The Galactic Fairy stands 21cm tall, and she's ready to appear live and in person in your collection today! •All thumbnails are clickable, and will provide a bigger picture at res. of 800x600pixels. I didn't manage to get the Banpresto figurine of Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee, and well, it's good I waited further. Since there's this figurine that got released. And it can be displayed in 2 modes. Ultra CoOl. Bought it as shown, And here's the packaging pics. Note the usual "BIGWEST" sticker on the box? Anyway, without further ado, let's rip it! The front and back of the plastic trays Opening up the trays,
valentin Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Slowly taking apart the figurine... And the rest of the parts off the trays... The parts do have a nice and snug fit. Of course, please use the usual care in slowly taking them apart. One thing is, parts of the clothing do have pegs similar like when assembling snapfast model kits/gundam model kits. So do take care when (dis)assembling this figurine. Now, let's take a look at the base. It's totally transparent, and comes with Sheryl's signature on it. And the neat thing is that the signature is printed on the underside of the base, so no worries about accidentally rubbing it off on top. Now, let's take a look at Sheryl's costume during her concert.
valentin Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 And her next change of costume... I have collected some PVC figurines in the past(Gundam Seed Destiny's RAHDX, GITS:SAC, etc), and this is one extremely detailed figure. Even with the swappable parts, the details are indeed flawless. The essence of Sheryl Nome during her concert is very much captured in this figurine. And before I end off, here's some more random pics with a certain background... Thanks for reading. :wink:
Golden Arms Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Nice pics. I can't wait for mine to arrive.
Joz Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Excellent! Sheryl Nome came in the post on Friday. I am quite pleased the quality of it and do recommend it if one is a PVC figure collector, though I do wonder if they will release an alternate red version? Might be a job for the customizers out there? I with Sheryl out of the box, I also took the opportunity to take a pic of Minmay (CM's Corporation, released earlier this year). It sits neatly next to my DYRL? VF-1S's I look forward to the Megahouse Ranka Lee in November.
anime52k8 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Got mine around noon today, took a few pictures of the box but my battery was going dead so I have to put off taking pics. I'll upload a nice big picture set once it gets late enough to shoot some stuff (extra late tonight or tomorrow). I'll go over some finer points of the figure once I upload pics. First impressions are overall positive although there are a few little snags here and there. Also as a heads up to anyone who hasn't gotten theirs yet, the part that makes up the whip is made from a very thin brittle piece of plastic. be VERY careful when handling it (i.e. when inserting it into the handle) because it can easily break.
wolfx Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 These were spotted at the C3 Hobby Show....thanks to Cybergundam for the pics. If they are doing this Sheryl, i hope they will do the "Hard On" Ranka.
macrossnake Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 These were spotted at the C3 Hobby Show....thanks to Cybergundam for the pics. Lot of pic in here. Sheryl http://www.moeyo.com/2009/08/chara_hobby_macross_sheryl.html Ranka http://www.moeyo.com/2009/08/chara_hobby_macross_ranka.html As much as I dislike the 'over the top' posting from Sheryl, it is a nice sculpture, hair looks great too. Ranka might looks a little skiny... hard to say without any paint job.
the_foul_fowl Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 (continued from here ) Took a single shot of Alto cos I think there're lots of photos floating around. Very nice matt finish. I wonder if the control pod will have more detail though. Next: From cabaret to prophecy
Kicker773 Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 is there a definite on the red version of that? If there is I'd rather wait.
ff95gj Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 You'd rather wait for the M. Bison variant? Or a Sheryl-outfit variant for M. Bison.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 oh im in love with this new sheryl sculpt... ill have her nestled on the back of a valk in fighter mode! sucks that im addicted to sheryl when i should be buyin valks instead of figs
blacklotus Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Lot of pic in here. Sheryl http://www.moeyo.com/2009/08/chara_hobby_macross_sheryl.html Ranka http://www.moeyo.com/2009/08/chara_hobby_macross_ranka.html As much as I dislike the 'over the top' posting from Sheryl, it is a nice sculpture, hair looks great too. Ranka might looks a little skiny... hard to say without any paint job. Thanks for the links. OMG! The Sheryl's prototype has her hot pants so tight that I can see her cameltoe. Then again, so was May Nakabayashi's (May'N) hot pants during her mini-concert promotion in Singapore last year. And yeah, she was wearing a black pair too. So yeah, art is a reflection of real life after all. Edited August 31, 2009 by blacklotus

Sagittarius @ 9PM - Don't Be Late! I dunno if they'll ever make the "Bison" version, (or a Sheryl outfit for Bison - lol! - good one) but I used some Photoshop trickery and mocked this up for us.

Thanks for the effort. BTW, I have a special feeling this red version will be a hobby japan magazine mail-in exclusive order, just like a lot of 2P color Queen's Blade figures, and the green-hair color Monster Ranka Lee. Anyway, that means I can save money since I know alot of sellers like playasia will jack up prices to 2x or more for these items, and I never pay more than SRP anymore.
sharky Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks everyone for the pics. Mine's on the way, and now I can't wait after seeing the pics.
Ghost Train Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 New photos of "cannon shell" Megahouse Sheryl http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-107306-1-1.html Definitely 2 calibers, /nosebleed.
UN Spacy Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Don't Be Late Sheryl finally arrived from A-E (it took exactly one week). I am very, very, VERY impressed with Megahouse's efforts on this one. The sculpt is everything I've expected in a Sheryl Nome figure. The cast off clothing is handled very well. But make sure that you are careful when separating the tabs (especially underneath her arm pits) because it takes a bit of coaxing to make sure they stay in place. Everything needs to be exactly in the correct place to ensure a tight fit. The paint applications are superb as I didn't notice any imperfections. Nevertheless. I'd give this figure a 9.5 out of 10.

VFTF1 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 That new Sheryl 1/8 NA figure is a dream come true It's the perfect embodyment of her passion, her showmanship and her playfulness. So far, I've only just managed to acquire a 1/5 Yoko from Gurren Lagann... (pics when I get it!) ... But I hope that I manage to get this one and the 1/8 Ranka In the end, Ranka just doesn't do as well in skimpy sexy poses (Monster Girl)... she's better off being a cute bubbly waitress or prancing around in her big boots and nice dress .... Sheryl on the other hand is perfect in these kind of get ups and poses Pete
macrossnake Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I get most of them, but what's with cowgirl Sheryl and the fish? It said that is Movie version collection. Maybe a new scene aboout Sheryl and a fish?!

But I read she uses bust-pads as well. ^ _ ^ Edited September 10, 2009 by blacklotus
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) ahh, i think i'm goig to have to stop, this sheryl (bullet porno time version) is fantasic, but it's sapping money for valks. Thing is i am slowly paying off my 28cm Sheryl, and i regard that and the Megahouse Sheryl just released as the ultimate. Hell how easy it will be to do the same poses and more lol *looks around the room* >';] don't need it. I need my VF-11B's!!!! Edited September 10, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
regult Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 that fish seems to be one of those popular red bean desserts...don't remember seeing such thing in the TV series, maybe in the movie version as speculated?
