Jasonc Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I really wish I had ordered these. If you end up not liking them let me know. I get another Sheryl at the end of December, so I'm most likely going to be selling that one. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 A guy I fallow on flickr already has his: [DD,DDS] Sheryl and Ranka:Valkyria (2) by wata1219, on Flickr [DDS] Ranka・Lee :Wish of Valkyria (2) by wata1219, on Flickr [DD] Sheryl Nome :Shine of Valkyria (1) by wata1219, on Flickr Quote
Jasonc Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Aside from needing to fix Ranka's hair, they look great. Can't wait. I hope I can get them tomorrow. Quote
Jasonc Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I really like that stand. I'd like to get one of those for these two. BTW, I just got mine today. They are big as expected, but I'm really blown away by how beautiful they actually are. To finally see them in hand and display them is really a sight to see. I'll just put up this one pic here, cause it's not my best pic and I need stands for them. Quote

Jasonc Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Nice! But for that price it was selling, it doesn't have its own stand? Sadly, no. Maybe it's the variety of stands they have through their website? I don't know, but that's the only thing that I wish they did have. I ordered one though, but if I can find that dual stand, I'll get one of those. Quote
Jasonc Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 A guy I fallow on flickr already has his: [DD,DDS] Sheryl and Ranka:Valkyria (2) by wata1219, on Flickr Can you ask him where he got this stand? I've been looking for it ever since you posted it. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I'll ask. I have a feeling it's a custom base though. Quote
Jasonc Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I'll ask. I have a feeling it's a custom base though. Might be. If so, I can make one, but if they're available, I'd like to get one. It looks nice. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 So this is where he got it: http://selen.ocnk.net/ it's a japanese only site, but they used to handle international orders from through these guys: https://www.facebook.com/AB-Co-op-484559585234/ not sure if they still do you may need to try a proxy service If you're really interested.

Thanks so much. I see it in there. I'll have one of my friends in Japan order me one. I really appreciate that. Now, to figure out what outfits to display them in. Quote
Bub Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I went to Osaka today and look at what I found... Quote
joppewo Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Here's the Kuji page for it: http://www.bpnavi.jp/kuji/item/1268 Quote
Jasonc Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 The Ranka looks much better in this release, than the Sheryl. The Sheryl doesn't look much like her, sadly. Quote

Murphy Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Great Review JasonC, My stands came in this weekend, Here are some quick pics. Quote
sharky Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I like the look of them in those outfits best. Those are some fine collectables you have there. I'm assuming their expressions are in line with the type of dolls that they are. Personally it would look even nicer IMO with more of a smile. Quote
Lolicon Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Those look pretty cool but from reading the review they sound like too much work for a lazy, lazy man like me. Quote
Jasonc Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Great Review JasonC, My stands came in this weekend, Here are some quick pics. Thanks. Great pictures. I really do like the looks of them in these outfits. I think I am going to end up displaying them in one of the alternate outfits. Thanks for posting them. Those look pretty cool but from reading the review they sound like too much work for a lazy, lazy man like me. They do take time to put them in the outfits right the first time. The second time is much quicker, but in some cases, it takes about as much time as transforming one of the more complex Valkyries. Quote
no3Ljm Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Great figures, Jasonc. Are they planning on making a 'Minmay' doll? Quote
wmkjr Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Someone thought about this. A Morikawa Yuki Dolfie with a different hairstyle/eyes and costume would look nice. Quote

Lolicon Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Latest Banpresto Ranka Lee figure arrived. Ranka in a wedding dress... oh my! Just waiting for Sheryl now. Quote
spanner Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Overall shes quite lovely and i love her dress but she has something funny going on with her nose and mouth area.. kinda looks like Voldemort! Hehe! Quote
no3Ljm Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Thought it was LUM disguised as Ranka because of the 'fangs'. Quote

Moosey Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 She is lovely. I'll pick her up at some point no doubt to add to my extensive Ranka collection! Quote
Jasonc Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) She is lovely. I'll pick her up at some point no doubt to add to my extensive Ranka collection! That's cool you have an extensive Ranka collection. I have some figures of her, but I collect Sheryl figures. Here's a few of them... Hmmm, strange I tried to put up the image, but no luck. I'll try this again later.... Edited December 24, 2015 by Jasonc Quote
Moosey Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Ranka 8 Sheryl 5 always on the look out for more though! Quote
Lolicon Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Ranka 8 Sheryl 5 always on the look out for more though! Nice! I think I've had almost every Sheryl and Ranka figure in my collection at some point, though I've sold a bunch due to space or I didn't like the quality. Wedding dress Sheryl arrived today. Looks great, but as usual the face doesn't look right. Don't know why it's so hard to get Sheryl's face right. Out of all the Sheryl figures to come out over the years, only a few I feel actually look like her. Quote

I know, it seems to have been beyond most of the sculptors/designers to get her face right. http://myfigurecollection.net/item/26555 Was my first Sheryl as I thought it did the best job. Tempted by the wedding dress one. Quote
koonfasa Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Hey is that 1/6? Needs to have a helmet. Edited December 22, 2015 by koonfasa Quote
no3Ljm Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Hey is that 1/6? *snip* Needs to have a helmet. Looks like it and I'm excited for this one as well even though it has a 'HG' something name on the tag. I asked a Chinese friend here at work and she confirmed me the area where it says '12' on the tag. Since it's 12 inches, it safe to assume it's a 1/6th scale. But not true to his height since he's somehow around 5'9". And the same thing I mentioned on the other thread, hope it comes with a helmet and pistol. And another thing, hope it fits the PopBox head too. Edited December 22, 2015 by no3ljm Quote
spanner Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Macross Rick Hunter?? errr no.. Looks ok overall but the face isn't right.. doesn't really look like "Hikaru" at all really. Quote
