VFTF1 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Meh. Is that thing even canon? I don't recal her wearing a swim suit... Besides - I like her best in that white dress with the blue lining and the neato big boots - like the gashaprom wave 1 figure has. Pete Quote
boota Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 What I'm moe interested to know is... is the swimsuit removable? Quote
CF18 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 That's not green hair! No poo! I could't recognize that it was Ranka when I first saw it. Blame it on the SMS grunt that paint it: http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/up...across-f104.jpg Quote

Dr. Z Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I will never understand the appeal for such figures. Quote
Hikuro Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Meh. Is that thing even canon? I don't recal her wearing a swim suit... It's on Canalia's monster. So technically yes, and technically no. Quote
edwin3060 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Well, nevertheless, it looks great! I hope they release others, maybe modelled on the recent stickers that came with the release of Ranka and Bobby's Single and Sheryl's Brother Spaceship... esp. Sheryl. Quote
Cent Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 At least the swimsuit Ranka on the VB-6 had green hair man I wonder what Ranka said about that when she saw it from Alto's cockpit... >_> Also, this one is totally for the lolicons. Pass. Quote
wwkkim Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 It's on Canalia's monster. So technically yes, and technically no. WHAT? NO WAY... Why the hell does the figure have underwear.. this is not ANIME ACCURATE. Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 It's on Canalia's monster. So technically yes, and technically no. Ah - thanks. Might have to get this then. WHAT? NO WAY... Why the hell does the figure have underwear.. this is not ANIME ACCURATE. Actually - at least now we also know that the hair color is anime accurate. It isn't a heavy real green on the Monster - but a kind of yellowish/green tint. As for the panties. I think she has panties on in that painting - you just can't see them... although - yeah - there's no panty line on her hips there... non-anime accurate Pete Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 WHAT?!?! IT'S NOT ANIME ACCURATE?!?!? MEGAHOUSE HAS FAILED! OMG! Look at the legs! They don't sit high enough in that crouched position! THIS IS A DISASTER! The crotch is positioned TOO LOW and the ANKLES are horrendous! I HATE IT! I HATE IT! That's why I'm only buying one of them. Quote
Hikuro Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 It might be,I'd say we need a close up of the nose before I judge....I mean who really cares if the figure doesn't have underwear? is it really that big of a deal? : / It's underwear. Quote

Saw a close up of it and she didn't have it. I remember myself drooling over it. anyways, I was just kidding around it not being anime accurate Quote
logos Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) WHAT? NO WAY... Why the hell does the figure have underwear.. this is not ANIME ACCURATE. Man if you don't know the ansewr to that one....... Seriously though about how many cm/inches tall will it be? @$85 CAD it's not bad. Edited January 22, 2009 by logos Quote

You know - the sucky thing is... when I first saw it - I thought: no - thighs to hefty, calves too fat and too big a gutt to be Ranka - and then suddenly, it turns out it's off the Monster - and yeah - the body type fits. This makes me wonder - is that Ranka an artist's impression, or did she really model for it? Because honestly, her body is way to beefed up in that pick - at least that's the impression I get when compared to her "in clothing" looks. Still - might pick one of these up. Pete Quote

Pete This is the womanly Ranka... you know, with the child-bearing hips and all-- too bad the boobs didn't develop as well... and I DEMAND ANIME ACCURACY! Quote
Letigre Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) At least the swimsuit Ranka on the VB-6 had green hair man I wonder what Ranka said about that when she saw it from Alto's cockpit... >_> Man have I wondered how they got that past Ozma.. Also, this one is totally for the lolicons. Pass. One could argue so was Ranka in general. It's an interesting piece..if only because it uses rather obscure piece of art for reference. I don't think it interests me beyond the curiosity of it all. [..not that I haven't thought of a custom paint of a Konig Monster with that on the side, however.] Edited January 22, 2009 by Letigre Quote
Spiff Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 More new Macross frontier figures from MegaHouse here. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Again, with the panties! Dammit, Underwear is not necessary, whatever gods control this! Quote
Cent Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'm surprised they didnt make the underwear removable Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I'm surprised they didnt make the underwear removable I'm not surprised, just pissed off. If I had power, they would be anime-accurate... You know what I mean. Quote
Cent Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I'm not surprised, just pissed off. If I had power, they would be anime-accurate... You know what I mean. But but... SK didn't provide detailed and accurate lineart for that area! It can't be canon! XD Quote
EXO Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 ummm.... whew... O.K... Waiter! Check please... Quote

Cent Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 SK didn't, but, then again, SK's not the character designer. Yeh, I know. I was making references to intense debates over VF toy/model accuracies =P Quote
Hikuro Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 HAH! Omigod the Klan doll is adorable! If I actually collected these type of figures, I'd buy ranka, no questions asked. Sadly though I don't really collect them. Quote

Sadly though I don't really collect them. I think we're all still waiting for a 1:1 inflatable Misa It's not SK's fault Bandai Fails. It's the Gundamaniacs' faults! (Steven Spielberg presents: The Gundamaniacs!) It's not SK's fault Yamato falls apart. It's... Well, I got no pun for that, actually... Quote
505thAirborne Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I think we're all still waiting for a 1:1 inflatable Misa wtf? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Hmm might get one, but i just gotta ask, WHY NOT SHERYL swimsuit!!!! Hope this isn't going to be a Nadesico thing where that loli chick (whatshername) has more figs of her than of the more buxsom sheilas (like 10 other chicks) Edited January 23, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote

Hope this isn't going to be a Nadesico thing where that loli chick (whatshername) has more figs of her than of the more buxsom sheilas (like 10 other chicks) I guess they just wanted to do something that wasn't so obvious. The Monster-pose is a good candidate. It threw me at first until someone pointed out where it came from. I like it. I'm a Ranka fan. I'll get it. And now here comes the real question: Is she taking her bra off? ....or...is she having trouble putting it on? Knowing our little munchkin - I'd wager that Ranka had trouble clipping/fastening the bra and was stumbling her way through the process - and maybe the artist decided to capture her that way, rather than wait for it to be fastened. It's a very good character piece, in this sense, because it shows how so much of her cuteness flows from her clumsiness Pete Quote
