(ie the Ranka/Sheryl/Minmei figures, other show/game figures, etc.) I am not sure for all the SQ Figures but as for the Macross Delta figures they are pale without shading for skin tones, with the SQ Figure Sheryl and Ranka they are much bigger and have paint for skin tone details compared the the Walkure. I haven't take pics of Sheryl and Ranka yet, but here are the first set of Walkure. Edited September 14, 2017 by Saburo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Mirage in a Walkire outfit riding horseback on her VF using the tethers to steer while she belts out a rock opera.

yman1437 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Why all these love for Minmay and not for Misa? All there is as toy was the 15th anniversary. No one would buy Misa? How about one interchangeable into the captain of Megaload one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the CM'S version, and the Banpresto one is on the way, but I'd get a modern figure of her for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I want good figures of Misa and Minmay. No one wants to make them. I hope the Zillion Apple figure sells well enough so maybe we will get Misa and Minmay in that vintage line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Great shots Saburo! The cheap 800 yen game prize figure of Mirage in her flight suit is, oddly enough, probably the best looking figure of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pilot uniform? If so, one is the "Figuarts Zero Mirage Farina Jenius," and the other is the "Banpresto SQ Figure Mirage Farina Jenius." --- Figuarts Zero Mirage: pros + generally better workmanship + better sculpt + clear helmet visor + comes with additional face (blushing) cons - smaller than Banpresto figure - more expensive (retailed for ~5000 yen, managed to snag mine for ~2500) - sculpt is arguably not significantly better --- Banpresto SQ Mirage: pros + slightly larger than Figuarts + cheaper (got mine for ~$15) + "fuller" sculpt cons - "stylized" sculpt (not necessarily a con, but worth noting) - skin tone is pale, doesn't feature paint (according to Saburo, anyway; my limited knowledge/collection of figures means I can't easily tell) - opaque helmet visor - not as expressive (IMO) --- I'm sure there's more that can be said comparing both, but I don't have the Banpresto figure in front of me to do so. Saburo might have more insight for you; he's had more time with the figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
