Oh boy, this Tainaka Ritsu is so $$$! (@@. 9,800 yen before tax is quite a lot. compared to the other Alter K-ON! figures, there isn’t really any special with this figure beside the drum set. I guess the drum set does cost quite a lot.

——Description from Manufacturer—— Sculpted by Sen-u Tanaka Straight from the relaxed atmosphere of Sakuragaoka High School’s light music club comes the club leader with an equally laid back personality – Ritsu Tanaka, aka Rittchan, is here! This figure features a perfect replica of her energetic face and Ritsu is depicted holding both of her sticks up with her feet on her drum pedals – it looks like Houkago Tea Time has just finished another amazing live set! Ritsu’s uniform has been reproduced in meticulous detail – with every wrinkle and fold perfectly sculpted – and he drum set is simultaneously impressive in its size as well as its incredible level of detail! You can feel the excitement of K-On!’s band scenes with this great new addition to Alter’s lineup! |

Her neck is too short here, looks kinda messed up
But when you raise your arms up like that, a school uniform with a blazer would bunch up around the neck area. The neck would look short, yes, but it’s only logical.
I really don’t like this figure of Tainaka Ritsu. Her legs look too far apart. And it’s a shame since the other 4 figures in this set look fantastic.
Well her feet are on the bass and cymbals, so they have to be apart.
dont have any complain. I just need to finish the set lol
All I can say is that’s pricy! I blame it on the drums…
Honestly, they could charge twice as much for this and I would still have to buy it to complete the set.
Saving the most expensive for last. Sketchy business practices, Alter.
this…is…BUSINESS lol. Theyre wise to do that
It is probably a combination of the fact that Ritsu is (arguably) the least popular of the girls as well as the most expensive. I don’t mean that in a negative way against the character, its just that she is usually trailing pretty far behind the other girls on any type of popularity poll.
I don’t think there’s anything sketchy about it, though. The people who just buy one figure probably won’t pick up Ritsu, and it doesn’t make any sense to start out a series with the most complicated and least popular figure. The figma Ritsu came out last and cost the most, too.
Just as planned.
Kinda pricy… but need this figure to complete the set.
shes not my fave =p.. although she looks very cute without her headband on ^-^
