How old is she here? Isn't Haruhi technically a loli anyway?
She's older than 12, so no.
the joints!!!!!
That's look like my Tsundere sister!
ill take 10
i just found out that this figure is #70 in the catalog and #71 is empty, and i believe thats reserved for grown-up mikuru
Wheres her OBEY face ? :O we need her to make us obey (even if she is in loli mode)
plus, guys stop feeding the trolls it only makes them hornier, it been said so many times that doll collecting is like every other hobby someone has,they just want to troll to get attention.
haters gonna hate
this "loli" haruhi is not young enough to be considered loli in my books.
Yes, people can not be filthy, dirty, disgusting otakus/hikkikomoris/NEETs and enjoy the occasional cartoon or comic. Sorry for blowing your mind.
i dont understand how you consider this community filthy, dirty and disgusting just because they collect dolls from their favorite anime. truly if you have such a big problem, then why are you here?
I think there's room for some diversity. I'm certainly far more into the shows than their associated merch.
That said, I think stereotyping any kind of fan is counterproductive.
One of the cutest girls I know collects anime figurines, and doesn't appear to be decaying from it.
(pre-ordered)...
The only thing (now) is wait for the - "long haired" - DoH Movie version, as I am sure that it will be made/available in the future, as I am thinking that is what Figma will probably do.
One can only hope.
SORRY TO INFORM YOU! but your troll credit card was just rejected, please do us and the rest of the universe a solid favor and GTFO. seriously if this is the way you think woman, you don't deserve to watch anime, hell your so ignorant, you fail to realize you are on a site full of otakus who don't follow your stupid stereotype and more to be exact, not everyone who falls under any of those categories do. So take your opinions and shove it up your narrow ass, seriously instead of bashing otakus why don't you make friends with the ones who don't follow those examples and if no ones wants to befriend you, you know why, am not angry that your bashing otakus alone, am angry at the fact that you label everyone who happens to be a otaku under "filthy, disgusting, smelly, acne-ridden trash", sorry but the only trash i see is people who love to pass down judgement like this.
sigh. i always forgot about the word troll. he/she was merely trolling right? i always fall for it.
I wish I was an otaku with 50 trillion figurines
i have this, in japan expo in france i buy this
I'm not singling out this website, if that is what you're thinking.
Every single otaku is filthy, disgusting, smelly, acne-ridden trash.
I bet you don't even know the real meaning of otaku. It's not something you should wear like a badge of honor.
Otakus don't look like that annoying blue haired girl.
Pictures are related, they are actual otaku. Disgusting.
(Alternatively, go look in the mirror. If you would lose some weight and work out, I'm sure you could find someone!)
that sounds more like a stereotype rather than an actual meaning. just like how a person uses the term geek or nerd insult someone. though the word itself is not necessarily a bad thing....to many
I think a part of the misunderstanding here is the use of the word Otaku inside versus outside of Japan. While within Japan, Otaku has seen use as a derogatory term, it finds a much friendlier and lighthearted base of use outside Japan. I enjoy joking about being an Otaku, despite being a college attending, nineteen-year-old male with a reasonably slim physique and, thanks to puberty finishing it's cycle, no acne.
There is a difference also between the "stereotype" of the Anime Otaku - the overweight, disgusting, fat slob who fawns over hundreds of figures while moaning "Nene is my waifu!" - and the real form of Otaku that is much more widespread. "Otaku" itself doesn't even specify Anime, and from what I understand can come to mean anyone obsessed with something, hence "Gun Otaku", "Game Otaku", "Food Otaku", etc. With every interest, there will always be a wide spectrum of fans - some will be at the obsessive scale, and some will be at the small interest scale, and many will fall between to varying degrees.
Going back to what I originally said, an issue here is the culture clash - within Japan, "Otaku" is seen as a derogatory word. We choose outside Japan to take it in a less black-and-white manner - that one can be a fan of something to any degree and jokingly be called an Otaku of that something. Perhaps in Japan it might be beneficial if those outside the "Otaku" base took more of a look at the wide spectrum of fans as opposed to a narrow minded, tight-assed, biased, irrational, moronic, and thoroughly bigoted view of them.
Welcome to the worldwide breed of Otaku, your majesty - you've joined the "Anti-Otaku Otaku" branch. =)
By people you mean little girls, little boys and creepy otakus?
There actually have been doll makers and collectors in the west since 19th century at least, long before "otakus" and their Japanese anime-based counterparts kicked in.
Pretty neat. Wouldn't buy, though. An image is enough for me. You stare at both and I don't really feel like touching figurines.
Figurine collectors are gross and creepy.
I don't understand the appeal, it's just a doll?
I own several Figmas and it's NOT creepy. The reasons are:
-They're some of the best representations of anime charas in actual form. Not all Figmas are great, but great figmas are amazing(like Luck Star and Golgo 13 and Ga Rei Zero ones are stunning)
-The posability for those figurines rival that of GI Joes
-The props they have, the stand they have, the custom stages = much more playable than dolls or, hell almost all 'action figures' out there.
I consider myself a manly man and I strut around the house playing with Figmas and posing them. I have no shame in doing so. I'm a proud Figma fan.
i agree,figmas are awesome,cool(and cute for the other characters,like mikuru)just give them the right accesories and position,:D
People have been collecting "dolls" for centuries. How is that so hard to comprehend? They tend to call something like that a hobby. Radical idea, I know.
I don't understand girls.
Neither did the guy who wrote that book about witch burning.
Well, it takes a certain kind of 'soul' to appreciate these kind of things....
It's an appreciation of art and detailed transition from 2D to 3D figures.
Though, you're not suppose to understand them, much like some other hobbies.
But i'll pass on loli Haruhi. Only 2 pissed-off faces? =(
Hah, even at age 12 she's controlling our lives! *reaches for wallet*
Because any potential owner of these figurines would piss Haruhi off irl.
Eh it's just a troll attempt with the same person using multiple accounts. "I'm siding with" nonsense makes things even more laughable.
princess not otaku @_@
It's a lil bit like women and their obsessions on handbags, higheels, cosmetics, jewelries, breast implants, and Twilight..
Umm, not really i guess; collecting figures is a lot more fun.
I'll have to side with Kako-shi on this one.
Is this a doll joints fetish?
Although Haruhi does look very "kawaii" as a "loli" figurine.
objectively speaking these are used for poses and for stop motion animation (if they have a lot of time)
its looks really nice if you have the right space for it. just like gundam figures, you can imitate scenes from the show. i think thats the main appeal.
I think Haruhi looks better in long hair...
I think Haruhi look better with sadist eyes
Everything looks better in long hair AND of course in loli form.
Kawaii ^^ Do want. Except for I don't really feel like wasting money on a figurine. But indeed looks awesome.
Now if they would release a Ryouko Asakura Figma figure...I wouldn't mind the price...
Better get her [http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/2055/figma Ryouko Asakura School Uniform ver.html] as soon as possible before it went into extinction, mate.

You're a couple of years late, mate..
Get her before she disappears (again) :3
ps: With Taniguchi's head as an extra part, you can create a Nice Boat scene.
I was still in High School back then and without a job (I'm 19 now)...Thank you for the link, MaidNiac...
Huh? Was that a School Days reference I just saw?
I can't believe you could type both "wasting money" and "figurine" in one sentence..
Dang, Haruhi must have annoyed me too much since ep01 that I have 0% interest in this one albeit it's a loli figma.. :<
Now why didn't they release Imouto-chan before..
