Colour-changing Haruhi figurine

Not too long ago, Bandai started taking preorders for an Asuka figurine under a new “Metamorphigure” (メタモフィギュア) line of products. It has a dress that changes colour between black and white depending on the room temperature. You can view an official video of the colour-changing process to see for yourself. Asuka will be released next month.

And today, Bandai released pictures of the prototype for the second figure in the series: Haruhi-sama! You can view the original entry on Akiba-blog.

Haruhi

According to the entry, the sample has not been given the colour-changing treatment yet. The creators are still playing around with the design so the current colour scheme may differ from the final product. Bandai is shooting for a May release. Look out for improved samples on display at various events before the figure hits the market.

While the colour-changing feature is kind of cool, I will wait until after Asuka gets released before passing judgement. Still, I wonder if this unspecified method for making colour-changing PVC places any limitations on the variety of colours and the amount of details possible. Asuka changes from opaque black to translucent white and I find it very likely that white wasn’t selected intentionally.

Wait… Does this mean translucent bunny suit? o_o

    Let me guess… Done on purpose for fan-service, for all you %*&$@ people… Nah… But if it were color changing and more innocent I woul buy it., and if I really do. That would be my first real PVC figurine I ever got/bought. Oh well I’m not a full fledged anime fan-boy after all

    Well, that’s one interesting spec of info. And if the price isn’t that much over “normal” ones, I’d buy one right away /o/. And if it really is translucent white, she should have either something under or proper paint for “detail”, or so to speak. Maybe they go for the same scheme Black/White as with Asuka, depending on how hard it’s to derive/make new scheme for these.

    So how likely is your room temperature going to jump from one extreme to another any time? ._.

    Interesting. If she comes with nipples and all and it turns transparent, I’ll buy it.
