Taito 8" Free! -Eternal Summer-: Haruka Nanase Figure

So I had actually ordered the Tachibana Makoto Taito figure for my friend's birthday and I absolutely loved the whole sailor concept. And once I had seen this adorable Haru in the sailor uniform, I was set on purchasing it. It came when expected (maybe even a bit sooner) and it was packaged so that the figure would not get harmed at all. When you open it, Haru himself is completely assembled. All you have to do is stick him right on his stand. The stand is a clear plastic (nothing fancy, but I mean, we didn't buy it for the stand, right?) and it has "Free!" printed on it. The word is actually backwards unless you look at it from underneath the stand but it hardly bothered me because it is fairly inconspicuous.The figure itself is immaculate. He looks just like Nanase Haruka from the anime. The clothes look amazing and the shading was done well. I believe the shadows had a blue tint but oh well! Still looks good!Overall 5 stars! Absolutely loved it!Also: I believe this is the same figure Dan (Danisnotonfire) had in his Japan haul video??

Haru is so handsome! This is a great figure of him and is very much worth the price! It was shipped the day after I ordered it and it only took about three weeks to arrive, which isn't that bad considering how far away I live from Japan. I would definitely recommend this for any Free! fan!

He arrived today. Such fast delivery. Faster than I expected. He is amazing looking. I love the detail. The box was a little damaged but that's ok. I am very pleased with this figure. Been wanting it for a while now. I will definitely get Makato as well. This figure blew my mind at how well he was made. <3

I love this figure of Haru! It’s so cute and the quality and sculpting is very good! The paint job is alright, but it’s still a nice figure. 8/10 would recommend!

Figure comes in great condition! It comes in at a height of about 6.5 inch (16.51 cm), including the stand height. The paint job and sculpting are both 5/5 with the only "bad" part about the paint job being that the gold on the buttons on the front are a tad off, but not really noticeable unless viewing it up really close. The eyes and face actually look like the character! Also shipping is done quickly (mine arrived a week early even), and it was well taken care of and arrived in a ton of bubble wrap to ensure its safe arrival.Also this is apparently a rare figure, with it being a game prize or something (a friend informed me).

Purchased: Mar. 9. 2016.Expected Arrival: Apr. 26. 2016Actual Arrival: Mar. 30. 2016.I am overall pleased with this Haru Figure.There were little to no paint errors. The details were outstanding. There were no mis-shapen hair strands or shirt faults. The details on his hat with the dolphin were spot on and perfect. Just A Lovely Figure!(Disclaimer: This might not happen if you make the purchase) For me, he came a few weeks earlier than expected which was very nice because first I got Makoto and I wanted to get Haru right away and give Makoto a friend to stand with. Also I wanted the set.I would recommend my friends in getting this because of what i got and how happy they turned out to be. (I would Reckon the Set rather than just Haruka)Well worth all my money!

I’m giving it 4 stars because Haru isn’t really 8 inches tall, and the logo is backwards, I knew that when purchasing this though. The package is nice and not damaged at all and it came a couple days early. The paint job looks really nice too. I was worried the shading may be blue from what I’ve seen from other reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised that it’s not! Overall a good purchase

He came safely in his original box with no damages. he arrived within the estimated time and he's already put together, just stick him on his stand and he's good to go. the figure itself is perfect, no problems at all. plus we goes so well with my makoto! very pleased with him, if you've been considering getting him, I'd say go for it :3
