Graham Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Well, she's still a 16 year-old teen. I think that means she's under legal age in most parts of the world, except Japan and France. So think of the stars as nipple tape. The age of consent in UK is 16, as it is in a great many countries around the world. From a quick bit of online research, it seems that in the US although it varies from state to state, in many states the age of consent is also 16. See: Age of consent around the world. So if she was a real person, Sheryl would be legal in many countries. As she's not a real person, it's sort of a moot point. Graham
anime52k8 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) As she's not a real person, it's sort of a moot point. Graham the US appeals court and the British parliament beg to differ. "20 Years for Loli Manga: “Victims Don’t Have to Exist” UK Bans Loli: "all Children are victims" (It's Sankaku so super NSFW.) conincidentally the US and the UK have the 9th and 13th highest per capita rape rates in the world respectively (Austraila and Canada rank 3rd and 5th) anyways... so who's looking forward to that sheryl figure? (I finally had the spare cash to pre-order from overdrive today.) Edited June 24, 2009 by anime52k8
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 bleh rankaaaaaa, more sheryl! thanks for the pics though.
ff95gj Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 The craftmanship is overally good, but the face doesn't look like the anime Ranka to me.
Major Focker Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 i think sheryl will look awesome in that red chinese dress.. actually, she'll look awesome in any dress maybe even moreso without any at all... ok, ok, i should go to bed. it's been a loooong day.
regult Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 More coming... Action doll: looks better than the Sheryl version, anime-accurate wise... Nyan-nyan tuna buns: captures the essence of some promotional material out there, but could use some more facial anime accuracy! Still, I am a bit tempted to get this one! Which magazine are these scans from? I am not good at pinpointing Japanese hobby magazines.
shiroikaze Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) oooh nice nyan nyan version. Who's the maker? Reading the tiny text: Both are produced by Megahouse. Edited June 25, 2009 by shiroikaze

(I finally had the spare cash to pre-order from overdrive today.) Just to add, I believe some laddies in Australia or Britain or USA got arrested for importing loli manga from Japan. Lost the BBC links, but I believed it was reported by BBC online.

BTW, quite a number of entries in that link are obsolete due to a number of changes in the laws of the countries involved to cut down child prostitution. Even Japan (or at least Tokyo) is pretty strict about paying a high school girl for sex dates. It still happens, but they're making arrests more common now. (Prostitution is ILLEGAL in Japan, but not soaplands. Go figure. )
Lethalzero Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 ranka is lovely in that little red chinese dress... to me ranka is like a little sister and sheryl is my hot girlfriend....
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?p...RESIN+MODEL+KIT Nice, even cast off. I won't be getting it though, i'll be getting the 28cm....
anime52k8 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?p...RESIN+MODEL+KIT Nice, even cast off. I won't be getting it though, i'll be getting the 28cm.... I've got to say, that is the WORST head sculpt I've seen on a Sheryl figure yet. also it's a resin kit I hate building those. You had me worried for a second, I was starting to regret ordering the Megahouse Sheryl before it' even released. (I would love a Sheryl figure in her "star date" outfit, but not this one)
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Yeah Mike it is rather off, but it's hard to resist Sheryl goodness. lol, i'm so addicted it's not funny. Noticed this one as well, are they copying Banprestos??? - http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?p...RESIN+MODEL+KIT Edited July 6, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie

Bri Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 No problems with Grace in that regard---she's older than she looks. She will always claim to be seventeen though The age of consent in UK is 16, as it is in a great many countries around the world. [...] As she's not a real person, it's sort of a moot point. Graham Yea, age of consent has nothing to do with figures, nude or not. the US appeals court and the British parliament beg to differ. "20 Years for Loli Manga: “Victims Don’t Have to Exist” UK Bans Loli: "all Children are victims" (It's Sankaku so super NSFW.) conincidentally the US and the UK have the 9th and 13th highest per capita rape rates in the world respectively (Austraila and Canada rank 3rd and 5th) anyways... so who's looking forward to that sheryl figure? (I finally had the spare cash to pre-order from overdrive today.) The joys of the Anglo-saxon world's attitudes towards sexuality... Still I wish there would be a less tacky Sheryl figure, I think she took over Britney's stylists... Wouldn't mind a kimono figure from the episodes at Alto's fathers place. The Ranka one in school uniform with Ai-kun looks great.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Bahh britney, could be worse, she could tailor after Lady GaGa. love her music tho!

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Petit range is kinda like SD i believe. That Ranka, is beautiful, i'll be picking up that one for sure. (NyanNyan outfit) Edited July 7, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
blacklotus Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the news! Are they all super deformed figures? From the name of the products, I believe so. They're either SD (petite) or kiddie (harf "half" age) version. No problems ruskiiVFaussie. I was also looking for the pics. Hobbysearch sometimes post the pics a day later after the pre-order listing. Edited July 7, 2009 by blacklotus
ff95gj Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks for the info. I am still wishing for regular MF characters... Ozma... Catherine... Luca (yes I need him to have a complete Skull squad)... Nanase... Pilot suit Michael... Or at least SMS jacket. A couple more Klan Klans... Micro and macro...

Yeah mate, thanks for your site, this one will be in the top 3, alongside ToysDaily and www.1999.
blacklotus Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Yeah mate, thanks for your site, this one will be in the top 3, alongside ToysDaily and www.1999. I guess I will buy the Nyan Nyan Ranka Lee to accompany my cheong-sam dressed Miss China (Spirit of Wonder). But with so many other hot stuff coming along down the pipeline (VFs galore, Queens Blade galore), I have to pass on the petite ones. Edited July 7, 2009 by blacklotus
anime52k8 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) OMG SO CUTE!!! MUST HAVE!!! on a semi-related note, since we're getting a non-chibi version of Ranka based off the launch ceremony poster, I hope that means they'll make one of Sheryl in that china dress. HOLLY SH*T HOT! Edited July 7, 2009 by anime52k8
