I am liking the Ranka and Sheryl in performance costume version. These might be the first Macross girls I pick up, with the exception of the Nendoroid Petite Macross girls I have already. :D

Thanks. I got these items here in Japan. They're little bit expensive coz I bought them in Akihabara as loose items, no boxes/packs.

Does anyone got any idea what brand are these? Year manufactured?

They are made by CMs Corporation...starting in 2003 or so...there were about 4 sets made I believe...very nice figures...

The Max VF pilot figure is probably the most expensive...it was a chase figure when first released....

The most expensive "set" would be the Minmay set which included the Hikaru and Minmay "photo" diorama....I believe that was the last set in the series....

Thanks for the reply.

Now i know why these things are quite pricey. You are right, among the figurines i bought, max was the most expensive. There's few more minmay figurines when i was in the store, but this one is the best in my opinion.

I see thanks for sharing the link

These are stuffs i saw in the stores and were removed from the boxes. Anyway much better they sold to pieces and I can choose which i want.

it's kind of depressing that THIS is about as good as it gets in terms of macross figures for anything outside of frontier.

Some pix I took last week and two weeks before that.

Me 2. I like the darker color. :D

Indeed yes the darker ones look better! B))

Ranka's "cute as a button" factor is simply staggering!! :D

Got my wedding Sheryl figure today, took a couple of very quick shots. Was a little surprised by her weight, a little more than I was expecting with typical PVC figures. The other two (of Sheryl and Ranka) should arrive tomorrow - I think Banpresto did a pretty good job with this new set.

Just ordered these two beauties from NY!!! :o:DB))

Whoa! They're expensive. I think I'll leave them for now and hope they come down a bit.

I over paid for my last Ranka figure (but I didn't care). There's also the space issues...... grrr

*snip*

Wow! :o NY price went up a bit from PO last weekend for about Y2000+ more. I was hoping that this is around like $60 a piece. Been wanting to have a decent and not so 'provocative' Sheryl and Ranka figs for so long now. But not sure though what to say to the wifey when she sees it if ever. Hahaha! :lol:

Anyways, congrats spanner! ;)

Yeah I know they were a little on the expensive side but I had some left over money in my collectibles budget account before the next round of savings begins and I have eyeballed these two girls for a while now..

I know they will most likely show up on Mandarake eventually but I'd rather pay a bit more to get and enjoy them sooner!

Several anime figures I too have over paid on but then others I have got at pretty good deals which kinda balances it all out.. roughly.. kinda sorta..

And yes Noel you are right its definitely nice to get a decent far less provocative Sheryl for a change as most of her stuff has been either a bit tacky or far too sexually revealing.

As a result I only have two Sheryl figures.. in my collection Ranka out numbers her 4 to 1!

Try to get them on Mandarake - they were much cheaper. Got Sheryl for 8000 yen and Ranka for 6000 yen.

Both came in today, took some quick shots too.

Definitely wasn't expecting so much "fan service" on these two figures. Guess I've only been looking at them from the front in all the preview photos and never paid attention to what they looked like from behind. lol

Very vibrant colours though, definitely liking how they turned out. <3

WOW!!! they are both gorgeous figures! really looking forward to receiving mine!

Many of the other Macross figures I have also have the "fan service" factor about them but its done quite tastefully and not ever unnecessarily revealing.

Makes them very display friendly and won't get you weird looks from people who visit your house!

Great photos! thanks for posting them!
