spanner Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Still cool but kinda odd & creepy looking.. They dont really look so much like Ranka & Sheryl but more like models of cosplayers dressed up them like them! Yeah definitely a pass for me.. Quote

Murphy Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 It says ichiban kuji, isn't that banpresto. Quote
Jasonc Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 My wallet's telling me no, but my mind is telling me yes... for all of it. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Might be down for the Banpresto figures, I already have another Sheryl and Minmay - the New Orleans versions and both are nice enough figures (I don't collect them so my opinion is pretty limited). -b. Quote
Saburo Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I had the rule of only robots and no character figures, but now that I have broken that rule with the Yamato Girls, looks like I'll need to pick up some Macross figures too. The new Banpresto figures are nice. I was looking at the Figuarts Zero Ranka Lee Glowing Red ver and Figuarts ZERO Sheryl Nome Shining Blue Ver, I wanted to ask members thoughts on these figures? Also any suggestions on a nice Minmay Figure (DRYL outfit and not insanely priced)? Edited October 27, 2014 by Saburo Quote
Loop Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Minmay figures are so hard to find. The best one imo was the one that was sold by CM's if I am correct. I think Save had a listing of the CM's corp liquidation sale and there were some on there, but they came out to like $90 without a box. Quote

I was on the same idea when I re-started my Macross collecting but then my misses got me a small Minmay figure and its just snowballed from there! I have about a dozen Macross girls (Minmay, Mylene, Ranka & Sheryl) at the moment, 4 of the Yamato girls and a Kurisu Makise figure from Steins Gate. A few of those figures have been upwards of $200 and between them all its been a significant outlay! But they are all stunningly gorgeous things and wouldn't trade em for anything! So yeah bring em on! Quote

Thank you for the information Loop, I guess I'll start with Sheryl and Ranka and go from there. I'll search around for a Minmay and hopefully it won't break the bank.

I thought you had the whole set already!? unless you're talking about the alternate color versions..? which ones are coming? Quote

I almost have the complete set of the retail release Yamato Girls. I am missing Hilde Schultz, Mori Yuki (yellow suit pose A) and the other bridge girl Saijo Miki. As for the 2 that are coming they are not the ones listed. I'll leave it at that, but I am excited to get them. I'll post photos when I am done with the photoshoot.

I still only have Mori Yuki, Akira Yamamoto (my fav!), Harada Makoto & Nimi Kaoru.. and the Captain but he doesn't count cos he just ain't sexy.. thought I'd include a pic.. hung up the Yamato with fishing line so I could get rid of that awful base it comes with.. looks so much better on display without it!

I just got message from my friend who visiting Japan and I secured a another Yamato girl. No Valks this month for me but a bunch of Yamato stuff. I am happy , but my wallet is taking another beating. Very nice display! Akira is my number 1 fav then its Melda, I have a thing for ace female fighter pilots . I was considering getting Captain Okita to be displayed along side of Yamato, but he's on the back burner. Edited October 28, 2014 by Saburo Quote

I did pre-order the Mori Yuki (flight suit version) but the expression on her face does not look good so I cancelled.. I might try pickup another color variation of Akira instead! the one in the white suit with long hair! very sexy lookin! Captain Okita is cool to have.. goes well with the ship.

anime52k8 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 alternate outfit for DD Sheryl announced <3 http://www.plastikitty.com/home/volks-announces-a-second-outfit-for-dd-sheryl-nome Quote
technoblue Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) alternate outfit for DD Sheryl announced <3 http://www.plastikitty.com/home/volks-announces-a-second-outfit-for-dd-sheryl-nome Nice. For some reason the new outfit does a better job with Sheryl's likeness than the original. In the original photos with Ranka, I was getting a very good vibe from Ranka's figure, but Sheryl's looked odd. Maybe it was the hair? Edit: Nope. DD Sheryl has a different face than I was expecting. Comparing the different hair styles in the photos highlights the difference in the figure's design and makes the look more uncanny to me. The child-like face on DD Ranka seems better suited to my expectations. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I love the outfits! Edited November 2, 2014 by technoblue Quote
Murphy Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 So is anyone going to do a pre-ordered for the Dollie dream Sheryl & ranka? I never bought one so I don't know where to start. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 actually, I'm not sure how pre-orders are gonna work. these are always sold directly from volks web store, and usually you can get them through their US site, but given macross licensing shenanigans, you may have to find some kind of proxy.

abbadon Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I can't get started on these! I still have a backlog of Valks to chase. Must... Resist... Quote
Jasonc Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 This might be a bit of a challenge getting all this straight from their website. Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 ...and Ranka-chan also gets an alternative. Quote
