This is different from the Ichiban Kuji, right? On mobile right now so can't easily check...

This is the one that @no3Ljm has posted on the other page on July 29th (first pic on the Bandpresto Craneking EXQ). There's something about the eye's that make it too lifelike. 

Edit: I might be interested in this other than the Freja "Noodle Topper" version.

The new upcoming one. I mistakenly said it was part of their Ichiban Kuji... line?... which is a lottery system, but it's an EXQ figure releasing as a crane game prize.

Saw this new image of Sheryl and Ranka for their new Macross F album called 'Good Job'. And I'm wondering whether Banpresto will make a figure of it.  :wub:

Since when did Sheryl and Ranka started working with the Frontier Mechanics on taking care of the 25 and 171 valks?

Must be a secondary job to support their living as singers when not needed and going to school at the same time. :p

If my memory serves me correctly, didn't Maki Maki got her hands on skills on working with one the Xao's valks?

She's ostensibly the chief mechanic of Delta Squad and works on the VF-31As, too. But beyond the opening cinematics, I don't think she's ever shown actually working on them. (She gives Hayate the tutorial on why he doesn't need a helmet.)

The EXQ Ranka figure will be releasing September 26. I'm seeing preorders up on YJA for ~1700 JPY, and Nin-Nin Game has it up for ~$30.

Hm... I'm reconsidering keeping my Sheryl figure up for sale now...

Hahaha! This is more like when did singers learn how to act. Or when did actors learn  how to sing. :lol: 

We have to consider that they probably need to do everything to keep the fame. ^_^

Makina also lectured Hayate on how rough he was piloting his Siegfried compared to how smooth Messer flew, all while Reina was feeling her up.

Sheryl got some flight training, maybe they thought she looked hotter in a set of overalls... [safer to give here an impact drill than a VF-25 too....]

I was actually thinking back to an episode in where Maki Maki and Rei Rei got caught and spend the evening (or half a day) in a holding cell in trying to rescue/find Kumo Kumo and how the two of them got into working with Xaos [Just remembered which one - Episode 21: Yearning Secret]

Well Hayate did work as cargo loader before joining as a pilot for Delta Squadron (carefree attitude though). He did say that the 171 layout controls where somewhat similar to the loading machines that he worked with previously and wasn't refined pilot when he started flights on the 31 valk.  Don't forget that Messer did chew up Hayate in his flying skills as well. 

Enough chat... Bring on the figures! :D

Regarding the EXQ Ranka, I asked HLJ and the relevant part of their response was thus:

"The head of the product team tells me that we will be able to obtain this item, but quantities are not known at this time. Please keep an eye on our site!"

Always A+ customer service team, they have.

Is it out now? It looks a bit better to me seeing in the package with everything...almost want to get one. But mainly look forward to getting the Hikaru I ordered and seeing what else they come out with if it’s good.

It's about to release next week, Hikaru will be release on November, this one looks very great, I hope Misa must be the next one...

Wow that "Minmay" doesn't look that bad at all. I found that perplexing till I saw that it's not made by Toynami (duh).

"Hikaru" doesn't look right to me. He looks too... manly? His arms also look disproportionately small compared to the rest of his body.

Ah thanks! I'll keep an eye out for reviews. If good, I may pick up Minmay and whtever else they come out with.

Cool.  I’ll go ahead and post it in the KitzConcept thread as well.

Okay, so I know I'm really late to the party, and it's old news, and it's so common as to be worthless on the secondary market... but I laughed my ass off when I saw it, and I just had to buy it.  ^_^

Going to keep my eyes peeled for the EXQ Sheryl and Ranka. :wub:

@tekering: Those 30th Anniversary crossover figures are still available if your interested in getting the rest of them.
