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

Which one's the Alter Haruhi figure?

[Mungo0]

This is the Alter Haruhi figure -

The only shop that I could find it being in stock was Yesasia.com, for a whopping $109. (Free international shipping, but still.)

My proxy was able to quote me a figure of 5050 yen though, or $55. Even when factoring in shipping (This includes other figmas, and was Airmail) I paid just over half of what it would have cost me to get it from Yesasia.

[jin jin5000]

the shipment of book 1,2,3 translated came in on the 21st.
I expected it on July 5th..but whatever... its good because it came fast right?
---
The translation were pretty good and tried to make it stay like original... no changing around words like "kappa" to some "green monsterthing"
its nicely done ect

Little updates for today. Firstly, today the August issue of "The Sneaker" went on sale as well as two commemorative editions to celebrate the 100th issue entitled S Red and S Blue. On the cover of S Blue is another Ito-sensei drawing of Haruhi:


There are two stores that are offering special presents with this issue: Animate, who is offering an old postcard with Haruhi and Kyon's sister as well as Toranoana, who is offering the following illustrated card:


Tora is also offering a special 4 page booklet with various series illustrations in it for the August Sneaker.

Secondly, Amazon has put up their listings for Figma Young Haruhi and Spring/Summer Illustrations artbook. The figure comes out on September 25th and the book comes out the 29th of July.

Sorry for the double-post but we have some BIG NEWS!



On October 22nd for 39,900 yen, Haruhi will be released on Blu-Ray in a "Complete Box"! This set will include all 28 episodes and BOTH concerts. A great number of bonus footage is planned.

2nd Edit: It's now up on Chara-ani.

3rd Edit: Sofmap and HMV have it available as well. Item is KAXA2000 according to HMV's listing.

4th: Amazon Japan just put their listing at 29,526 yen.

Edit: Also in BD news, Amazon updated their image of the Haruhi-chan BD-Box to the following:

@ultimatemegax:
Thank you for always finding the news^^.

I'm really looking forward to this box and I hope that they add subtitles, then it would be perfect^^.

[Ithekro]

And Kyon is the only one disturbed by the gaint statue of Haruhi-chan.

I wonder how the box looks though. That is a very steep price, but I can see how it would be worth it for people who don't have the DVDs yet. I don't like the fact that the episodes have been arranged chronologically. I personally preferred the season in the way it was shown on TV, but that's probably just me. Are there any extras in the form of postcards or anything like that?

Well, at least I've finished off my Haruhi figma/figure collection.

No art has been released for the TV series box. The price is less than most expected with Kanon and Clannad being 62,500 yen each with only 24 episodes. I myself was guessing closer to 55,000 yen for the set with only the episodes.

I know most people (especially in NA) don't like the chronological order, but that's the way it was aired in the 2009 showing (which is what this set is based from) and it allows the new episodes to be inserted normally compared to a jumbled mess.

No additional information on the set itself has been released. The only additional good that's been released is a special telephone card if you purchase it from the Japanese side of HMV.

Edit: Amazon's put up the cover art for the special "Taniguchi Goes!" DVD:

The K-On! "Don't Say Lazy" style figures that Kyoto Animation are producing are 8000 yen apiece. It would be safe to assume this figure would be the same price. You could contact a middleperson in Japan and ask them to get the figure for you from their store as well.

The figure is from the movie which uses the 2009 copyright, thus that's why the image has 2009 on it. This site was created in the evening of 7/7/10 in Japan, so it's very recent.

I am referring to the Kyoto Animation site that was made to detail the progress of the Yuki figure. It was publicly revealed on the evening of the 7th, less than 36 hours ago.
