GSC/MF Saves WF 2008 [S] Offerings with figma Nagato Yuki (Evil Witch ver.)
July 4, 2008 at 3:20 pm | In Merchandise, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya | 6 Comments
I was massively disappointed by Goodsmile Company and Max Factory’s offerings for Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer] when they were first announced a few weeks ago. GSC/MF finally put out something worthy: figma Nagato Yuki (Evil Witch ver.) from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! Now that’s the GSC/MF that I know and love.
Space Witch Nagato will come with seven right hands parts, five left hand parts, witch hat, two capes, Sterling Inferno wand, guitar, guitar strap, Shamisen, two tea cups, teapot, tea tray, advertisement signboard, two sign stickers, stand base, and stand beam. The huge assortment of spare parts justifies the price tag, 3,000 yen.
EDIT: I just noticed that Space Witch Nagato will be available for regular retail in September. So no online preorders.
Side note: Does anyone know what the official translation (dub) for Yuki’s label, “warui mahou-tsukai (悪い魔法使い)” is? Please do tell if you know.

I’m not really sure if this helps a bit or not but I think it’s probably “bad magic user” or “bad mage” or something to that effect. I’m not so sure about the dub translation, sometimes they are incorrect.

@ Chiisai:
Literally, it’s “bad magic user”, but no one would say that since it’s pretty obvious warui = evil here and and it sounds awkward.
I’ve only seen the dub once, at Anime Boston 2007, so I can’t remember anything about it. ^^;;

Hey, Atashi. They went with (simply enough) “evil witch” for the translation of 悪い魔法使い for the dub.

@ Atashi:
Now that you mention it I agree it sounds awkward…I’ve never heard the dub before but you could go with JS’suggestion, though “Mahotsukai” doesn’t mean witch in particular.

Devious magic user, perhaps? I know of no official dub, haha.
Finally got it at a local anime goods store back in December.. it’s awesome! XD
