anime52k8 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 More new Macross frontier figures from MegaHouse here. OMG CUTE! 0.0 it's nice to know Megahouse is doing more macross figures (there work is some of the best out there). First we got micro Klan, now Ranka, when they going to be done with the loli's and get to some real women. I want to see sheryl and her hopes and dreams, I know Megahouse is good at that kind of stuff, I've seen them do it before. also Grace and her despair and nightmares would be nice too. Quote
anime52k8 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) there's more Ruri figures than anyone else because she's the most popular. (and most of those figures are of her as she appears when she's about 17 so technically not loli) :edit: by the way, what we really need is Sheryl from episode 3 with anime accurate cast off...

Cent Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Grace was one of the sexiest women in Frontier. Too bad they had to turn her into a neurotic psychopathic bitch . Killed it for me. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I thought the psychoticness was kind of hot, in a messed up creepy sort of way. Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Grace was one of the sexiest women in Frontier. Too bad they had to turn her into a neurotic psychopathic bitch I found Grace to be about as sexually appealing as generic female accountant whose personal life revolves around counting assets in the dead of the night. I think she was the perfect "sleeper villain" - insofar as she was such a bit of wallpaper as to hardly have made a connection as a character. When she turned out to be the villain, I wasn't like "oh no! Hot sexy wonderful Grace is evil?" - but rather like: "Huh? That seemingly unimportant rock behind the garbage can from episode three has suddenly morphed into one of the main characters from the cast?" I found her male-disguise (didn't know it was her then) to be more interesting as a character and half hoped that he (turns out she) would be developed more as some kind of spy (although - the dress code and dark glasses kind of gave him/her away:) )... But...anyways...sexually appealing? Grace? Nope. Sheryl was good looking, Ranka was utterly gorgeous, Klan-Klan I just didn't like (this actually makes three for three. None of the "big" Zendradi have ever been in my "wow what a babe" list - not Milia, not Emilia, not Klan - just something too perfect/bio-engineered about them)... And Grace, who is ultimately AI also did not appeal to me. Hm... seems to be a pattern here. Bio-genetically engineered women and android-women do not arouse me sexually. Ergo: every woman who I don't find super attractive MUST therefore either be an android, or be bio-engineered I guess I like natural girls Pete Quote
edwin3060 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 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 Given that this is nose-art, the intention is probably that she is taking her bra off.

Cent Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Ranka - Funny cute Klan Klan - Just funny Macro Klan - Uh... Not funny. Not really cute. Just overdone. Sheryl - Pretty Grace - Hot, better mannered Sheryl, complete with tentacles. It's not even fair! Ram - Hot Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I guess I like natural girls Pete if that's what you want to call it Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I think we're all still waiting for a 1:1 inflatable Misa wtf? I read it somewhere on the board... I thought at least someone would remember it... Quote
505thAirborne Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I think I remember that old posting too, and even then I was like wtf? Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I think I remember that old posting too, and even then I was like wtf? I have to find that again... I agree, though, about 1:1 Misa... Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Guys - I wrote the post about the 1:1 inflatable Misa And I think you should take it just as seriously as my post about the Yamato VT-1 coming with a 1:1 inflatable Minmey with built in oral massage motor mechanism Pete Quote

And I do take it all very seriously Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Does it say anywhere (can't read original Japanese) on the ad/poster from the first post WHEN it is going to come out? Like what month? Pete Quote
Project Phoenix Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Does it say anywhere (can't read original Japanese) on the ad/poster from the first post WHEN it is going to come out? Like what month? Pete End of May according to the picture. Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks I'm definitely gonna get her She'll look great with Minmey and Yoko Pete Quote
Kyp Durron Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 What I'm moe interested to know is... is the swimsuit removable? Doesn't matter too much, the only thing she has to show are mosquito bites anyways. -Kyp Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 yeah, nothing but mozzie bites, i'm gonna pass, bring more Sheryl out dammit. Quote
CF18 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 It will also come with a background stand. Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 So cool And in the up close shot we see that the undies are cannon - so there Pete Quote
edwin3060 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 It will also come with a background stand. Nooooo! SK just made his worst retcon ever! He retconned the underwear into the picture on the lower left corner! Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Nooooo! SK just made his worst retcon ever! He retconned the underwear into the picture on the lower left corner! I honestly think the undies were always cannon. It's just that the string is so thin that you can't see it at an angle in the screne shots we get from the series However - it is true that this is an urgent and important issue. We should dedicate more time and effort to the burning question of whether the undies are cannon or not. It'll make or break whether this statue is a viable collectors item. Pete Quote
miriya Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 This figure is really well done. It is just a little too lolicon for me though. Quote

Pete I would say that in this case, less is more Quote
adrianop Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Its a nice figure, but I am not a fan of showing alot of skin. I like my pvc figs classy. Why couldnt they just start of with her with the white uniform/yellow dress/concert dresses? Quote
EXO Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I dont understand why Canalia would want that on her ship and then Ozma to approve it as leader of the SMS squadron... weird fetish bullcrap. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Ugh, every time I think about this thread I get all skeevy feeling. Stinkin' lolicons! I really wish they hadn't loli'd up Macross. Vostok 7 Quote
Letigre Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Well it was more innocent [just a teensy bit] when it was in 2D form..I don'y think it was intedned as statue subject by any means. Not that I understand how Ozma approved of it in the show. (And maybe slightly OT, was Ozma the Quarter's CAG? I didn't think he was more than the squadron leader...) Quote

Not that I understand how Ozma approved of it in the show. (And maybe slightly OT, was Ozma the Quarter's CAG? I didn't think he was more than the squadron leader...) 1: It's tradition to make the best pilot (At the beginning) the CAG. 2: It's tradition to make Yellow the CAG. 3: He's the leader of the only VF squadron stationed on the carrier, thus the CAG. 4: He's also the leader of the only VF Air Team on the carrier. Honestly, I don't care how loli Ranka is, that's a tradition in Macross. Quote
Cent Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Lolis are a tradition in Macross? Since when. Quote
em.gg Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Lolis are a tradition in Macross? Since when. lol... um lynn minmay? she was 15 when the series started... ranka's atleast 16... Mylene was even younger at 14...Mao was 11 in Zero... Quote
Cent Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 ..... Minmay was not flat. At least.. Thats not how I remember her. I don't even think drawing lolis was popular then. Mylene wasn't loli either. Mao was loli for sure... But she wasn't the main war-altering singer, that was Sara. Quote

Mylene wasn't loli either. Mao was loli for sure... But she wasn't the main war-altering singer, that was Sara. if ur definition of loli is liking flat-chested/prepubescent girls, regardless of age that's true (which is probably how most define it; ex. kodomo no jikan is prob a series that most people would associate as loli)...but for me i guess the age still matters...but with anime, it of course a little more removed from reality. plus in anime the way characters interact, it makes you forget they're actually supposed to be teenagers. As for Mylene, don't get me wrong, she's one of my favorite macross characters, but I dunno some of the official art and even the end themes my friends and dakedo baby had pretty suggestive images for someone that's supposed to be 14..that was something that really struck me when the series came out years ago when i was in highschool...then again it depends how you define loli and certainly mylene was not drawn to look child like...but she did act a little childish sometimes... edit - i guess with my initial post i probably should have added that for the most part every macross series has always had a young female main character, who is sometimes subject to some fan service- so perhaps loli is not the right word to use here...
