Graham Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Thought I'd start a dedicated thread for discussing Yamato's upcomin large scale Minmay figure. First two pics thanks to MWer: Save Robotech Graham Quote
EXO Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 how big is large scale. kinda creeps me out. Quote
charger69 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) I think RealDoll should make a 1/1 Minmay. Oops!... Edited February 25, 2008 by charger69 Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 ooooo! that looks pretty sweet! I want it! How much? Quote
EXO Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 just found where it says 50cm... that's about a foot and a half... 1/4 scale. Though at Minmay's height that would be 1/5 scale. Quote
bigkid24 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 It's nice but I'm on the fence about actually buying it. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Cool!! Thanks G-Man. :) I like her, but want to see more pics, with poseability, and umm... yeh. I haven't got a decent Minmay figure, so i am in the market for one, and this one is really beautiful. Nice eyes, face sculpt, and the legs are sweet. What about Misa? And Hikaru? Attention to detail for this size is great. Not really after a Man doll though. I hope Revoltechs will do some, smaller the man doll the smaller the guilt. Plus this new Minmay is sposed to be a 25th Anniversary release am i right? So collectivity is good atleast. Yeah i'll throw my name down for owning one. Come on! Who else??? also... http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=-2&Ma...chpage=top_page http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=-2&Ma...chpage=top_page http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=-2&Ma...chpage=top_page *whistles* .............. (i know these are in 1/6 scale, but we all know our women look better with tighter stuf on right??!) http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=-2&Ma...chpage=top_page = win.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Notice the Roy Vf-1S with the Booster pack cover off, i guess that would be the 1/48... be nice if the 1/60 v2 had that ability :edit: sorry guys, that is the 1/48, with clear l/edition FP's Edited February 25, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Macross73 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 at 50 cm that is one big Minmay. So how much ? when ? what other characters? they could make her 23 cm 1/6 scale and that would ok too then she'd fit in my display case with the rest of the girls. Quote
eriku Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 It looks really fantastic, but it's just too big for me to even consider buying. Quote
kensei Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I like it a lot, it's just that I cannot bring myself to have a gigantic doll in my house. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Perfect. This would be an excellent addition for a diorama of the final scene where Hikaru is ready to terminate Boldoza. I'm soooo getting this. **I wonder what my wife will think of this? Better get two, one for me...ahem, I mean diorama. And one for my daughter. Edited February 25, 2008 by nightmareB4macross Quote
Dante74 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I hearby officialy declare everyone that considers buying this to be a big ol' girly-man. Sometimes I really miss Agent One... ... sometimes. Quote

Sometimes I really miss Agent One... ... sometimes. Wow. And missing another man doesn't make you a girly-man, or better yet a sphinkter-fairy? Quote
crasis Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I had REALLY high hopes for this piece, especially since I've been getting gradually more interested in the 1/4 scale due to Sideshow Collectibles Premium Format Star Wars line (the Anakin Skywalker one recently blew me away enough to ignore the hefty price and preorder). Even my wife was excited when I told her about this Minmay figure coming out months ago. I was looking forward to this piece far more than the 25th Anniversary valks back when they were all announced. But these pictures don't make me a happy camper. The size of Minmay doesn't freak me out at all – it's the creepiness of the presentation. Unlike the tons of "man doll" figs I own/have seen, there's something very eerie about this figure. I don't know if it's the "real" hair, off sculpt or somewhat blank stare, but I'm getting more of a creepy Child's Play-esque vibe rather than "hey, that's Minmay!". I'm surprised, since Yamato has a great track record of producing amazing female anime character likenesses in their other lines. This doesn't look like Minmay to me. More like some freaky porcelain doll that will come alive at night and kill me in my sleep. I'm still hoping that PopBox will continue their excellent line of Macross 1/6 figures and do Minmay, Misa and Milia some day. A guy can dream, no? Quote
big F Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 at 50 cm that is one big Minmay. Looks good but im sure my GF would be weirded out by me getting one Macross73 where did you get the stands for your figs I need some for mine Quote
MacrossMan Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Gonna pass on barbie minmei. You guys are buck wild! Girly man...that's too funny! Might pick one up for my little sister. Quote
misterryno Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 You guys are buck wild! Girly man...that's too funny! Might pick one up for my little sister. I'd pick one up if they had a Hikky figure that big and then I would just do with them what I used to do with my Michael Knight figure and my sis' Barbies Quote
polidread Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 wonder if it's like those very beautiful ball-jointed dolls some girls love collecting and dress up... id like to get one and give them culture shock that a series as "masculine" as Macross would come up with something like that... Quote
misterryno Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 id like to get one and give them culture shock that a series as "masculine" as Macross would come up with something like that... Macross = Masculine??? Who says? Quote
miriya Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Macross = Masculine??? Who says? Agreed. I think it is rather balanced. Lots of lead female rolls and more "sensitive" than most shoot em up anime series. Quote
Macross73 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I've been getting the 1/6 stands from http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Pastic-Figure-St...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote
vf2ss Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) I hearby officialy declare everyone that considers buying this to be a big ol' girly-man. I don't care what you call me, I still want one. Edited February 25, 2008 by vf2ss Quote
Max Jenius Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I won't pick one up, but it does look very accurate. I like how they did her hair coloring. Quote
EXO Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I'm a completist when it comes to high end stuff. And this is definitely one of them. Plus I hate pop music but I seem to like the Minmay songs (most likely since I dont understand what she's saying.) I kinda like the Yellow sub look more, not as creepy. Maybe I'll give it to my mom... she used to hate the Robotech Minmay songs when I watched it as a kid, this would be a good way to piss her off and add to her doll collection at the same time. hehe.

isamu_dyson Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) just found where it says 50cm... that's about a foot and a half... 1/4 scale. Though at Minmay's height that would be 1/5 scale. More 1/3 than 1/5 1/3 => 150cm 1/5 => 250 cm anyway she's quite big i'm wondering how much she will cost ? Edited February 26, 2008 by isamu_dyson Quote
do not disturb Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 i'm guessing these are probably models but i wanna know whats up with these... Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Perfect. This would be an excellent addition for a diorama of the final scene where Hikaru is ready to terminate Boldoza. I'm soooo getting this. **I wonder what my wife will think of this? Better get two, one for me...ahem, I mean diorama. And one for my daughter. Dude great idea!!! I am suprised i didn't think about that, specially with the SDF-1 coming soon too. My only worry is that she will be too big in my cabinet for her to stand. I gotta measure it up. Again great idea!!!!!!! We can even use a Revoltech VF-1S to do the assassination in front of her. :edit: Hmm she should be right, just checked, i might have to bend her legs slightly ala floating pose. Edited February 26, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Not paying 200 bucks or more though sorry Yamato. She's not even variable! :P Quote
EXO Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 More 1/3 than 1/5 1/3 => 150cm 1/5 => 250 cm anyway she's quite big i'm wondering how she will be ? whoops, your right, I went the wrong way with the sale, but I actually meant the next one up. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Soooo, 50 cms of Minmay booty is around what scale? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) i'm guessing these are probably models but i wanna know whats up with these... Hasegawa on the left side, with Yamato on the right. That's the stand you can buy in hlj.com if i'm not mistaken and the models sure look 1/72ish. The blue valks in the 25th anni Hasegawa release.
