After waiting a while to get this figure I am truly happy to see it arrive in great shape. I love all the extra books that it comes with along with the extra guitar, very well made. This figure deserves to be one of the top figures of the year and is also my top ten figures of all time! :)

Yuki Nagato is one of my all time favorite characters, i have almost all of her figurines and would spend almost any amount of money to get more. This figurine was excellent, i loved everything about it, my wife says that my cat came a little bit "pink" and i suppose i agree with her but thats not what this figurine is about, its all about yuki, Thank you so much for making her for me, i love it.

Personally, I don't have much interest in this figure. However on the day it arrived, it's totally change my mind. I believe partly is becos Gathering have done a good painted job plus they provided a lots of extra item. my only complaint is that the skin tone are little bit to white..but overall great item.Thanks

The packaging is excellent as usual. In fact, they are so well packaged that I have to examine it in detail to ensure that I did not miss out any of the decorative books!
The paint job looks good as usual. The only minus point is that the collar broke off, revealing a small gap when placed between the head and body.
Overall, happy with the purchase, and I look forward to the day when the pre-painted Haruhi bunny figurine will be sold again!

This is my first order at E2046, I also have very high expectation from this site.
I ordered this pre-painted figure on 13 February, and got I today.
The packaging was covered by layers of bubbled plastic, that's make the box seemed big Very Happy. The foam inside is very carefully packed, I'm very impressed with this.
The first item I unpack is the wooden base, the quality is very high in my standard. Smile
The books, guitar, and cat are very detailed, The guitars look impressive. There's the strings! I have to say that, the best part of this figure is the guitars! Both white and blue.
Now continue with the rest, Yuki in wizard cosplay should looks awesome.
unwrap Yuki head, and body.
But.....there's one problem.
The collar already broke Sad
Here are the pictures:

As you can see, when I put the collar back in to place, the white crack still visible. It does really affect the whole look of the figure on the left side TT. I checked the other's responds, they seemed to be fine. I think I'm unlucky. T-T
But if I ignore it, this is the ultimate Yuki statue! This is what I work for! I saved the whole month money to buy this! I do appreciate it.
Conclusion:
Really fast delivery, with great customer service when I got payment issue.
"Perfect if there's no defective" 90/100 (-10 from defect)
I will looking forward for the even better figurines.
Thank you.

After getting a Haruhi http://www.e2046.com/product_info.php?products_id=6369
I had to get the other members.
Like everything from e2046 i've gotten. Everything came fast without any problems. It didn't dawn on me how large this Gathering product would be until i picked up a really large package from the post office.
All I wish is Gathering had a Mikuru Asahina figure so I could make a trio.
2008-01-14
Quite a long time before I post my feedback... I get it for more than 6 months now and I am still every day impressed by the quality of this batch. I also own an PF3408 Haruhi and two of them are perfects. For example guitars from the both are for me masterpieces alone. The PF3408 Haruhi is just (I suppose) most known due to the episode #12 anthology scene, but this Yuki Nagato comes with a lot of additions and details.
What was my surprise when I get back to the PF3821 1/7 Yuki Nagato main page, there is still 04 pieces available!!! If you love the Suzumiya serie you must own of them.
I hope the season 2 of Suzumiya will provide new anthology scenes to let you create new incredible gathering products like the ones you already made.
2008-01-09
This one came packaged with my other one from earlier, but still a different order. I love Yuki, she is my favorite character from Melancholy, and I'm very pleased with the boxing, the presentation, and work on the figure. Thank you guys so much for this, you have made a member of the Armed Forces very, very happy today.

This is my first painted figure from the Gathering series. I just received this figure in the mail, and I am very pleased. The staff was very helpful and prompt in addressing my concerns during the shipment process. The article came well packaged, and in a timely manner.
The figure itself is amazing. The detail of the face, clothes, guitar, and props were nothing short of what I had expected. The paint job was very clean and professional, bringing out a realistic portrayal of Yuki. The extra props included as a 'surprise' by e2046 were a great addition as well. All in all, I am a very satisfied customer and I recommend the Gathering series to anyone reading this review.
Thank you!

I'd wanted one of these since I saw it behind glass somewhere in the bowels of Akihabara this summer with an out of reach price tag. And from what I remember, I think e2046's is better in fact.
This is just adorable! As my first resin figure (haven't much talent or time to make one myself), I have to say it's a huge step up in detail from PVC figures.
Overall the paint job is professionally done. The skin shading is subtle, not overdone. (Can't wait to look at it tomorrow in daylight!) The hair especially looks better than in the pictures, not just a purple mass, though without the hat the joint at the top is more noticeable than one would like but covered well by the hat. And the eyes–the hardest part—are extremely well done. She's got this lost in thought, distant gaze that isn't quite in character but nicely suited for a figure. Nothing has that overly glossy finish that gives a very plasticky appearance, though maybe the guitar could be shinier. It seems the original ones had shiny metallic guitar parts, but the guitar as a whole is very neatly done, quite a bit more than others I've seen. Nothing broken off here. The cat could be a bit more interestingly colored, but I suppose this way it doesn't distract from Yuuki. The books are a really nice touch; stands out among my other figures that are just figure and stand. I dunno what to do with the extra guitar though, it's not like you can switch them ... I'm sure I'll think of something ...
Once you figure out how the hat goes on, it stays in place. Unless of course you bump it, or the table shakes more than a little. I guess that might be a problem in you live in a place like Tokyo. I guess just it should be put somewhere where the hat wouldn't fall too far if it fell.
There is one thing that seems to have escaped attention. The books are actually ones that showed up in the anime (not sure if they're in the novels, just starting my way through them). And you guys even copied the funky upside-down kanji on 誘拐症候群! But there's a little typo: ぼくの大好きな青髭 is written ばくの大好きな青髭. It's so tiny I didn't notice for a while, but then I was thinking, what is ばく? Anyway, just a heads up.
All in all, very satisfied with this. So worth the wait, thanks!
Would love to see how this would look next to the black bunny suit Haruhi (PF3408) hint hint ^_^
2007-09-17
A very well made figure with noticeable improvements over the earlier Gathering products I've received in terms of overall quality.
There were two extras on this one - an additional guitar in an alternate color and some books. The books complement the figure nicely when you display Yuki by herself. I find them a bit out of place though when you place Yuki besides "PF3408 1/7 Suzumiya Haruhi", as they were supposedly playing in a concert at that time in the story. On the other hand, the additional guitar, albeit of a different color, makes for a nice spare
The packaging on the Gathering figures has continued to improve. This figure in particular paid a lot of attention to protecting the individual pieces - even the books each had separate compartments in the styrofoam container.
Worth noting about the figure is that the head is detached. It would need to be glued on to support the weight of the hat (the head and hat would fall off otherwise). For most cases, gluing this on isn't an issue - however, it also prevents the item from being put back inside the box (e.g. when moving).
Something I'd like to note as well is that though the Gathering version of the eyes are very well pained, I still prefer how the eyes looked like on the original kit's stock photos.
In conclusion, this is yet another great product from the Gathering line well worth a spot in one's collection.
2007-09-15
Is very glad to receive this figure, it is insulting just some small parts, were not kept on a guitar, probably during delivery. Other great!
Ill wait for new figuries!
2007-09-03
The figurine came 2 weeks ago, the shipping was FAST! Item was sent out on the 15th and it reached Singapore on the 16th! The overall paint quality is fantastic, definitely worth the wait and the money. Can't wait for more Gathering products!
2007-08-30
I just got the figure last Friday. When I opened the box and put her next to the Space suite Yuki Nagato...I could help to admire the wonderful detail of her hair. And the paint was done beautifully, a job well done....never did dissappoint me Keep up the good work!
2007-08-21
Excellent! Pre-order waiting time was not long and the shipment was done quickly (only 2days to France)! Yuki came in perfect condition, nothing is broken, everything is well protected! The quality of the resin kit is marvelous! It is worth the price! Details are amazing! This is my first resin kit purchase and it won't be the last! You do an excellent job e2046!
2007-08-20
I ordered two, both arrived safe and in perfect condition. Perfect paintjob. It´s amazing, better than any PVC figure.
2007-08-17
Received the figure yesterday, excellent work! Much attention was paid to all the little details, giving it a much sharper and more realistic look than PVC figures could possibly offer. IMHO, the price is well worth it. The only flaw is that one of the guitar knobs had broken off (as others have reported), but the joints in that part are incredibly thin, so minor damage during transport probably can't be avoided, and it doesn't really affect the looks. Shipment was very fast, a liitle more than one week to Europe.
2007-08-03
Finally my third gathering arrived, as the others, in perfect conditions. About the work... excellent
2007-07-27
Pretty figure. I am still impressed by his beauty.
A great cheer for the team of E2046.
Thank you and with soon
Afflicted for my English (^^')

So my Yuki came in the mail early this month, and I'm glad I added this kit to my Haruhi collection. Now if they would only sculpt a maid Mikuru with an instrument... XD
Got a little carried off. About this kit, the sculpting is done beautifully. I preferred the facial expression of the other Yuki since it resembles her personality, but nevertheless this is an excellent kit. Packaging was great this time around, there were no broken pieces and all the parts arrived in good condition. The Kanji on the book covers are a little weird if you know how to read Kanji, but they add a lot of character to the kit.
The painting is awesome compared to the other identical Yuki kits I have seen in stores, which had too much red applied on the cheeks and thights. Lovely kit overall, and I would definitly recommend this kit if you have a collection of Haruhi / Yuki kits or plan on starting one ^^.
2007-07-23
Just recieved this today and everything is in fantastic shape. No issues with fitments and no broken parts. The paint job is, as usual, superb. It's another outstanding gathering model.
2007-07-23
Very nicely done figure, very happy with how it turned out. I like how the guitars actually have strings attached to them. One of the guitars did have 2 broken tuning knobs on them ohwell. Other then that everything looks great.
2007-07-21
Another superb Gathering figure. Arrived quickly after being shipped, and the packaging was extremely secure. The detail and shading of the paint job is just as good as the first Bubba Yuki pre-painted figure, down to the fingernails and guitar details. I was also impressed with the work done to put "strings" on the guitars, and the small tuning knobs. I had zero issues getting her head attached, fortunately.
As other people mentioned, it is difficult to get her hat placed and balanced so it doesn't slip off. Mine doesn't seem to want to stay on when I try and place it like in the example images. But this is a minor quibble since it's not like I'm ever going to move the figure around other than to turn it, or the occational dusting.
Very happy with the purchase, I definitely feel I got what I paid for...keep up the good work!
2007-07-20
This is the 2nd item that I ordered from e2046. The item was packed very well and safety. There are no broken part at my figure and it is quite nice and detail on the figure.
Last time I had ordered the first batch of PF3408 1/7 Suzumiya Haruhi (Pre-painted). It is also very nice with great details (that is the reason I continue purchasing Yuki Nagato from e2046.) After a few months, e2046 produced another PF3408 1/7 Suzumiya Haruhi (Pre-painted) with black bunny ears version. I like that version more but unfortunately I had purchased yellow ear version so I just can accept it.
E2046 is getting much more better now and improve a lot compare with 1st and 2nd items that I bought. I will keep supporting e2046 and recommend it to all my friends. Thank you e2046~~
2007-07-20
This is the first order I have ever made from E2046. I was a bit skeptical at how the preview pictures were shown. Since they were really well done of the figure and I assumed that products don't often look like the pictures people would be advertising.
How wrong I was.
It was very much a beautiful figure. I received it several days ago but kept it in the package until today. Easy and readily assembled with every detail filled out with love and care. I was shocked to see how hand crafted a figure could be. I was ecstatic at every little detail. From the magician hat to the guitars. Thumbs up to the artist who crafted this masterpiece. I am very satisfied on my first purchase of this memorial figure.
Also I would like to say that the customer service was very prompt with questions and issues during the ordeal, thanks again Issac for the help.
Thank you again
2007-07-18
My latest purchase finally got back to me today from the place I had order it for me. And since now I have both the Witch Hat Yuki and Space Yuki I must say that I'm on cloud nine!
Both packages arrived in pristine condition, and there was no hint of damage to either statue, they are both perfect! The painting on both of them, especially Witch Hat Yuki, is amazing and well worth every bit of the price.
I did notice that some people said that the head and base of Space Yuki were sources of problems, but I'm happy to report that the head on mine secured very well, and while at first her right foot hovered a bit above the base, it has since corrected itself, and now everything is 100%. The seem on the arm was not as noticable as many people had said it was, at least on the front.
Witch Hat Yuki is perfect, I cannot say much more than that, she's lovely and amazing, and I'm happy to have her.
I've made four purchases from The Gathering series, all of them being the Bubba sculpts, and now the family is complete - at least until he makes more - I would recommend anyone that wants a quality product but lacks the time and skill to do a professional job themselves look at The Gathering series, not once have I been disappointed with the results of my purchases, and the e2046 staff was both prompt and more than happy to answer any questions I had. All four statues sit proudly in my room in the display case above my t.v.
Now all I have to hope for is for Bubba to do a Ryoko Asakura sculpture, and for it to become part of The Gathering series. But until then I wish everyone at e2046 the best of luck. Please keep up the excellent work!
2007-07-18
This is by far one of the best pre-painted figures offered by E2046. The paint job is simply flawless. I'm having some trouble with Yuki's hat slipping off, but I have yet to find any huge faults with this figure. A must have for all Nagato Yuki fans.
2007-07-17
This is my third purchase from E2046, and I'm still getting impressed by the quality of the figures.
The only things I have to complain about are Yuki's head and her hat. Firstly, when I tried the fit her head into her body (okay, that sounds wrong), it didnt fit. After fiddling with it for 15 minutes, I finally got her head into the slot. The problem was probably because of the stick being crooked. Secondly, her hat can hardly stay on her head. It is okay though, since I dont move the figure around.
Good job +1.
Alex
PS: Good customer service too. Good job +2.
2007-07-16
Yeah!!!
Finally gt my handz on 1 kekeke
It came in very well protected
Almost zero flawz yoz
Cool stuff... The bookz N da guitar made the atmosphere of the figure better den ever, made me rmb da concert in the anime.
Went to jp b4 tiz, the big big upside down pyramid convention hall but mizzed the Winterfest... [Sad...]
Swore myself to get 1 no matter wat it takez since den...
Yuki Rockz ;D
2007-07-16
Thanks guys, another flawless kit from e2046. Enough said =)
PS. Wow! Super quick delivery time too! Sent out from the workshop on 9/7/07 and arrived at my door step in excellent condition on 11/7/07.
2007-07-14
This was one of my most highly anticipated kits for me. Even since it sold out at Wonderfest (and I was in line, freezing to death when it happened), I relished in the opportunity to buy it pre-painted from Gathering.
It came very well protected. e2046 is getting better and better at protecting what is undoubtedly extremely fragile goods. Customs opened the box and rather viciously slashed up the box, but the statue itself is undamaged luckily. The painting itself is top notch as usual. There are spots of roughness in the paint. The hair on my Yuki where the two parts join together to form the full head of hair has some ugly white streaks in between where it was glued. But it can be covered up, I suppose that's what her hat is for...
The extra guitar wasn't really necessary, but it's a good touch. I love the wires on the guitars. Makes me want to strum it.
Books everywhere in various piles, some half and fully opened too. Nice touch that adds a lot to the diorama. The book titles are all in Chinese though. Might have been more in character if it were Japanese writing.
All in all, impressive as usual. Mikuru or Tsuruya next please!
2007-07-11
Amazing!! The package is the best as always even it was kept by the customs for a week. I paid the charge of customs fees but I think that it's not e2046 mistake. The customs is always disturbing (I never understand what and how are they doing for their work ) T^T
About the figure, how to say!! Everything is above my expectation. Every parts of the figure and bonus parts are excellent. Very beautiful work. The only thing that I think I don't so like on the figure is her mouth because it's just look like a hole that made by a pin. Otherthings except this is perfect for me. Yuki is so cute as she is in animation.
The two tuners of the guitar were broken but they are easily fixed, so no problem about this at all. This figure is very valuable for money.
Love this figure as always. Gathering & E2046 is the best all around the world.
Thanks once again ^_^
2007-07-11
Figure arrvied in Australia nice and quick (posted 9th July arrived 11th) with the outside of the box well protected. The packaging of the box was well done. I was rather pleased with my first Gathering figurine both in painting and general finish. The only minor problem was that one of the guitar tuners was broken off but it was still in the plastic wrapping and was easily stuck back on. As other feedback has stated the hat is a little awkward to get to stay sitting in place without falling off.
2007-07-11
Just received what I consider to be one of the cutest Yuki resins ever. Excellent painting as usual from E2046, especially for all the details on the miscellaneous stuff that comes with Yuki; even the cat is very well done, and I can read the title on the book! The only damage to the kit was on the guitar held by her: two of the tuning keys broke off, though they were easily found in the box. A couple of dabs of epoxy later and it's good as new. Thankfully, her extra guitar came through perfectly fine. Kudos again to the E2046 crew, and here's to more Yuki kits!
2007-07-11
I recieved my wonderful Gathering box (I love the black packaging as opposed to the usual windowed boxes figures come in) in a very short time after it was sent (which is quite rare for anyone getting shipments sent to NZ) and was very pleased with the final result.
The Gathering extras were great, and the base surprised me with how solid it was. It looks great next to my Bunny-suit Haruhi
If I had any small complaints it would be that Yuki's witch hat doesn't fit onto her head that snuggly and is easy to knock out of place. But if you're not moving it about much, it shouldn't be a problem.
2007-07-10
Received my Yuki figure few days ago.
Nothing's broken, and the face looks much better than I thought. I was a bit worried after seeing pictures of the real e2046's product, but I'm relieved ^^;
The extra guitar I've got is blue, not really a nice choice of color IMO, but that the only "issue" I have to notice.
2007-07-10
received my Yuki today (won at June Lucky Draw, thanks again e2046 ).
One more time no broken parts and she looks beautiful.
The eyes look much better compared to the first gathering pictures we saw, congratulations you improved that !
(i still had issues with EMS service/customs in my country, apparently they want an invoice on the package )
thanks again
2007-07-04
Box was packaged with many layer of bubbler wrap. No damage were visible under inspection. All the nice cut outs in the form protected the parts well. Nothing was loose or broken from Hong Kong to east coast North America.
The figure itself is well paint. The addition of the books and the relevant book titles is a nice touch. The use of a different guitar strings compare to the Haruhi bunny girl proven to be a good change because the strings are not nearly as loose as the metal wires used before. The additional blue guitar though IMO useless still is nice to have around even if just to play around. =). The only thing I can say that's slightly negative was Yuki's hat. There doesn't seem to have a very secure way of putting the hat on Yuki. It's nice to be able to post Yuki with or without the hat. But without a secure fitment of the hat on Yuki's head, it just doesn't feel safe to have the hat loosely stay on Yuki' head.
But overall another nice job e2046.
2007-07-03
Once again, very secure packaging from e2046 and a lovely box design. After opening the box, I discovered Yuki's right leg had broke and there was some paint transfer while it was moving around in there also, two of the tuners on the head of the guitar had snapped off. The leg broke in a good spot, the point where the sock meets the skin, and was a clean break, so it was easy to glue back in and the tuners were easily glued back into place as well. Overall, wonderful paint and construction job. I noticed there was different material used as the strings for the guitar, looks great. The hat worries me alittle, I doubt its on there securely, feels like one bump could make it fall off but all in all, I'm pretty happy with this one as she sits next to PF3408 1/7 Suzumiya Haruhi.
