First, the long-awaited scans!



For a list of the entire contents of the Newtype Complete artbook, read this post.

And now, as a follow-up to this post, here's more information about those upcoming furoku zen-in figures previously announced in The Sneaker:


Well, I lied. Only one of the three figures (Haruhi) is a furoku figure. Mikuru and Yuki, unfortunately, are going to be zen-in ("send-away") figures. That means available to Japanese addresses only. Crap!

Here's the complete breakdown:

HARUHI
Comes with limited edition of manga volume 4, published February 28th.

MIKURU
Zen-in for the February and March issues of Shounen Ace. The "February" issue goes on sale on December 26th (hooray for Japanese magazine publishing system), so mark your calenders! Apparently you can order her using the coupon in either the February or March issue; this is not one of those zen-in where you need to collect two coupons over two months. It is simply that you will have two chances to get her.

YUKI
Zen-in for the February issue of The Sneaker. This issue goes on sale on December 27th.

As for the fact that two of the three figures are zen-in... I dunno what to say. Zen-in figures will only ship to addresses within Japan; and there is a limit of one per address. Which is not a problem for those of us who live in Japan, but for anybody else, it's going to be difficult getting your hands on these. Honestly I have no idea what sort of advice to give in terms of getting zen-in items if you live outside Japan. Other than asking a friend in Japan to order one for you, does anybody have any other ideas? And no, don't ask me to order them for you, I'm definitely using my "one per address" limit for my own figures. ^^;;

Anyway, here's a preview image of the Haruhi figure, and the artwork that all three figures will be based on:



EDIT December 2006: Mikuru, Yuki, and colored!Haruhi figure previews now available here.

Say, the link just won't respond. Is there anything I need to do for downloading from badongo?

You have to click and open the Bandongo link. You cannot do a "save as" or "save target as". You must open the Badongo page.

Once you get to the Badongo page, look for the countdown. It will be counting down the seconds until you can get a download slot.

When the countdown is finished, a download button will appear. Click that to download the file.

Hmm..... Still won't work, though. Don't know why. But thanks for the help.

Does Myfile.sg work for you? I can reupload the MyFile links if you'd like.

No, thank you. I don't want to bother you too much.
