Otaku’s Hideout

This is by far the best 1/4 Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi figure from FREEing in my opinion. The other ones doesn’t really stand out as much as this one. (Although Tsuruya Bunny Version from FREEing does look extremely striking as well). Just look at her costume, her fish net, her moe-ness, her smile and of course, her size! (She is 1/4 scaled! So she will have a height of 25cm even when sitting!) She will be out in August 2008 at a retail price of 11238 yen (~USD 107). If only she can be priced at half of that

VERDICT: WANT! But no money

Disclaimer: This figure had not been released, nor do I own her.

There are just too many figures released today that caught my eyes. The second one is Tenkokuugen from FREEing. I had always associated FREEing with large scale 1/4 figures of Haruhi. Feel a bit weird seeing them with figures from other series. Anyway, this one look very decently done. Very nice colour mix. And that mask: nice! (maybe nice for me since I don’t know this series much). She will be out in September 2008 at 8800 yen. The steep price may drive many except her fans away.
