My package is finally here from Japan! ^^,
The contents is a combo of the Haruhi game + figure of Haruhi in her chouyusha or "super heroine" costume, which she wore in one of the play modes in the PS2 game.
I got this on eBay for $36.00 with free shipping, not bad at all considering how much this is selling in most places, as you'll find out a bit later why most people charge an arm for this. Now I proceed with unpacking the goodies :D.
Everything was in perfect condition which surprised me a bit because the seller listed it as a "USED" item.
To those who do not understand, I shall explain first what a Figma is. Figma is a toy line under Max Factory and Good Smile company where they boast highly articulated figures with excellent sculpts and accessories to match. It is a growing industry and so far their most known rival is the Revoltech series.
If you will check the pictures you will see the code SP001 on the box, here's what makes THIS figure very significant. Figma currently has 3 categories: SP (special), EX (exclusive) and the normal releases. It means that this is the first of a Special Releases hence the "001" number. But what makes it greater is that this is THE FIRST Figma figure ever released and was made for the accompanying game! This is somewhat bad as I don't think I'd want to take her out of the box after considering all this :p.
The bad part here is the game is in Japanese which means I won't be able to understand it, plus it's impossible to even make it work on my PS2 unit and TV due to the display format (NTSC-J).
To end with, here's Actar's review of this very figure, enjoy!
