Character toy maker Ensky had previously introduced a Chara Puka series of Free! toys that features a character leisurely floating on a inflatable tube last year. Even though they're already cute enough, their Twitter keeps suggesting creative and sometimes hilarious use of the toys and a recent suggestion was photographed while taking advantage of the rare and severe snow conditions in Tokyo.
The regular Chara Puka toys, shown above. It floats on water so you can take a bath with your favorite Free! character. The figure and the tubes are not connected and many alternate uses suggested by the official blog use the figure alone. It snowed in Tokyo one day and the official Twitter let the boys out as you see below.
Haruka and Rin buried in rare snow in Tokyo and look how happy Rin looks.
After few hours of leaving them outside. The official Twitter shows concern since this is a day before Wonder Festival in Japan.
This creative use of the figures was also posted last holiday season.
The figure sits nicely on objects because of its shape. Above, you see Haruka as the king of the underwater world. This photo made me think that Ensky should work on a Nagi No Asukara Chara Puka figure series next.
A boxed purchase of 6 will include one duplicate character with a special facial expression depending on where you purchase the box.

Haruka at Bunkyodo and AniMega
The comparison image posted by the official Twitter above, with regular version on the left and special version on the right. I am really impressed with how subtle the change is on Haruka's face, just like in the anime.
