So, what's the difference between A and D? Colors, details, stand? Just the box?

It's the same nothing different. Just why they made it a Double Chance Variant, I have no idea and how to get one either..

Edit: I think the box will have D and not the A.

10 units that have a different letter on the box, but are otherwise identical?

Sounds like a production error 

I anticipate them selling for completely obtuse prices.

Production error is not the reason why they did it.  See my post on October 14th (Second one I think).

Oh, I know it's intentional, it just sounds like the sort of thing that would happen due to a production error.

The Sitting EXQ Sheryl is up for sale (or pre-order?) on Amazon Japan (2 copies as of now). Note that it will cost you 6.4k yen or less depending on where you're located.

Edit: So there is a slight difference between the Version A and Version C and this vid will till you. This collector has all three has all three versions. Cut to roughly 21:10 for all three version of Sheryl.

I'm going to include two more vids that I found as well.

What is the difference? I'm not seeing it.

All I got was no cape and a different bow.

[eXis10z]

Oh my mistake, is A and C. I saw it as A and B.

It seems like Versions A and C of the Spirits Kuji Sheryl are the quickest sellers. 

If anyone has their Spirits Kuji Sheryl already, please post pics up. Let's see if this version of Sheryl is up to everyone's expectations (based on the reviews I've seen so far on Youtube, this is worth the purchase).

For those who are interested in getting the sitting version of EXQ Sheryl, I did more digging and found out that it will be released on December 12th.

I found three pics of the Spirits Kuji Sheryl [ All from this website - https://www.pikbee.me/tag/マクロスf ]

Credit to all the people that posted it. All the three variants are posted and the last one is too cute not to share.

Incoming Figure Spirits Kuji Sheryl Nome pics (Got Version B as I mentioned).

Note that used the flash in the first and the last pic is the stand.

How's the paint/mould quality?

Still waiting on my C variant to show up on this end.

This is the version of Sheryl that one should really get into their collection. The paint in my copy is not too bad (not the best as there's a few spots that could need more blending as you'll see it when you get it on hand) except for the wand as it's not fully painted in the bronze (?) colour as the black mold shows up in spots here and there.

Watch out for the translucent soft skirt (hands, loose hair curls, crown, wand tie and tight bows) as it's made from a softer pliable plastic . The bow and the hair tie is feels a bit stiffer.

As per Cartman's famous quote on South Park goes... "You bastard!"

Can you post pics and your thoughts upon receiving it @Lolicon if possible? I'll poke around on the web and YouTube for reviews. I have a feeling that you'll beat me to it.

Got my Figure Spirits Kuji Sheryl ver C in yesterday, definitely the best sculpt of the 3 Sheryls I have.

The eyes on this one aren’t great. Not sure what they were trying to archive with pupils that take up her whole eye. Prototype photo had smaller pupils (still big but less taking up the entire eye)

LOL well I'm sure you can find plenty of Japanese reviews long before my slow SAL pack arrives.

Mine just arrived too but haven't had time to open it or the stack of Amazon boxes by the front door. Maybe I'll open that first when I get home so I can compare with past Sheryls... 

[eXis10z]

Just won the yahoo auction for ver. C. Hope the festivities won't delay the delivery too much.

[borgified]

I believe that these are the official Banpresto EXQ Sheryl Nome Version 2 pics and found them after digging through the web.

From Dengeki Hobby webpage:  https://hobby.dengeki.com/reviews/672161/

Here are all the pics on the site itself.

Edit: It's a reasonable representation of Sheryl Nome IMHO. Note that these are different from Noel's post a few pages back.

Just received this. That explains the high postage I paid. 

[kajnrig]

That looks like From Japan. Yay/nay?

Usually they're good about sizing boxes to fit. That's kind of ridiculous. Someone was feeling really lazy.

Yes.

Finally had some time to open up the most recent Sheryl figure. It's been awhile since we got a really nice Sheryl figure (the previous game prize release was, well, definitely game prize quality).

10 years on and we're still getting good Frontier figures, but hardly anything from Delta? I guess we should be thankful we didn't get a terrible VF-31 line followed by a renewal line. 

Comes in a pretty big box.

Bandai, why would you make a box with an opening cover and a window to see the contents, only to tape the cover shut?

This Sheryl sculpt is way better than the last release and actually looks like Sheryl.

Back side

Looks good close up but you can see the imperfections on her. Fairly par for the course as Ichiban figures aren't on the same level as full retail figure releases.

[Sanity is Optional]

So, I was flashing a blacklight over some of my model kits, and noticed that the pink and gold filigree fluoresces.

Here's the best I can image it with my phone camera and crappy blacklight. It looks much more impressive in person.

[eXis10z]

Wow that looks awesome!

[borgified]

I managed to find one review for the EXQ Sheryl Nome Version 2.

That ending is what it's actually designed for (like the two Delta girls Maki Maki and Fre Fre)?

Sold out but it doesn't look like a $30 figure to me so oh well. Still hoping for the SHF version.
