Asakura Ryouko
Otaku Collection March 25th, 2008Asakura Ryouko is in the same league as Nagato Yuki, who are both aliens to come over to Earth to watch over Suzumiya Haruhi. She may look like a decent student from the outside, but if you watched the anime, you will know what I mean ^^
I think I do not need to elaborate further on the quality and detail for Max Factory’s Suzumiya Haruhi figure line. They are all just so well-made. There isn’t any clearly seen seam line or defect or anything. Painting is also nicely done. If there’s anything, it will be the posing is a bit on the plain side but it is compensated with a very delicate smile.
Ryouko actually had a changeable hand with the other one carrying a knife, which depicts her other personality in the anime. Unfortunately, at the time of photo taking, the accessory is in the figure box and I had kept it in the deeper part of my cabinet and was unable to take it out. (Can be seen from the promo photo in my photo album though.) Besides, school bag seems more proper for a girl in school uniform.
As with Mikuru, Ryouko also has only one foot attached to the base. With her pose, I don’t think it will give any problem.
Finally, this photo looks familiar in the cover of those typical school girl visual novels.. ^^
Conclusion:
Asakura Ryouko may not be the popular character in the anime, but I simply must get her to complete my collection. And I have no regrets getting her at all. At 4572 yen retail price, it scores high in the value-buy category.

I should probably get this just to finish the set like you did. She’s not really a character I think of when I think of Haruhi, but I know she has her fans.
