The next Haruhi girl to get the Freeing bunny treatment is Ryouko Asakura.
Out this September and retails for 11,800 yen.
Pic from Good Smile.
Probably would look nice on top of your monitor display.
How many of you have a Freeing bunny?

    Ok, now I officially want all the Freeing bunnies from Haruhi! I'm surprised there's no knife behind her back.

    I don't have any of them but would love to have them all!
    They look SO good (love the bunny look).
    I don't know if you could balance her in a flat panel screen.

    Danny, do you know if FREEing is re-releasing the other Bunny Girls? I noticed that Haruhi and Mikuru are on GoodSmile's product page next to Ryouko. I hope so, as I've been wanting to get Bunny Haruhi (and maybe Mikuru too).

    HUGE fan of Ryouko. This is getting bought-for sure. I have not been disappointed by any of the FREEing bunnies. Though I wish they would re-do Mikuru. Not a huge fan of a "sad" figure.

    Wow - thats ace! Unfortunately, i have sold all of my FREEing bunnies (except haruhi) due to lack of space and needing of money. Ill keep my eye on the online shops to bag a pre-order of this though - it looks ace. I was hoping she would be in this pose as its based on that illustration of them all in bunny costumes.

    So far, I only have Freeing Haruhi and Yuki, which are both gorgeous figures.

      I just looked on there and its not listed at all. I know what you mean though - the freeing figures sell out lethally fast. I was minutes too late for the haruhi one (the best one!) and ended up paying about £130 for one on ebay :-/

        Holy crap, youre right! I managed to find it, and its sold out even before its listed on the front page! What the hell? Is there some secretive society that pre-orders these things en masse before theyre even common knowledge?

          Rumor has it HobbySearch sometimes forewarns the Japanese about the release of figures a few hours in advance before putting it up on the English page.

    As appealing as she is...I'll wait for the articulated Figma version.

    Hey Danny,

    I have the Haruhi figure, but I was wondering about something. Does yours have some paint blemishes on it? I noticed that since its so big, the paint job isnt that perfect. Theres some small spots here and there. I also noticed that the skin color tone for part of the left arm, left hand, and left side are a bit whiter than the rest of the body. Is yours like that too?

    Did anyone also notice that the stockings black color rubs off on the legs?

        Why would you distrust Freeing? They're expensive but it's worth exactly what you pay for them.
