regult Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) after being in Tokyo and browsing through the shelves of anime shops, I just think it's very implausible to see a business-suited Grace standing side by side those girl figures on the shelves, at least not without showing breasts, covered in goo, etc. So a flightsuit version is less implausible and probably more appealing to the target market w/o the need of goo, bra or panties. Honestly, Cathy is not important enough, not compared to Grace anyway, and at least she got her own decals for the 1/72 model but Grace has got nothing. Edited December 24, 2010 by regult
David Hingtgen Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Heck, they could darn-near just put a new head on an existing Klan figure and get a flightsuit Grace. (though, toning down the chest would definitely help--Grace isn't "ludicrous" like Klan)
VF-18S Hornet Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Great pics! Klan looks amazing. I'm trying to resist buying. Get it, GET IT, GET IT
UN Spacy Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 So these are the third wave of Ichiban Kuji figs?
miriya Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Amazing still no Grace figures! There are Ranka and Sheryl in every costume imaginable but not a single Grace, not even gashapon! So strange! Someone ought to commission a garage kit (David).
UN Spacy Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 More Banpresto movie figures. http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam/article?mid=62786 http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam/article?mid=62778
UN Spacy Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Megahouse. PLEASE make a 1/8th of Sheryl from that new movie poster.
pud333 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) HLJ has their Macross Frontier sale on right now. Up to 80% off. Picked up all three of the 1/100 figures. I know they're a pain, but at $20-$25 a pop, that's not bad. They have some statues and figurines of the female characters in their sale. Edited December 29, 2010 by pud333
UN Spacy Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Banpresto's Black/White Bunny figure is out. http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-144389-1-1.html
mechaninac Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Very nice looking figure overall but there is something off about her face, specially the eyes; she looks... startled.
pud333 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Not into statues, but that is nice. Really wish someone would release a fully articulate Sheryl. I'd buy that no problems.
ff95gj Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 It looks much better than the official pictures! Though the Megahouse/1kuji products are superior IMHO. The price is surely different though.
Major Focker Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 It looks much better than the official pictures! Though the Megahouse/1kuji products are superior IMHO. The price is surely different though. i was prepared to skip this one until you posted those pictures. still not yet fully convinced so i'll have to see it in person before pulling the trigger. is the cape removable this time?
ff95gj Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 As far as I can tell... Besides the base stand, there is nothing I can remove/detach.
UN Spacy Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam/article?mid=62786 http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam/article?mid=62778 Megahouse really needs to start making MacrossF figures again.
ff95gj Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I used to like the Banpresto Sheryl's; however this time I am disappointed. Hopefully it's just the picture. But I don't like the costume from the start. Oh well. (Removable to display in swimsuit mode? Hmm...) Edited January 26, 2011 by ff95gj
VF-18S Hornet Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I managed to snag the Black Bunny Sheryl from Ebay last week, will be in tomorrow. Edited February 8, 2011 by VF-18S Hornet

VF-18S Hornet Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Got the Black Bunny in on Tuesday as expected, sorry it took long had to go to my second job plus geting my photos organzined and sorted also took long I got tired and went to bed. Plus I had a hard time getting the figure on it's base, at one time I had it standing on it own without the head sacrf on of course, but I finally got it on with a little force. By the way does anyone know what that sword like thing that connects to her left boot is for? Box: looking for a place to display bumming it with fellow Ichiban fig Klang stand on it own w/o scarf Finally on the base right. hello boys.
nanoplasm Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 It looks much better than the official pictures! Though the Megahouse/1kuji products are superior IMHO. The price is surely different though. Maybe it's just me calling sour grapes, but after the excitement of seeing the original concept art back in October last year, I was not impressed by how the face turned out for the Banpresto prize.
UN Spacy Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the shots VF-18S Hornet and congrats on your purchase. I gotta agree with nanoplasm here. Previews looked GREAT...but what happened to her face?

It's not sour grapes... It surely is sub-standard as a figure. Just to be fair, it's selling cheap too. However I am willing to pay more for a Megahouse level product.
VF-18S Hornet Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I had the same reaction, I saw the picture of the pre-production Figure on the box and the current figure does not look like it. It's like they went with a different face artist from the original guy whom did a great job. Finally found a good spot Edited February 12, 2011 by VF-18S Hornet

Previews looked GREAT...but what happened to her face? Aaaah sorry! I was referring to December SQ Black X White bunny for the UFO machine. ^ The 1kuji Black bunny is actually much better than the SQ X-over bunny IMO. I had the same reaction, I saw the picture of the pre-production Figure on the box and the current figure does not look like it. It's like they went with a different face artist from the original guy whom did a great job. 1KUJI black bunny = Good! Dec UFO X-over bunny = meh!

However I am willing to pay more for a Megahouse level product. The concept of the x-over bunny figure is pure win. I hope they release a similiar one with improved quality It's a shame that so much effort was put into the finger nails, hair, and details on the clothing, it's injustice what they did to her face.
ff95gj Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Or even how they reproduced the x-over in 3d is amazing. I am impressed. Alas, they fail in the most important department. The face of a figure.
s001 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Anyone knows what size are the Banpresto display mini VF-25s???
nanoplasm Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Anyone knows what size are the Banpresto display mini VF-25s??? If you mean the 1kuji SD prizes, the Armored Ozma custom is 3.5" in battroid mode.
UN Spacy Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Oh Megahouse...where are thou? Whilst thee grace our presence with thee divine sculptures of Macross Frontier lore? Translation: DAMINT Megahouse! Give us more figs!!!
Jasonc Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Damn, I'm getting behind. I still need the black bunny Sheryl figure.
Robelwell202 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Damn, I'm getting behind. I still need the black bunny Sheryl figure. You and me, both. I really want one!

nanoplasm Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Damn, I'm getting behind. I still need the black bunny Sheryl figure. You and me, both. I really want one! Go for the dokidoki color edition black bunny. I will hook you up Edited February 13, 2011 by nanoplasm

UN Spacy Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Awesome. I wasn't expecting the vignette to be a figure. http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=BOK-3792&template=default/product/e_display.html
