Macross figures

[Lolicon]

The sign says 1/20 scale Lynn Minmay DYRL version, which would be a tiny figure. But under that it says 1/20 scale VF-1A/S Ichijo Hikaru, which would be a ginormous valk.

[seti88]

Minmay looks adorable..any price listed?

Now are they gonna release the swinging minmay version ala lil groot ....

[gunbuster76]

i saw that too. looks like it's almost 1/6.

[Major Focker]

PLAMAX is a 1/20 scale line of figures

[UN Spacy]

Just give us a damn Figma or SH Figuarts already.

The first lady of Macross deserves one.

[antibiotictab]

Sold out, as usual.

This one looked so small, and it was difficult for me to take some pics.

[arbit]

How small? Any estimate? 10-15cm?

I'm in, but CM'S GK statue is still the best.

Sold out, as usual.

[sh9000]

If it was 1/18 scale it would have gone great with my 1/18 figure collection.

[arbit]

It is cute, it is Minmay, it is Max Factory, but it is not Mikimoto.

[UN Spacy]

It's a plamo? I'll pass.

I'm awful at painting to make it look as good as it should be.

[arbit]

I assume it is pre painted, Max has not been doing garage kits these days.

[spanner]

Sold out, as usual.

I'm curious to see the 1/20 VF-1A/S.

[McFly!!]

^yup, that's gonna be a showcase valk if they do it right! Think it'll be bigger than the neo zeong from Gundam unicorn?

[no3Ljm]

I want it in Gerwalk form though. It's Macross.

[arbit]

I assume it is pre painted, Max has not been doing garage kits these days.

So would the 1/20 Minmay be a kit or a figure?

Strange scale.

[warrhead]

Most of my collection these days is 1/20-1/24 scale toys and models. I would be in SO MUCH trouble with my wife if I ever brought a 1/20 scale VF-1 into this house... so how to proceed...

[JetJockey]

That Max Factory is the best Minmay figure I've seen. Her face could be better. But at 1/20 that could be the best they can do and she shouldn't be only 1/20. What are they thinking?

[Tochiro]

Currently at the Japan Amusement Expo and...DELTA?

Some new info on upcoming prize figures:

Freyja: June

Mikumo: July

Mirage: August

[spanner]

WANT & WANT!!!

they look cute azz!

[Moosey]

I have a feeling Mikumo figures might suffer similar fates to many of the Sheryl ones.

By that I mean, the face isn't quite right. Fingers crossed anyway!

[sh9000]

Found these pics.

[derex3592]

Yeeeeeh.....they are preeettttyy bad......however....its not like there's anything better out there....miiiiight have to try like one??? (runs for cover)

[seti88]

We got your live Robotech movie right here! Thats what all of them will looks like when cast.

Generic and wooden.

[Golden Arms]

What happened to Max's Glasses? Those do look pretty bad BTW!

Edited February 29, 2016 by Golden Arms

[seti88]

Glasses are exclusives...

[no3Ljm]

Oh-kay. So this is still TBD?

[JetJockey]

My mind immediately went to Toynami when I saw the first image of those figures. It wasn't surprising that yes, these are coming from Toynami. Who buys this stuff?

Sshhh... Uhm... HG employees?

Have any of you seen those horrible "retro" 3.75 figures that some company makes? They've licensed just about everything: Back to the Future, Alien, Star Trek, etc, etc. The figures are done in the old late 70s early 80s Kenner Star Wars style. All of the figures are effectively the same with different paint jobs. They're disproportionate with really long torsos and short legs. They look terrible even compared to battered original Star Wars figures.

The market for those Toynami figures is the same as for the retro figures I mention. They're for older people who really aren't into expensive retro-collectibles but still have an appetite for goodies related to properties from the olden days. And, to be fair, the Toynami figures look higher quality than the retro figs I mention.

Of those figs pictured:

Rick looks about 8 years old. I'm sure that's some good fuel for the Macross age discussion.

Minmei... Well, Minmei looks OK, I guess. It's always difficult to do figures like that. They probably should have gone for a more cheerful expression. She looks really disappointed, and that doesn't fit with the Chinese dress Minmei of the early series.

Miriya looks stoned out of her mind.

Max looks OK. I guess. He needs his trademark glasses though.

Roy... It's impossible to say much about Roy. One picture has his face completely shadowed and the other has his face at an angle where it's impossible to tell much about it.

Articulation looks passable. Being Toynami, I'm sure all the joints are loose and the figure falls apart if you look at it funny.
