This 1/8 scale figure of Mikuru by Alter just came out and you can get the reviews at FooBarBaz and Akiba Hobby. Nice figure but theres something about the face. Not sure what it is. What is you be thinking?
Hmm black leg stockings : (. It is very well made though. The figure captures the Mikuru atmosphere nicely.
That something about the face is baby fat, or it being too round.
agreed
finally... (^^)/ i must buy it...
Like it. Her face is a little puffy, but no problems to me personally. :D
I usually love Alter's sculpts but...this doesn't feel like Mikuru. The hair color also seems like it should be a shade lighter, more like the color of the first Max Factory Mikuru.
I seconded that ... the hair color is totally wrong. Surprising that Alter will make such as mistake.
why thank you mikuru-chan, i will love a cup of tea. and a hug too if u don't mind. ^^;
happy hugging.. I shall instead, g__p_ her from behind >=D
stay away you!
hey, hey no fighting.. you might step on my shoes and bust my camera...the lady is handing me tea and it might spill there, too.
great figure, the "strange" thing in her face, I think is the smile (that xpression doesn't match with mikuru's usual faces at all) but nice at all =3
I agree, she usually has a more nervous looking face.
I think you're right, recalling the show. I'm going to hell for irreverence, but here's a shop: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn20/HOSB5NM7/not_mikuru.jpg
OMG Mikuru-chan is soo cute lol
cute maid ;_; uh i think mikururun's smile and/or eyes don't match? it looks like her even the hair color it's the expression that's quite uncertain :/ but cute nonetheless XD
It looks amazing WoW!
her mouth seems odd
I had this preordered, but I canceled my order as soon as I saw Max Factory's equivalent. This figure really doesn't capture Mikuru that well. The colors are too drab and her pose has no "oomph".
maybe it's the eyes... i mean the eyes on the face.. not the other eye..
Boring looking figure.
i have preordered this....
same here, can't wait for it to ship! ^_^ all the comments really go to show how different everyone's tastes are ^^;
not really a mikuru fan but i guess it's nice
kawaii! but yah it's a bit off (as in not 1005 mikuru), but still kawaii ^O^!
I mean 100% :P duh
It is a very nice figure overall. But I wont buy any Haruhi and Ikkitousen figures because there are simply too many of them. I suspect the studios make a lot more money from figure and other character goods than the show itself.

Me likey. Except her butt ugly shoes.
Might just get the Max Factory one instead. :
Maybe because she doesn't have her usual flustered face on...
Very nice, I really need a nice meido figure!
Indeed, something about the face...I think her eyes are a bit too big, but that could just be the angle though.
Mikuru is pretty as ever...
Wah! Very nice figure. I want to have her!!!11 Well it's a new scene, seeing Mikuru smile like that XD
Mikuru is my least favorite girl character in The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. To me, she's just ditzy moe character #23164. Next, please! Having said that, the sculpt is well-done, though the shoes are (while accurate) flat-out ugly. Nice fried soba maid/waitress costume and nice expression (though the face is kinda chubby). I'd rather get Alter lol-fang tan (Tsuruya).
cute, but the nose could do a bit of a nose job. hurhur
Mikuru has to be my favorite of the three Suzumiya girls. This figure will go great with my collection
I love the face. It's one of those faces I cant resist.... I really want a big Mikuru-chan figure. And Tsuruya-san too. I only have a little Figumate Mikuru.... :sob:
Probably b'cos we are all used to seeing a nervy/panicky Mikuru ... in this case, the sculptor probably did the figure without the image of Haruhi near Mikuru in his mind. ^_^ Face wise, I always felt Alter does not make as good a figure face compared to Max Factory or GSC.
cute, but could be a bit more frightened:D
Cute, but I'd rather have maid figures of characters who are actually maids :P
I can see what ppl are saying about the face, but that's still a very nice figure.
I can practically "feel" Mikuru through this... heck, I daresay she looks even more moe than her anime counterpart.
Nice, I think I prefer this over the old Max Factory one.
Love this Mikuru, I`ll get as soon I can!!
