み、み、みらくる みくるんるん！ Mi-mi-mirakuru Mikurun-run!

Double the mikuru love today.

And how could I resist more miku? ^_^

Were I able to budget myself better I probably would’ve just went with the Alter maid version but I really wanted to have the entire Max Factory lineup ^^;

My apologies to any regular readers, but I don't think I'll ever get tired of haruhi in that pose ^^;;

My usual box shot... now with 100% more figma!

Fate to the rescue again ^_^

Some of these photos are from the same day I shot tsuruya & Saber… unfortunately a lot of them were way dark -_-

元気ですね～ {very "healthy" isn't she?} ^^;

パンツ！　その一 {first pantsu shot}

Wouldn’t be right if haruhi wasn’t giving mikuru a hard time, now would it?

「パンツ見せなさい！」 {show your pantsu!}

「うううぅぅぅ～」 {uuuuu}

「はい！　でかした、みくるちゃん！」　{Ok! Good job, mikuru-chan!}

Though the short skirt provides ample panchira opportunities I’ve always preferred mikuru with her hair down… not to mention the maid outfit really suits her ^_^

Fate wants some tea...

「お茶とみくるビーム一つ、お願いします～」 {some tea and a mikuru beam please~}

「いや、ちょっと待っててね。変わりになのはちゃん一人にしますね。」 {On second thought, I'll have some nanoha-chan}

「あの、この店はそういうじゃないんですが」 {Umm, this isn't that kind of shop!}

I liked the Max Factory tsuruya but for some reason their mikuru maid didn’t do it for me. Too outgoing in her pose or something… just didn’t feel mikuru enough. (coulda sworn I left a comment somewhere saying the same thing… ^^;)

Is it just me or does haruhi look weird straight on? mmm on second thought maybe it's just late ^^;;

Nendoroid inspection... haruhi: "Not enough pantsu!" miku: "Not enough leeks!"

Wish I had that wonfes edition that came with more props ^^;

On to some close ups…  note to self: I need a tripod and some lighting orz

Very shiny from this angle for some reason...

One thing I enjoy about doing these reviews is that you discover all the little details about your figures.

I love all the little things like buttons or finger nails painted. This is no Alter Saber maid, but it'll do :P

Pantsu fans foiled by tights! Tights fans service!

Max Factory mikuru has no chance of escaping the low anglers...

…aaaand back to shenanigans. I also need to get the ac adapter for my camera… it’s pretty annoying to turn it off every time I have to pause to repose the figmas ^^;

miku fell ;_;

Attack!

oshiri slice!

I’ve seen the term 攻め (seme) pop up in koihime (anime) and tsuyokiss (game) recently. Literally it means “attack” but it can be used to refer to the dominant partner in a relationship ^^; Was happy I understood the jokes – that’s always been one of the frustrating parts about watching Japanese tv for me… all the people in the audience laughing and I’m just sitting there thinking, “wait, what? that was a joke?” …and by then I’ve missed more dialog orz

「前から気になったんだけど…どっちが攻め？」 {It's been bothering me for a while, but which one of you is the "aggressor"?}

It just occurred to me the above comment could be applied to either haruhi <-> mikuru or Fate <-> nanoha ^^;

Skirts make it damned impossible for figmas to sit ^^;

say cheese!

Is it bad I keep depicting my figures as ero or violent ^^;;

Fate! Stop that!

Ack! nanoha too?!

Max Factory haruhi is supposedly in the mail, which I believe will finally complete my MF haruhi collection (to my satisfaction at least). I find it strange I’ve gone to such lengths to grab all these haruhi figures seeing as how it’s really not my favorite series or anything. I guess it’s just so influential in the oktakusphere I couldn’t not collect them ^^;

foo-bar-baz has a bunch of relevant review… wf summer uniform haruhi w/adventure of mikuru prop set, Max Factory mikuru (mikuru beam version), Alter mikuru maid, and Max Factory mikuru maid

And more Max Factory mikuru coverage from blogs I read – Opticzone, ~Koi Aichaku~… it’s late and that’s all I could remember at the moment ^^; Drop a line if you’ve got more pics~ Didn’t find any Alter mikuru owners ^^;

それじゃ、おやすみなさい～ {and with that, good night, folks!}
