anubis20 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Well, I won Figurarts Sheryl for US$30 ( with shipping) on Ebay. I was surprised to be the only one who bid. I think these Figurarts look good and hope they look better in person. Planning to buy Ranka to complete the set. Amiami is selling them for a similar price. They are really nice figures. I got the Ranka one just so i could have a complete set but I cant fit into my display Looking forward to the black bunny version! Quote
charger69 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Yesterday: Hmm, how about a Figuarts Sheryl for my Ex-Gear Alto? Today: Whoaaaa! VF-1 Super parts set reissue is so near! Decisions decisions... Quote
anubis20 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Nice display! So, where is Ranka? In her box lol she does not fit in the display Quote
Lolicon Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 The Figuarts Zero Sheryl & Ranka are much too big next to Ex Gear Alto. Last year's trading figures are very close in scale, however. Quote
charger69 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Thanks for comparison Lolicon! Trading figures suffer from lack of design quality IMO... Edited August 30, 2012 by charger69 Quote
Kelsain Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 I have those too. When you compare the quality of the sculpt to Alto, they're pretty much on par. While the girls look a little tall here, if you load up Alto in his EX Gear, they look good as a group. (null) Quote

ErikElvis Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Nice! Im excited about the Sheryl-Basara. Cheap too! Quote
Lolicon Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 You see, I'm a guy of simple tastes. I enjoy dynamite, and gunpowder, and trading figures. And you know the thing that they have in common? They're cheap. You know, that trading figure Ranka is actually one of my favorite sculpts. I think it looks better than the recent Figuarts Zero Ranka; better pose and representation of the character. Not too shabby for only 800 yen. I'm no stranger to Ranka figures. Preordered the Basara Sheryl, of course. I'll wait till I see more pics of the nurse versions before I commit to those. Though I've been wanting Nurse Sheryl for some time now... Quote
Phalanix Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 HLJ only lets you order 1 Bas-Sheryl. =( I wanted to get 2. LOL Quote

David Hingtgen Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Meh, Grace/Mylene would be so much better... Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 So for the next set of SQ figures by Banpresto it's... 1. Sheryl as Basara 2. Mylene as Nijo Iro Kuma Kuma Ranka 3. Ranka as Flower Girl 4. Minmay as Orleans Sheryl ...pretty excited to see how the last two turn out. Quote
anime52k8 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Meh, Grace/Mylene would be so much better... we've been over this already. Grace = Sivil Quote
Reïvaj Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 we've been over this already. Grace = Sivil That would be WOW!!!! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Really, shouldn't Grace be Akiko? Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Grace would rock as Sivil, Akiko, or even Dr. Chiba. Quote

Tochiro Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 So.....heard from a source that will go unnamed that, while not rare, the basara-Sheryl figure has the lowest production run of any of these premium UFO catcher figures to date, so get your preorders in early (releases in Nov) just to be safe. Quote
em.gg Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 does anyone know if there are still sites offering pre-orders for the basara-sheryl figure? i've been looking for a while. i haven't seen it on ami-ami and i can't pre-order anymore from hlj. thanks ^^ Quote
BlackAce Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 New ikuji http://akibahobby.net/2012/09/1kuji_macrossf_tsubasa_sample.html Quote
Kicker773 Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I don't know man.. i'm getting tired of collecting them.. when I get a pair.. s.o.b. come out with a black or special version that's ridiculously expensive.. I guess I'm not that much of a hard core mac F fan.. sticking back to old school. Quote
Lolicon Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I want those! Then I can throw out the Figuarts Zero versions. Quote
ff95gj Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I've bought the Figuart Zero Sheryl and Ranka at around US$85 and sold them unopened when I knew the 1Kuji ones were coming. I just got the 1Kuji C+D prizes at US$153. I always like the 1Kuji scripts better. Quote
charger69 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) New ikuji http://akibahobby.ne...asa_sample.html How tall is going to be Sheryl? Any idea? Still looking for a decent Sheryl figure for Ex-Gear Alto... Edit: Link says 22cm... Hmm still taller than I need... Dem scales... Edited October 2, 2012 by charger69 Quote
Lolicon Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 They're usually in the 1/7-1/8 scale range. They're not exactly 1/8 because they 1kuji Sheryl and Ranka figures are taller then the 1/8 scale figures made by Megahouse. Or maybe Megahouse's scales are off. Who knows? These aren't real people.

kamadoma Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 In Mandarakae, the new kujis A and B cost 5 digits in yen. Sheryl goes 12-15k and Ranka goes around 10k. The C and D (without wings) are cheaper with Sheryl and Ranka going for 7-8k yen and 5-6k yen respectively. Quote
