Ack! Freaky giant doll alert. March 1st (tomorrow!) pre-orders start for this huge, freaky-assed life-sized Haruhi Suzumiya figurine in Japan. According to the maker, the five-foot statue has a moveable head, shoulders, elbows, lower back, knees, ankles, fingertips and, ahem, "groin." This Haruhi has an expected sticker price of ¥380,000 (US$ 3,628.72). But can you really put a price on something so creepy? Yes, apparently!

Life-sized Haruhi Suzumiya love doll?
Just wow.... just WOW... I know the Japanese are fanatics when it comes to these kinds of stuff but... WHY?
Knowing that someone, likely many people, want this makes me die a little inside.
I can far too easily imagine that thing coming to life, and stabbing its owner to death.
@Gouki4u: Gee thanks. I was JUST about to go to bed, but noooooooooo. :-P
The Japanese really know how to creep me out sometimes.
@edb87: You're welcome. If I'm going to have Haruhi nightmares everybody else should too. :)
Oh great. Now I just imagined what some people would probably do to that thing. So much for sleeping. I love Haruhi as much as anyone, but...damn. That's a bit much.
Yeah baby ... shake that groin!
You know, now that I think of it...it reminds me of those creepy store mannequins in clothing stores that scared me as a child.
I'm sure some people will only use it as a quiet driving companion.
CREEPY!
Wow. Creepy looking...
when's the Mikuru version comming out?
So what exactly does a "movable groin" do?
I would *really* much rather have Shokotan dressed up as Haruhi thankyouverymuch.
I totally agree this is creepy...
If by creepy you mean super sexy! Oh snap!
"Rollerblade Barbie is basically a standard Barbie, which is to say, she represents the feminine beauty ideal, if your concept of a beautiful female is one who is six feet, nine inches tall and weighs 52 pounds (37 of which are in the bust area) and has a rigidly perky smile and eyeballs the size of beer coasters and a one-molecule nose and enough hair to clog the Lincoln Tunnel." -Dave Barry
All this doll needs is the plastic sparking booties.
WHAT?! Someone hook me up with the hot babe in the glass case of emotion.
@psycoking: Now that I would definitely consider buying. *wink wink*
but what can you do with a movable groin?
@Xiedo:
I don't know. Do they have car-pool lanes in Japan?
@VakeroRokero:
Move it?
@Odin:
All night long.
If someone was that lonely, it would be cheaper for them to let a total stranger stay with them for several months than to purchase that doll.
...and I presume this is official merchandise.
Japan. So customer-friendly. So wrong.
HOLY SWEET DOLL JOINTS! Despite the price of such a thing, I wouldn't buy it anyways. The face is way off. And the boobs aren't big enough. But that's just me ;)
@Xiedo: And have sex with it as soon as they're out of the 2+ lane, yes.
I'm assuming that the 'movable groin' is actually a set of hip joints that allows the doll to sit down..
@GrlGmr
I'm assuming that the 'movable groin' is actually a set of hip joints that allows the doll to sit down..:
...or assume various 'bent' poses for what I'm sure must be entirely innocent reasons.
(key test - is it advertised as 'wipe clean'?)
this only proves my point that all anime is really creepy looking.
No panty shots? I'm surprised...
@aldo_14: you win.
But otherwise creepy and cost that much cash? Truly sad, and we're not talking there are people going to buy, there are people over there excited enough to preorder it. Wowsa!
@GrlGmr: Thank gods someone clarified what "moveable groin" meant. I know what it would mean on a male... erm... love doll, but the idea of a female moveable groin is baffling, to say the least.
Thanks for a close up of what must surely be the ugliest shoes in all of Japan. Those are even worse than those Xbox shoes that were up a while back.
I hope it comes with the bunny girl outfit as well.
Groin? What? Why? So they can put "something else" there instead? *shudders*
dude, that's one expensive love doll. Some people are gonna get busy with this doll, I just know it!
@GrlGmr: Or to re-enact a certain dance, mosre likely.
Sex with dolls is the future. Get ready for it people! Think about it this way: what is creepier, having sex with something that looks vaguely human or having sex with something that doesn't look human at all like a fleshlight or a dildo?
@clintonskneecap: Indeed. I like how the artist has made no attempt at making the human-sized figure resemble a human. Mouth-to-eye ratio, anyone? Nose?
[insert joke about doll joints here]
I think it'd be more worth the money if it even remotely looked like Haruhi in some way besides the outfit. Maybe they wanted a more generic face so that people could dress it up in other ways without having it scream "I AM HARUHI!" Or maybe it does...
She doesn't look very happy :(
Maybe by moveable groin they mean there's a join at the hips for her legs?
in fact, she looks... dead.
@Han Daimond:
true
Movable groin? Sing with me!
Futa futa futa futa FUTA futa futanari!
ps. Do not google image for moar understanding
Good god look at the price!
404 on that link Captain!
wait 50 years and you will be able to buy an life-sized Haruhi Suzumiya android...
@Kytano-Skorpius:
so there you go! this for Condemned 2: Viva Japan. That makes alot more sense. Because otherwise someone is waaaaaaay too into making sweet love to life-size sad Mongaloid child corpses.
Now for 2 grand, I'd totally hit it. But $3700? I mean . . . that's just too much
Is it easy to clean up? I know there's bound to be some... accidents...
Hello Car Pool Lane :-)
Is it waterproof and wipe cleanable?
movable groin????
is there a vibrator involved?
The horror... the horror....
A sign of the apocolypse..
For some reason she looks kinda like those dead woman who get dolled up by those funeral people before going off to get buried. Or at least it reminds me of that. and that creeps me out a bit.
0_o ???
The day of realistic sex-bots is quickly approaching??
BOI-OI-OI-OI-OI-OI-INNNG!
I know what I'm asking for graduation =D
@Han Daimond: @Garo:
Exactly. They are trying to cover all corners of the market.
Man, those tears of shame should be pretty darn warm.
3.6K and she still doesn't have an articulating mouth... She is realistic!!!
Well that is the most important aspect for a toy. 0_o
I want it. Just to have her stand in them middle of the room, posing. Perhaps my friends may want to hold...her. >_>
I see a new Child's Play movie coming on...
