If anyone is interested the figure is 26% off at AmiAmi or 15% off at HLJ. Those are really good prices, but I'm more interested in Haruhi herself and I need to see more pictures before I decide (The ones shown at the Tamashii Nation event didn't exactly excite me).

Haruhi should put on a hardsuit before she gets in that Motoslave.

That's actually a pretty cool design. Reminds me of

(Though unfortunately with the exchange rate my Japanese imports are limited to "Essentials" like JP BDs with English subtitles and Nogami Takeshi doujinshi.)

So.......who thought of the idea of putting the KyoAni mascot known as Haruhi and the super harcore mecha machine together?

Because it's genius.

NOTE: Have not seen season 2 if the model is a reference to it.

Let a friend drink the coffee and keep the cans for yourself. Wink Those Yuki designs on the cans are quite cute by the way, I'd love to get a set of those myself.

Snapped up one from AmiAmi. Might need to order another one to have a spare, because I know I am going to break this tinkering with it. Smile

Hajime Katoki designed it. He's like Bandai's go-to guy when it comes to redesigning or re-imagining mecha and characters.

Heh, my first thought was that it looked like it could just crumble on its own at any moment. But I have faith in Bandai, only thing I want to see before I decide to buy is a list of features. As far as I know what's in the article is the only official pic released so far, the rest is different angles from the show display. Bandai is keeping this one a little too close to the vest still.

It's not a reference to Season 2. It's just an ordinary mash-up.

Would have been a _major_ improvement to Season 2 if it was actually featured in-series.

Now, how long before we get a sweet Soul of Chogokin version of the MecHaruhi suit?? Smile
