Alter Ritsu 1/8 Scale PVC Figure Loot

Her box is a biggun D:

With a lovely motif of her drums to see in the top as usual with this series of figure x)

I knew that she was costly, and that the amount of work Alter has put into her will be fantastic. BOY was I in for a treat! This is the unboxing and assembly that followed.

Here are the box sizes, to compare. That's right! I have all 5 now, and you know where this is going x)

Jumping around like a little schoolgirl I opened her box and took out the contents.
She contains all her parts in the usual fashion and a folded manual D: Looks like im in for a slog here xP

The manual is very well printed, relying on diagrams, not text so much. Which is good because i can't read kanji xD

Taking out the back part first, it contains two of the drums that attach to her kit, the cymbals and the hi-hat ^^

I had to pause when i took out the snare... Snares have metal stretched underneath the drum to create their unique sound. So does this one D; This 1/8 scale drum.... It's fantastic attention to detail ;D What i've come to expect from Alter after getting Tsumugi's keyboard x)

All the parts from the back of the plastic, laid out ready for assembly. Here's her base too, in keeping with all the other girls, looking like a CD :3

Here's the parts from the main plastic section... The bass drum, kick pedal, another drum and some teeny drumsticks!!

And of course :D :D The star of this thread, Tainaka Ritsu! Or known to her friends as Ricchan x)

Her smile is infectious x) The clothing she's wearing is creased very relistically, and looks flawless as all the other girls' uniforms do :D She comes already sitting on her chair, sort of xP She is not fixed to her chair, and also not to her base either. Neither is the drumkit!

Now i have all the parts laid out. I must say, Ricchan looks very excited :3

When I got the cymbals together, Ricchan is still raring to play x) "はやく、ダニエルくん~" she says x)

And after so much working, being super careful an perfectionist-like... I bring to you figure.fm! The completed model :D She took about 30mins to assemble, i had to be so careful not to snap anything O_O The bars on the kit are about 2mm in diameter D:

It had gone dark by the time i finished, but i got some good shots in x)

And of course! The group shot! The girls are so happy to finally be together, all reunited. Just in time to play Cagayake!GIRLS, as it says on Mugi's keyboard screen :3

Ritsu is an absolutely FANTASTIC figure. The details on her kit are astounding, every piece of "metal" is painted fantastically, and her cymbals gleam with metallic paint. Ritsu's energy is a great accompaniment, really sets the whole lot in motion ^^ And as a band well, they look... dare i say it? Perfect? :3 Yes indeed! Wow, just wow. They put a smile on my face instantly when i see them all! Definitely worth all the money i paid for them!!!
