I like the figure well enough, but man that face is jacked. Quote

Lolicon Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 That means they'll show up on Mandarake shortly after for around 6000-8000 yen, I'm guessing. Quote
eXis10z Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Wow that price... but they look nice and it's Sheryl Nome. Edited August 1, 2018 by eXis10z Quote
kajnrig Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 This is different from the Ichiban Kuji, right? On mobile right now so can't easily check... Quote

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. Edited August 15, 2018 by borgified Quote
Lolicon Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 So many Frontier figures in the pipeline and nothing for Delta? Oh my. Quote

kajnrig Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I do think it's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be more Delta stuff in the works. I'd still love to see their shmexy movie designs in figure/Figure-rise form. Quote
Podtastic Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Why? Why is it always only these stupid idols we see? Quote

no3Ljm Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 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. Quote
borgified Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 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. If my memory serves me correctly, didn't Maki Maki got her hands on skills on working with one the Xao's valks? Quote

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. https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-banpresto-hobbies-and-figures/28797-macross-f-exq-figure-ranka-lee-banpresto-.html Hm... I'm reconsidering keeping my Sheryl figure up for sale now... Edited August 30, 2018 by kajnrig Quote

Or when did actors learn how to sing. We have to consider that they probably need to do everything to keep the fame. Quote
Sildani Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited August 30, 2018 by Sildani Quote

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....] Quote

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.) 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] 26 minutes ago, Sildani said: 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. 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! Quote
kajnrig Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 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. Quote

Lolicon Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 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. Quote
DarkArchon3000 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Wow that looks better than I expected. Glad I ordered a few. Gotta get Minmay before getting Misa. Quote

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

tekering Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 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. Quote
borgified Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Going to keep my eyes peeled for the EXQ Sheryl and Ranka. @tekering: Those 30th Anniversary crossover figures are still available if your interested in getting the rest of them. Quote
Lolicon Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 The 30th anniversary figure of Ranka in Minmay's dress is nice too. The others are meh. Quote
