 days. lol
    Nice figure and I’m surprised the finishing touches was that great as u mentioned as she was already delayed. -_-
    My friend got the Koto one. It was a tough choice for him as he asked me for advice. ^^

  10. I know nothing about H-games, but I always thought this character looked very nice. Good costume and nice pose. If only Naruto had ninjas like her, I’d follow the show religiously ;).

  11. i like ones shot with the black background. reason being it’s looks 100% black. i can never get 100% with a black background. ^^;

  12. I love her dynamic pose, but I’m not a big fan of her face. She misses expressions…

  13. Seeing her so pretty here almost made me forgot she gets raped by tentacles.

  14. nice review of her :)

    i hope she wont bend, abs is not 100% guarantee tho.. got several Alter figurines bending already :(

  15. I have a ton of figurines coming up from Alter. that looks like they will bend, but hell yeah everyone keeps telling me they won’t -_-

    Haruka is nice =D. Love her, but I didn’t get ^^

  16. she got nice pantsu :D

  17. @ meronpan : you’ll be happy for sure ^^ and i love the blue too :)

    @ super rats : yes she is ! and i do hope she’ll stay in place ^^

    @ kielmaru07 : totally ^^

    @ Persocom : the peg seems solid but maybe the base will … we’ll see i guess …

    @ Rin : thanks :) i don’t like the Koto version , prefer this one :(

    @ Blowfish : i thinks her expression is nice but i can understand what bothers you :)

    @ optic : sad that you’re not buying her :( you really should :)

    @ marcus : yes me too , i’ll watch Naruto every day !

    @ gordon : it’s hard to do at first but with it’s possible after some try

    @ mikiwank : i think her expression is nice , looks a little like Kureha from Max Factory ^^

    @ Master Shin : tentacles are cute (maybe ?)

    @ ron : i know , i hope she won’t :(

    @ zenical : buy her !

    @ Lsio : yes indeed ^^

    Thank you everyone !

    I’m not here a lot lately , i’ll have lots of blogs to check i guess ^^ but i will :)

  18. J’arrive en dernier mais bon… c’est les meilleurs qui se font attendre… LoooL

    J’aime beaucoup cette version de Haruka et tes photos sur fonds rouge et bleu sont vraiment jolies.
    Ce que j’apprécie de cette figurine c’est sa pose dynamique :) mais ce support ça craint un peu :’(

  19. @ Lylichou : oui t’es la meilleure :o (la meilleure boulette ^^)

    j’adore la pose aussi :)

  20. Nooo James, I will not get Haruka because you tempted me! XD. Anyway I’m considering Alter Louise now ^^

  21. I like the pose of Haruka. Very fluid and in motion~

  22. Nice figure. One footer poses ftw!

  23. Gorgeous pictures, especially the first ones with red background which give a kind of warm feeling ^^
    Love the way this girl is designed (eroge characters are always the most impressive for that) and her gaze is going to kill me ^^

  24. I like her pose and nice pics especially the ones with black background ^^.

  25. Great shots. although I really need to stop looking at figure shoots since I currently have no income >.<

  26. @ zenical : yes Louise is cute too , will buy her one day too

    @ Q : yes i love it too :)

    @ lu-k : i agree , eroge character’s are always so cute :o

    @ Saku : i love the black background because it’s the only one the figure can appear exactly the same as real

    @ GNdynames : yes i understand , that’s a big problem :(

    Thanks all :)
