As with the Red, the 195mm-tal Haruka figure is based on a newly drawn art by Hitoshi Ariga, who is best known for his Rock Man/Mega Man manga/illustration works and also worked on the Pokémon designs for the 2013 Nintendo 3DS game Pokémon X and Y. A Serena figure with Fokko is scheduled to be added as the third entry soon.
Following Red with Pikachu to be released next month, Japanese retailers have started accepting pre-orders for Kotobukiya’s new ARTFX J character figure of Haruka from the Pocket Monsters/Pokémon franchise, for an April 2017 release.
Purchasers at the official Kotobukiya shops will get a colored paper with Hitoshi Ariga’s illustration.
