borgified Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 4 hours ago, kajnrig said: 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? From what I can understand from SilentCiel's review, Ranka was better sculpted overall and painted better than compared with Sheryl (even though he had high expectations for Sheryl). I believe that Ranka's face sculpt is easier to mold than Sheryl's due to that fact that Sheryl has a narrower nose line and it's harder to get a perfect nose sculpt on the molds. I'll pick up only the EXQ Ranka only and the Blue Spirits Kuji Sheryl. Quote
kajnrig Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 So, like a doofus, I mistook this for the Kuji figure and picked it up for what will ultimately be something like $40 plus shipping, thinking I was getting an amazing steal on its 5800-yen asking price... Oh well, it'll still probably be completely worth it, dem gams are mmmmmmffffff. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g304575430 Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Tempting! I love me some Sheryl. Can’t afford to go back down that rabbit hole tho; I’ll stick to valks for now haha Edited October 31, 2018 by spacemanoeuvres Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I usually stay away from girly figs, but Sheryl (and Mirage) is an exception. I'll try and grab one of the Kuji figures later this month. Either the blue, or the cape-less one. [edit] Now that I think about it, in all of Macross the only "Idol" girl I actually like is Sheryl. Though I at least don't hate the DYRL Minmay, and Mylene from 7 is decent. Edited November 1, 2018 by Sanity is Optional Quote
borgified Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 That sitting Sheryl price wise is roughly 2.5k yen and it's not too bad looking. When it this being released? The Spirits Kuji Sheryl is to be released next month on the 23rd (?). Since I have the Movie VF-31f, I'm more leaning to get Freya. Quote
Lolicon Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 As the Incredibles taught us: no capes! I want the cape-less version of that Sheryl. Quote

The EXQ Figure (ie the one I inadvertently preordered) is coming sometime in December. This other auction page gives a date of January 11: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h351642807 The Kuji Sheryl is, yes, releasing November 23. Quote
pikashoo Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Did Bandai ever officially cancel the other Walkure Figuarts besides Mikumo and Freya? Quote

No official statement nor announcements from Bandai. What I know is that if figure didn’t sell well, then there’s no point of expanding it. But then again, who knows? Quote

borgified Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I don't know if anyone has these two variants of the SQ Sheryl from the 1st Frontier movie?

Lolicon Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Received my Ranka SQ figure. She looks much better than the Sheryl figure. Quote
borgified Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 @Lolicon - Now you why the SQ Ranka looks better then Sheryl because of this ... For those who are waiting for the Spirits Kuji Sheryl, the release date is not too far in the horizon. Quote
Lolicon Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Ranka figures are almost always better than Sheryl. A lot of figure sculptors just can't get Sheryl's face right. Quote

mechaninac Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Ranka looks alright, but that Sheryl... she looks like a two dime hooker cosplaying as Sheryl. I'm well aware that Sheryl does dress provocatively; but like Lolicon indicated, the face is all kinds of off, and combined with the outfit we get a pinch-faced weird-lipped heroin addicted street walker doppelganger of Sheryl. Quote
kajnrig Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Eh, I don't know if the figure looks BAD. If you look at some of the artwork, her face does change sometimes. Risa Ebata seems flummoxed by Sheryl especially sometimes, since her face sometimes goes from very angular with a sharp chin and nose (common in the anime) to... this (which seems to have become more common in the time since the series, especially in the movies and art for CDs, etc.). A longer face, with more curve to the chin and nose and fuller cheeks. Anyway, on another note, I just updated my thread getting rid of some stuff: Quote

Jasonc Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Got a set already. Just waiting for shipping. They are all well sculpted, but I'm interested in this as well...

I just purchased A and B, and will probably get the C version when I'm in Japan next year in June, but I think A and B are different enough to get the feel of the sculpt well enough. I can't wait until they show up. I'm kind of a huge Sheryl collector, so oddly, for that character, I go a bit out of the way. Quote
