Suzumiya Haruhi
Otaku Collection March 21st, 2008My long overdue project. Decided to use the 2 days public holiday to get as many figure shoots as possible. The first of those is none other than Haruhi! Got her during the fourth re-issue. It’s kinda amazing isn’t it? A single figure with four reissues and each one is selling like hot cakes. No wonder the producers are now gunning for a second season of the show. But let’s leave that for another post on another day 
Meet Suzumiya Haruhi, leader of the SOS-dan! She sure looks very lively and energetic. Expected from someone who is ever so eager to meet aliens, time-travellers, etc.. haha..
Haruhi has one hand pointing out and one hand on the waist. Very bossy type of pose don’t you think? 
Colour and detail are good, very true to the character. The face is also good.
Haruhi: “You shall join my SOS club!”
Haruhi: “Oops.. no no.. you shall be my lead actor/actress instead!”
Ya, that’s right.. Haruhi comes in different hand and arm band. One depicts her in her club president post and another one as a movie director. Strangely, her armband is rather hard to remove as it was so tightly fitted into the lower arm part. I was having a hard time removing it.
She comes with a very Haruhi-ism type of base. With her name written there.
Finally, highlights of this figure: she’s Haruhi! 
(sound like a fanboy?)
Conclusion:
The thing about this figure is it’s so well-made and yet the price is cheap. She is priced at only around 3800 yen without shipping. Where else can you find such quality with such price? With such, she deserves a Prim3 Recommended tag. Long live Haruhi!

It seems like such a different time, a figure for 3800 yen?! Wasn’t that long ago, but it sure seems like it.

yeah don’t think we can even find a less than 4k yen figures now. Haruhi was probably the last few cheap figures before the price increase. Prim3, photos looking good ^^

Aw man, seeing this figure again makes me want to purchase one. I’ve been tempted many times, but have so far avoided temptation, but 3800 yen is such a good deal!
