Sanity is Optional Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I'm really tempted to find a pair of eye decals that are a bit sharper at the upper outer corners, and do a replacement. The rest of the figure is good, but the face is not. Quote

These two particular songstress figures are the also the ones that grace my valk shelf. I've had the Ranka for years now, but only recently acquired the Sheryl. I just wasn't a fan of the blue variant Sheryl figure of this type. I just couldn't see it going with either variant of the Ranka. As for the Ranka, I like both the variant colors, but the red one is just so much more vibrant and just fits with the default Sheryl so well. Plus, the red variant lacks the winky eye, which I think somewhat mars the default color variant. I just have them on their default stands. Amazingly, Ranka hasn't ever started to lean. I wish there was a red costume variant like that for the Dollfie Dream. Quote
borgified Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Happy to be of serve to you @tekering. @GabrielV: Two minds to think alike.. As for the Sprits Kuji Sheryl (to be released in two weeks for both versions), I'm leaning more towards on the Blue variant (unless the details are more pronounced on the red version due to the fact that I can't really see it too well).

Use Google translate if needed. https://sn.bpnavi.jp/1kuji_fsp/macross/macrossf/ Edit: Bottom right is the Double Chance campaign version and bottom left is without the cape. I'm going to stick with the blue version. Anyone going to Akihabara and trying your luck there? Here are the zoomed pics. It doesn't look too bad, however the nose need some redefining on the actual sculpt. Variant A Variant B Variant C (without cape) Double Chance Variant (Same as Variant A however more expensive) Edited October 14, 2018 by borgified Quote
Lolicon Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 I'll be in Akihabara sometime early next year, but who wants to wait that long? Not like you'll get them much cheaper than what you'll find on Mandarake, game prize and Ichiban figures alike. They'll start off moderately pricey then drop off over time. I picked up all the Figuarts Zero variants, but for their movie outfits I prefer the Ichiban Kuji releases. Quote

Based on the Google translate of the website: Number of winnings: 10 total キャンペーン終了日：2019年2月末日 Campaign end date: End of February 2019 ※「A賞 10th アニバーサリー Crimson Scarlet Queen シェリル・ノーム フィギュア」と同一の賞品となります。 ※ It becomes the same prize as "A prize 10th anniversary Crimson Scarlet Queen Sheryl Nome figure". ※期間は延長される場合がございます。 ※ The period may be extended. ※キャンペーンナンバーが同梱されている賞品に関しては、ナンバーの使用期限が終了している場合があります。 ※ For the prizes that the campaign number is bundled, the usage deadline of the number may have ended. ※この商品のキャンペーンナンバーは全て同じものとなります。 ※ All items in this product's campaign number will be the same. 複数購入された場合でもダブルチャンスキャンペーンに挑戦できるのはお一人様1回のみとなります。 Even if you purchase more than one, you can only challenge a double chance campaign once per person. Basically a lucky draw version (and possibly more if you sell it). Edit: Found a video that has the Two Variants on YouTube in which was posted on the 10th of this month.

eXis10z Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I see myself get Variant B and C since it's almost same as A without the cloak. Edited October 15, 2018 by eXis10z Quote
kajnrig Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 So what are the rules/procedure for entering into the draw for the 10 "Variant D" figures? Crane game figures I can understand, it's basically the same as any other crane/claw game, you put in money to get one opportunity to operate the claw. I imagine those probably cost 100-2000 yen per claw, depending on the quality/scarcity of the item within. Ichiban Kuji lottery games, from what I remember folks saying here, you buy a ticket from a dedicated salesman and get it scanned right then and there to determine if you win anything. The prizes are there at the... arcade? store? How does this figure work in particular? I'm guessing A/B/C are the same as the above Ichiban Kuji system (with each ticket costing 5800 yen and guaranteeing you get one of the three), but D seems like a national lotto-type thing? Do you buy an entry ticket at a discounted price (or maybe it comes free as part of a promotion when buying select items?) for a chance to get one of the 10 D-prize figures? Quote

I have the Movie 31f to arrive next week via Amazon Japan (barring if and when the Canada Post Strike hits YVR as its slowly creeping across Canada as it already hit my secondary home of YYZ as of yesterday) and can't decide if I want the larger or smaller sized Kaname/Freyja to go with it when displayed with my SQ Regular Suit Mirage.

borgified Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Been looking through YouTube in regards to Macross Banpresto figures and no wonder why the EXQ Ranka looks better than Sheryl (they still got to fix that face sculpt of her).. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNaZfzz7hOY Edit: Found another EXQ unboxing of Ranka and Sheryl. Edited October 26, 2018 by borgified Quote
kajnrig Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 Why does it look better than the Sheryl scope, though? Can you tl;dr it, or should I watch the entire video to find out? Quote
