Kotobukiya Haruhi

You want a castoffable figure of Haruhi did you say?
Your wish is Kotobukiya's command. This 1/7 scale figure of Haruhi will be out in November and retail for 6,090 yen.
More photos including ones with her top on at AmiAmi.

Any of you own a Haruhi figure?
I have the Max Factory, Nendoroid puchi (various), Figma (PS2 and standard version) and Freeing Bunny. My fave is the Freeing Bunny. But it could be the Figma.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

I wish her hair would have a matte feel to it like the Alter kanu and not shiny like the picture portrays. Would like to get this one though as my first haruhi figure! ^^

Not a one, but if they come out with a long hair version from season two I might change me mind.

she looks awesome, i've got 3 haruhi figures, max factory's, the figumate haruhi and the Bubba Bunny Haruhi resin kit from E2046.com. I might get this Haruhi but then i've got too many pre-orders for now. I do agree with FatBastard that a long haired haruhi would be sweet!

Don't we have enough Haruhi?

The anime was decent and all, but man I don't see where the cult-like following is coming from.

  I see what you mean.
  
  Personally, I have no idea why there's so many Ikkitousen figures. Worse, lots of them are of dubious quality and smacks of blatant cashing in.

That version sure looks beautiful~ Captures Haruhi's emotion~

I only have the Konami Haruhi. Kinda looks crappy, though it comes with some nice Club room accessories :)

I'll have that Haruhi on my wishlist too~

The only Haruhi I have is the Freeing Bunny Haruhi. It's a great figure. I love the real fishnet pantyhose and the glossy bunny suit.

This Kotobukiya Haruhi is not bad, but I think I'll pass on it. Hopefully there'll be a fresh crop of Haruhi figures when season 2 airs. I'm looking forward to a long hair version in the different school uniform.

I have Max Factory's scaled Haruhi and figma Haruhi ... and Sega's Haruhi Ex Alive is on her way.

This Haruhi looks quite good but I guess I don't need another Haruhi at this moment, thus I'll pass.

Reserved the moment it was announced! As for Haruhi figures, I own Figma, Chouyusha, FREEing, Nendoroid (Schoolgirl uniform & Bunny), Nendoroid Petit, Metamo, Sega, Max Factory, At.Sai e.t.c. I'm missing many Gashapons though :(
This figure shall be placed next to Alter's Nagato Yuki swimsuit version.

The price is pretty reasonable for a 1/7 figure. Then again.... I'm broke so it does not make much difference ^^. Really looking forward to get this cause she looks really nice unlike those figures of her produced by Wave, Sega and whatnot.
Currently, the only Haruhi figure I own is the one by Max Factory.

It's a nice design and everything. I kinda like it. Something about the face makes her look a little different. This figure doesn't have that "must get" feel to it.
The only other Haruhi figure I got is the figma school uniform one and I'm quite satisfied with it

Definitely like it, but I don't think I need to get it, I'd rather get ahold of the ps2 figma I think. Got the Haruhi figma and that's good enough for me and my low budget.

I'll probably get this. I'm planning to have a nice set of Haruhi figues (Figma, Nendoroid, Bunny, etc.). In fact, right now Haruhi figures are the only kind that look really appealing to me (with the possible exception of Lucky Star figmas).

This figure looks awesome and it's castoffable as well!? Holy molly, I'm drooling already :P

This sculpt looks great, lots of personality and energy in it. As for figures that I have- I've got a Figma Haruhi, and I like it quite a bit.

While it's nice to see new Haruhi figures, I am hopeful that we'll see some figures of similar quality from less popular or perhaps unfairly overlooked series.
