Otaku’s Hideout

Apparently, another company has decided to join the fun in producing similarly posed Beat Blades Haruka figures. This time it’s Volks. Their Haruka and Narika figures, judging from the photos, look very much alike Alter/Kotobukiya ones. (With some difference of course). Personally, I like Haruka from Volks. Her face looks much better. And her hair part feels nicer than Alter’s, which looks a bit weird. As for Narika, I also feel this one is much better than Kotobukiya’s (me not much of a Narika fan). Anyway, I can only really judge after a proper photo of her is up.

Ok now for the fun part. In my previous post, we have Takamori Haruka from Alter. In this post we have Sennin Haruka from Kotobukiya. Even though they share different name, they are actually the same character! With the very same pose! I have no idea what these two companies are trying to achieve. Releasing same posed figures at almost the same time. Killing off each other maybe? But I tend to like Alter’s ver better. This Haruka looks a little too pale. And of course, Alter has got the better reputation for quality. She shall hit the streets in July 2008 at 5800 yen.

Verdict: NOT MINE!

Disclaimer: This figure has not been released, nor do I own her.

Been so busy at work lately that I have not even the time to visit my own blog. -.-”

Let’s start off with Haruka from the eroge game “Beat Blades Haruka”. She is looking gorgeous in this form. People may be concerned whether any possibility of leaning? But I have got pretty good confidence with Alter. The legs in my opinion will be reinforced with sturdy plastic/metal. She shall hit the streets in September 2008 at 6800 yen.

Verdict: MINE!

Disclaimer: This figure has not been released, nor do I own her.
