Repiv_Onex Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 every time I see a pic of it my eyes go strait to the O and thing "dammit, that should be a U" I have checked the art from Ep21, the letters in the Heart are really "OP", it's just that they missed out the word "up" directly after the word "Call". Anyone know what does the "OP" means? Quote

edwin3060 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 rofl. I think its just Engrish in the Episode as well.. we might get confirmation if it is redrawn in the DVD/BR release. Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 It could always be short for "Operation", like "Special Ops". "Operation Monster Girl" sort of works. Though I always though it was "up" anyway. The coloration's still a touch odd though. Quote
blacklotus Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Just like to comment that I ordered a pair of Ranka Lees upon seeing this interesting thread. No, I'm not into lolis. Hence, I don't watch shows like Kodomo no Chikan or buy figures based on those characters. My preference is for boobalicious women like the cow lady figure and the Queen's Blade Menace shown in this: http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/2009/02/tp0102.html http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/images/tp0102/025.jpg I'm buying because: 1) Megahouse, a subsidiary of Bandai, makes the best accurate PVC figures at the lowest prices. You can compare the prices of their 1/8 figures with the other manufacturers e.g. Orchid Seed, Maxfactory, Goodsmile Company. Megahouse's ones are bigger, better made (except maybe for GSC, but GSC is more expensive), and priced lower. 2) I want to support a company that offers collectors like me a cheap but good quality product. p.s. I also buy stuff from Orchid Seed, Maxfactory, Goodsmile and others. These 4 companies I named ranked among the best in accurate PVC sculpts, paint quality and prices. Yamato is inconsistent, as usual. Taki is priced higher and doesn't acknowledge the sculptors in their product boxes most of the time. As for the others...are those even the same anime ladies figurised? Quote

edwin3060 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Uh huh! So it seems like both sides are right-- it is 'Call up' AND it is 'Op (Operation?) Monster Girl' They just missed out the 'up'. That makes so much sense now. Call up Op Monster Girl at least makes some (engrish) sense. Quote

Yamato can be up and down, but overall I like there work (My all time favorite figure is a Yamato). Goddsmile and alter Make absolutely amazing figures but are crazy expensive, deffinatly a case of you get what you pay for. Orchid seed is interesting; they don't have the best production (though they've gotten better) but they have really interesting subject matter and some really good sculpts. Quote
CF18 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 "up" is there, but usually covered by the figure itself. http://www2.moeyo.com/img/09/02/11/2/213.html Quote
Kid_Robot Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 This figure is maDDddddd "pedo..." I'd be leary about bringing my daughters (if i ever have any) around someone that "took-a-liking" to that thing... Quote
edwin3060 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Uh huh! So we just had a big hulabaloo over nothing how macrossworld is that? Quote
Cent Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Damn. Good job to Megahouse, getting everything right XD. Guess there's nothing left to be picky over anymore Quote
VFTF1 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I'll be picky about one other thing: I would really prefer if she were poseable. Although - in this case I guess an exception could be made, since it's not so much "Ranka" as a statue of a painting of Ranka ... But in general the one thing I don't like about figures like these are the fact that they are fixed pose... Thank God for Fraulein Revoltech Pete Quote
Cent Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I think fixed posed figures have their own sort of ball-jointless beauty. Its a sort of thing that says: I'm so awesome and sexy, I can't be put in a better pose. And maybe lineart accuracy for MWFers? xD Edited February 18, 2009 by Cent Quote
VFTF1 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I'm not denying the beauty of non-jointed figures that are fixed in anime accurate poses. It's just that I dream of having figures one day that have no joints that are visible and still can move while looking like the fix-posed figures in whatever pose you fix them in. It would be technologicall possible to produce something like this. Kaiyodo is on the right track with their Fraulein series which is getting better and better at covering and masking ungainly joints. I hope that in the near future we will have perfect poseable figures with no visible joints that are scaled at 1:1 - then we can forever be rid of wives, girlfriends and the like. Mwaha ha hah hah.

Letigre Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Goddsmile and alter Make absolutely amazing figures but are crazy expensive, deffinatly a case of you get what you pay for. Alter makes some amazing figures. Their rendition of (Powered-up) Masane from Witchblade is what got me into figures. I also agree about MaxFactory and Megahouse, although I personally give my nod to the former. Quote
VFTF1 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Ok, I've been looking for some place on the forum to ask this and not have it be off topic - and since it's in the title of this topic, I figure it's as good a place as any: What does NSFW stand for? Nude Sexual Foreplay Women? Not Sure For What? New Song For Willow? Never Stand For Wombats? Nuclear Spasmic Forensic Wikan? Sorry for being such a dunce, but I just figured out what IIRC stood for like, yesterday... but this one I can't break the code for no matter how hard I try... Pete Quote

VFTF1 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks. I guess since I'm self employed I never would have guessed that it was "Not Safe For Work"... In my "Office," I have that naked sheryl in the apron making Pine salad for naked Alto that was in the Character Art Appreciation Thread on my laptop as the wallpaper. My girlfriend is pretty cool about it too whenever we meet. Oh well Now I know, and KIHTB ! Pete Quote

Pete I don't know about that. I think I still prefer Melanie Griffith over Pamela Gidley, though both woman and android are deliciously hot back in those days. Ouch! And yes, I've seen RealDolls before. And no, I have no wish to be like that triple-degree Vietnamese-American Macross male fan with overdrew 3 credit card limits to build his own android. Quote

It's nice to know there are Cherry2000 fans out there:) I remember watching that movie over and over when I was in college. It was great... And yes, I've seen RealDolls before. And no, I have no wish to be like that triple-degree Vietnamese-American Macross male fan with overdrew 3 credit card limits to build his own android. I never new about RealDolls - at least not until five minutes ago Those are awesome! And at only 7500 bucks a pop...that's really cheap when you consider the quality of those things. Maybe my girlfriend can get me one eventually as a present The problem with RealDolls though, is that they don't have much of a personality... well - ok - they do - I mean - there's a lot of character in those girls, true - and it's a leap forward - but... you can't really take them out to dinner or dancing. However, I would love to fill the house up with those. In any event - there is a reason to work hard, save and be ambitious after all um... and Ranka 1/8 is cute and great Pete Quote

Cherry 2K, and of course, pre-Sex-in-the-City Kim Cattrall's Mannequin are my 2 favourite sexy B movies. Oh wait, there's a 3rd - Zapped - Heather Thomas. Yummy... I'm already working hard, saving and be ambitious for my GF. Yup. Apparently, GFs are all the same, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Blonde, etc - we call it having the 5 Cs in Singapore - Cash, Car, Credit Card, Country Club membership and a Condo in a posh district. Quote
VFTF1 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I'm lucky enough to have a girlfriend who make 5 times more money than I do, and already has all that stuff. She just loves me cause I make her laugh. Been together 4 or 5 years now and it's great This also means I can focus on making moeny to buy a RealDoll I would even go so far as to have them make a custom Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier - which honestly was the first thing that came to mind, despite the fact that I prefer Ranka as a character and I prefer her songs, and I love Misa and I like Minmey... but just on the face of it - Sheryl seems to be the most perfect fit for transformation into a RealDoll Hm - guess that really does mean I have a low esteem of Sheryl: only good for one thing Pete Quote
