Anyone know when the Oyashiro Edition of Volume 5 of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei will be up for preorder online?

I honestly am not sure what to make of this. Looks like some kind of grenade to me

Your last moments in life... looking at 'killer lolis' in swimsuits...

Tear gas grenade

Seems to be a cooler bottle. Fill it with water or what have you, and the metal container keeps the contents cooler. It says it can hold half a liter and works in 0-80 Celsius.


Still, I wish they could have chosen a better design to slap on a Higurashi bottle.

Back to the little Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Portable figures, if anyone has a spare Rika (doesn't matter which version), I would like to trade for one of my spare Marker Mions or Take-Home-Eyes Rena. I can't even find an auction of a Rika seperately. (this is for my friend who got a set and didn't get a Rika, and I didn't get a spare Rika either).

I don't know if you checked eBay yet, but there's a person that sells the figures individually if you search with the keywords 'Higurashi gashapon'.

[y0shi]

A friend of mine, shes totally into kei, so are there any figures or anything with him ?

Thanks^^

[Fychan]

I should have pre-ordered Yujin gashapon box from HLJ... I have the ones that came with Daybreak Portable, so I really wanted to complete the collection... Oh well. I think I'll buy the ones I want from eBay =p

As for Rena DX, be carefull then buying yours. There are many selling on ebay for a very low price, and the seller is from Hong Kong, so chances are she was bootleged. But only the oyashiro version, it seems.

We found one, and purchased the Rika seperately! She's expensive, but worth it to my friend to complete her set.

Anyhow, to add more content to the thread, I won a box of Higurashi trading figures by Spring on Yahoo! Japan a while ago. While I was wary of Spring's notoriously poor quality (the Shion figure I have is pretty terrible), the price of just over 1000 yen made the purchase worth it.

I was lucky enough to get 10 different figures, so yay for me (Sometimes these figure boxes are packed more randomly than that).

The box:



I'll put the rest of the images behind a spoiler tags this time~.

Spoiler for Rika, Satoko, Shion:

Spoiler for Rena, Cleaver Rena:

Spoiler for K1 (bat), K1 (golf club):

Spoiler for The Mion Army <3 <3:

Seriously, I got three Mions! How awesome is that? Super awesome, that's what!

Overall, the figures look nice. For the price I paid, I'm really happy with my purchase. They're a good size.

Sadly, they look kind of dirty thanks to the paint job, the pieces can be difficult to put together (Shion's arms, Rena's heads keep falling off - yes, both of them), and they do seem to have some color transfer issues (so can't store them in a box together, need to separate pieces by color). There are also lots of removable parts, so I can see them getting lost easily if they fall and break apart. =/

Still for this price, I'm very happy! (Especially now that I have TWO K1s!)

Bonus:

Spoiler for All my Higurashi figures!:

There are 34 of them. 34. WHY DID I HAVE TO COUNT THEM.
I need a Miyo figure NOW. ><;

[becky-chan]

nice army Mint Kashiro!It saddens me,though,that most of the higurashi figures are all cutesy chibis,i would love to have more serious higurashi figurines~
not to say i don't think the chibis are freaking adorable ^_^

[AudriSampson]

Out of curisosity whats the deal with the clear Mion??

[Mistypearl]

OH MY GOD It's an army! o__o *fanspasms* Haha anyway

Usually in those blind boxed figure type deals they will have a 'rare' version of one of the figures, like clear or gold. It's supposed to be good that you got one since it is 'rare' but really I think it's an excuse not to give it a paint job.

Does anyone know where you can find/buy the figurines of Hanyuu and Rika in their sun dresses or any Higurashi figurines that aren't chibi or of the girls in swimsuits?

sun dresses are here,just search "higurashi":http://www.hlj.com
and ebay usually has some,if you type in "rena ryugu" you can find Oyashiro-mode Rena

[Mint Kashiro]

Yeah, the clear Mion is supposed to be 'rare', and she does appear to be made of a different kind of plastic than the others - she's a bit softer. I've decided to store her away because she isn't very attractive, and that plastic won't look very nice when it yellows (and it'll probably do so quickly while on display. Don't know how de-yellowing methods would work on that kind of plastic, either).

A lot of the reasoning for the chibi figures has to do with Ryukishi07's art style, at least with the older sets. My 'Welcome to Hinamizawa', Max Factory Collect 800, and Spring Higurashi Figure Collection sets are all based on the computer novel's art, so they're going to look like that. X3

Sadly, most of the serious, non-fanservice type figures are out of my budget. I just can't bring myself to spend upwards of $70 on a single figure anymore. I do wish they would do some revoltech or figmas of the characters though, I'd be all over that!

The only figure I would think of paying those high prices for would be if someone were to actually make a detailed figure of Takano Miyo in her black uniform (preferably with her gun). Sadly the only Miyo stuff I've seen is a little keychain that I'll probably never get my hands on, and a discontinued trading figure I've never seen anywhere (except sold out on hlj) Okay, so YesAsia has it, but I'm not paying $125 USD for a box >>. *goes to stalk yahoo japan*

Edit: Well, that was easier than I thought. 2200 yen for a set that has all the basic and all the rare versions (the fullset of all the basic, all the rare and all the clear versions was over 10000 yen though). I'll take what I want and ship the rest off to my boyfriend, I suppose. The set with all the basic versions is under 1000 yen.

[Elerie]

Hau~ I really wish I had the money to buy these figures...they're all so cute.
Not to mention the plush dolls, keychains, mug, etc. Ugh, there's too much Higurashi stuff that I want D8.
But the problem is that even if I did have the money, half of them are sold out or discontinued.

[kairi10116]

I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but does anyone know where to get this Rena plush through an import website?

[Kishin]

Does anyone know where to get this Hanyuu figure? I havn't been able to find a website that sells it or any other hanyuu figures other than the DX Swimsuit and Wave ones.
