Haruhi Box Set
Okay, I know I’m pretty late compared to most on this…but hey, I was in California for nearly three weeks, and I had it shipped to my home in Portland. Which I just returned to today. So…nyah.That said, I remain thoroughly impressed by Bandai’s packaging of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I don’t normally buy box sets, but I enjoyed this show a lot and I’m constantly being thrown off my guard by Bandai’s stellar (and very in-character, as it were) marketing of the series, and I really think they’re working their asses off to make sure it’s done well for the fans. So, kudos to them!My only complaint though, is the color of the headband. Compare the color of Bandai’s headband to the color of the one I made ages ago, and then if you can see it in the tiny picture, compare it to Haruhi’s. Mine’s way closer! I keep seeing these really dull matte yellows in the merch, but it’s really much more of a gold, folks. </nerd>
