The Merchandise of Haruhi Suzumiya (Figurines, Artbooks, OSTs, etc.)

[Vexx]

I take it no one has spotted any figurines outside of the "basically unavailable" garage kit photos wandering the net? Not a word out of cdjapan, hlj, e2046, or my other sources yet.

[npal]

No. I've subscripted to cdjapan for any anime releases, and check hlj occassionally but nothing so far... Damn... My Mikuru figure

Oh nice, I'd really like to how Yuki's (Chihara Minori) singing really sounds like. (Her voice isn't that distinct when singing with the other two girls in Hare Hare Yukai, unlike Goto Yuko's voice. ) I don't supposed it'll be mechanized deadpan singing.

[C.A.]

Well Hirano Aya and Yuko Goto's voices are sopranos and Chihara Minori is more Alto compared to them.

During most parts in Hare Hare Yukai, Chihara Minori is providing harmony between the 2 sopranos. Hirano Aya and Yuko Goto are the main singers while Chihara Minori enhances their voices.

[Sushi-Y]

Might as well list the image song single in the same format:

Suzumiya Haruhi no Tsumeawase - TV Anime "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu" Insert Song Single

1. God knows...
2. Lost my music
3. Koi no Mikuru Densetsu

--------------
(that jacket is spoiler )

First of all, after hearing the full version of "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu", I can say that it alone is worth the purchase. Really, that "T-O-B-で~ 株を買い占め" part kills me every time I hear it.

Oh yeah, some goods are listed up at Kyoani's official Haruhi site:
http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/haruhi/goods/index.html

B, bloomer Yuki...
...we can't get it.

Also, an official fanbook seems to be in the works:
http://www.7andy.jp/books/detail?accd=R0198991

Apparantely, it'll feature illustrations from both the original novel and the anime, plus original drawings, as well as fanarts from other popular artists.

I play SOS Bullet Now
It's OMG Good^^

[Varion]

Hmm, looks like we might have an 'official' version of how to do the Hare Hare Yukai now The LE of the first DVD (dunno about the regular version) comes with a little booklet with all the steps, including screenshots from the ED and cute pencil sketches for every step with some kanji at the side I can't read... cool extra anyway.

Haven't actually watched it yet though, but YesAsia are god. Shipped on the 22nd and I got it today, and postage was free too. Sure everyone's seen the cover by now but here it is anyway.

SNAP. Got mine today too from Yesasia having shipped on the 22nd. I didn't check the booklet thing properly but I didn't think it had all the steps to the dance.

Also I think it was Sushi-Y that mentioned some rumours earlier about there being a director's cut of Asahina Mikuru Bouken ep 00 but having checked it, it seems that's not the case unfourtunately.

No? Bah... I haven't watched it yet but was looking forward to doing so, oh well. It looked like all the steps to me, there's pages and pages of it But then again I can't read it so who knows.

And =O at Haruhi corner.

[Zappster]

Well it's certainly not a 40 minute long director's cut version as was rumoured earlier, unless I am doing something wrong. Playing the episode the actual running time was about 27 minutes and I didn't really check through it all just had a quick peek at a couple of sections, so I don't know if they really added any new scenes to it.

Yeah I just did the same. What a shame

[relentlessflame]

Incidentally, since someone will inevitably ask and it doesn't look like it's already been confirmed here yet, that second CD does indeed contain the soundtrack for episode 0, so I think it's safe to assume that (like Shuffle, Nanoha, and a bunch of other shows), the LE DVDs will be the way to go if you want to get the soundtrack. "Will there be an OST CD someday?" Maybe, maybe not.

.... has me wondering if the "scenes cut from the original tv broadcast" are actually meaningful bits of plot or not.

[IchiKyo]
