As you can see, I got hold of 2 recently released figures, Soniko Valentine Version from Orchid Seed and Suzumiya Haruhi Gekisou Version from Max Factory. The Haruhi was actually collected a few days ago, while the Soniko was collected earlier today at La Tendo Store. Thank you again Panther, for helping me get the Soniko at membership price ^^ Soniko is one of the few figures that I share in common with Panther (he also ordered one too!). I usually prefer moe figures, while Panther gets the more elegant and “cough” erotic ones :P Sorry for the poor photos, didn’t have good lighting at that moment and couldn’t wait to take pictures of these lovely girls. Both figures look great, especially Haruhi. Kudos to Max Factory, even Haruhi’s box is awesome; the box is shiny with metallic colours and designed beautifully on every side. Have a look at the photos to see what I mean.

Now, a closer look at Sonico’s box. Nothing special, just Delicious Cake inside :d

Will be doing reviews or photo shoots of both figures, but definitely not a garden shoot again. Both figures are beautiful, but do not seem to fit the garden theme. Soniko, for *cough* obvious reasons and Haruhi is too awesome for the garden! Guess I am left with indoor photography for convenience; need to get proper lighting and backdrop though :3 Any suggestions or tips for shooting these 2 bishoujos?
