You have to admit she looks gorgeous, right? Very cool, do the heads just pop off or did it require some modding? Quote
derex3592 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I believe there was a line called "Beach Queens" - Can't remember the manufacturer. Quote

You have to cut the head off. And fill the hole with some putty and paint on Minmay's head once you remove the white head dress from her Sheryl's costume. 11 minutes ago, derex3592 said: I believe there was a line called "Beach Queens" - Can't remember the manufacturer.

Using that logic, this figure is worth adding to our Mospeada collections: What's more, it's not even true. There are other Zentraedi alternatives... albeit even worse than MEP's. Honestly, if it's sub-par crap or nothing, I'll stick with nothing. It's cheaper and easier on the eyes. Quote

Non-release of Britai by Bandai = epic fail. Quote
Lolicon Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Minmay figure from Wonderfest. Looks around 1/8 scale. Totally want this figure. Quote
Lolicon Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Life-sized Sheryl and Ranka from awhile back, featured again at Wonderfest. Curious how much they will end up costing. Would seriously consider getting them if the price is right... Quote

borgified Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 @Lolicon - From your post of the Flashback 2010 Minmay, I'm taking its the Plamax version in which you have to assemble it together. Somehow this version of Minmay looks better in my eyes (others will have their preferences). Quote

sh9000 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 If it were smaller I’d want one to go with the HMR VF-4. Quote

I do love that Flashback short and song. She's not on MFC yet. I hope she's not a one off. Quote

onnasake Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I think I saw that the Flashback Minmei is gonna be 15000 yen. I only have one Minmei figure. It's small, but it works for me. The CM Corps trading figure from about 15 years ago: I picked it up for a few hundred yen in Akihabara a few years ago. Quote

Convectuoso Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I'd love to see color prototypes of those Zentraedi figures Quote

sh9000 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Those are test prints. The actual Zentradi figures will be articulated and come with the tiny figures. Britai’s ship in 1/40000 scale is the bonus item that will come with the Britai figure. Quote
borgified Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Anyone looking for the Spirits Kuji Nome in Blue (others are sold out)? Here's two locations that have it with a price difference, take your pic in which location. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1106456571&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=マクロス spirits kuji&lang=en Quote
sh9000 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Final revision of Britai’s ship. The first 100 preorders of Britai will come with the ship. Preorders start on 3/5. Quote
