Completely forgot to mention that Emiri's head will come with figma Tsuruya-san and Taniguchi's head will come with figma Ryouko.
Will anybody be getting two of the same figure just for the extra head?

    OMG Are they nuts?! Are they really gonna make a figma of the whole cast? Where's Kyon no Imouto-san gundammit?!

      Well I guess Haruhi is just that popular to the point where they decide to make the whole cast to capitalize.

    That's. . . Bizarre. And yet cool. There's something very nice about Emiri's hair paint. It looks almost transluscent.

    Heh, good thing I want Asakura and Tsuyura anyway. XD

    That's quite smart; they save money from making new packages and dolls for most likely less popular characters and trick you into buying two of the same just so you can have another body to match these faces.

    I definitely want Emiri and if it comes with Nyoron thats even better

    the Ryoko, though, is a huge disappointment, at least from what I've seen so far

    WHERE is the knife? no book bag? 100% fail

    not even worth purchasing if it comes with no accessories. there are plenty of good non-poseable ryokos out there that do come with the items.

    Ah! I can't believe I didn't know this. I might have to buy Ryoko after I said I wouldn't just to get Taniguchi...but then what would happen to Kyon and Koizumi? I'd have to take one of them. Oh noes....I'll just...have to say no to BOTH now.

    Wow, that's cool. I've always wanted a figma Taniguchi, but figured they'd never make one. I'll worry about the extra bodies for those heads later, lol. Even before this announcement I already planned to buy Ryouko and Tsuruya, so this is a nice extra.

    It's a really good way to make more characters available at low cost. People who just want the main cast would not buy a full Figma of Taniguchi. People who want everybody will buy another Kyon. Of course, I will buy two Tsuraya and a third Kyon :)

    Agh! Hope in the figma parts they will sell bodies of SOSdan members so you can build your own Emiri and Taniguchi. Or if your a hardcore haruhist you'll buy another Kyon and Tsuruya figure to save the hassle or be the casual buyer that will be satisfied with head swaping. Though Kyon, Itsuki and Tani won't be there at the same time when you take pics of your figma's. I can here those guys making figma's laughing now...But I hope in the future there will be a Kyon Imouto.
