Macross Frontier Figures


CF18

Recommended Posts

That 'zombie sheryl' is truly horrific! As much as I support anyone's right to collect whatever they want, if you find such a... thing appealing you need some psychiatric help. Even if you're a serious completionist and your goal is to get everything with a Macross label on it, you should get it, leave it in the box, put it in another box, wrap it in chains and put it away for safe keeping at the bottom of a very deep lake (or a well, considering it looks like an extra from Ringu).

Worst. Macross. Collectable. EVER!!!

Seriously, is that supposed to be a custom or is it really being mass produced?

Yamato have already announced that they are discontinuing the VF-1 in favor of 17 color variations of that doll.

stop spreading lies.

It was already announced that the doll is the newest Toynami MP Sheryl in accordance with the latest super supreme court ruling that states that HG does in fact own all things macross.

Also in accordance to the ruling, the names of the said characters have been changed to better suit western audiences. The galaxy fairy Sheryl Nome is now Elaine Smith. Any attempt to publicly state either verbally or in writing the previous name of the character will result in a $10,000 fine, jail time, and free membership in Robotech.com. Thank you.

"Elaine Smith" is so much better! "Sheryl Nome"? Blah.

Good that HG owns the Macross Frontier license now that someone who really knows about Macross gets the say. It's rumoured that they are negotiating on the license of Keroro; I presume that they are going to merge the two animes that we can have a 300+ episode of Robotech Frontier? PLEEEAAAASE?

Does anyone know what this means? It is in regard to my Sheryl coming from Anime Export. I was following it as it was making it's way to me. I have not received it yet. The last status has me puzzled. Does "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" mean that it is going to ship now from Japan? As in, all the activity so far was just paperwork stuff. I thought the "Inbound International Arrival" meant it was in the US and perhaps being held up in Customs.

Here is the tracking history:

Origin Post is Preparing Shipment

Inbound International Arrival, September 04, 2009, 8:28 pm, ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)

Foreign International Dispatch, September 02, 2009, 10:59 am, TOKYO INT, JAPAN

Foreign Arrival at Outward Office, September 02, 2009, 9:24 am, TOKYO INT, JAPAN

Foreign Acceptance, September 01, 2009, 3:00 pm, JAPAN

The only other detail regarding the current status is: We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.

I'm sort of scratching my head on this one because it's not EMS, but it's not regular SAL either. It seems to be SAL, but registered mail. I'd like to think that it's in New York and it's being processed to eventually come to me, but I'm not so sure because of the "origin post" stuff.

When are they going to re-release the Macro-Klan figureing I noticed on HLJ that there is going to be a DX Klan Klan figure but no pictures and it's to be released in November. So far I missed out, and want one.

whoa, i was checking out the rest of the pictures from that Zombie Sheryl Link and they have some other decent figs. The Ranka doll version looks decent, but man.. what a Klan klan figure!!

painted resin garage kit. if there was any kind of justice in the world that would be turned into a PVC figure. but I doubt it will. :(

Yeah, the swimsuit Klan is rather generic looking.

I can't believe they made a figure of that overly blatant nose art. Oh wait, it's Japan. I guess I can. I still wonder how they got away with it on the van.

"It's the perfect embodyment of her passion, her showmanship and her playfulness."

Ahhh, put a bullet in it. ;) All it shows is her looking like a damn floozy. If that's the perfect embodiment of her, than she's a rather shallow character indeed (though I suppose it represents her mask quite well):lol: . At least the face is less creepy than the actual art. Though the sculpt itself looks pretty good. Excellent infact.

And just to cut it off at the pass, I'm mostly joking around here. Still, it's bewildering that that art got chosen for a figure, as the bullet and slogan just tip the scale a little too much, and I'm a big fan of nose art. Though I suppose there's worse art of her.

I need to check this thread more often.

I now demand they make a figure based off the RCA Ranka takeoff.

What're the scale of Banpresto's DX's figures?

BTW. I just noticed that Klan, Ranka, and now Sheryl have all been in bikini's. ^_^

I guess #4 will be Nanase or Cathy. FYI. The Lucky Star x Macross F figures are OUT on 9/26!!!

#1: Probably 0. That version is a special final lucky draw item, only 100 units were made.

#2: Many. That is the regular release so many got it and posted about it before.

The "encore" version is coming:

I completely agree with you on #1. In fact. you either have to be very rich or very lucky. This guy (see link) scored one in Japan for 198,000 yen. That's almost US$2000

No worries these type of collectibles are much more readily available compared to Macross DRYL or TV cels. I am very patient... the hunt is part of the fun. ^_^

crazy, 2000 bucks, that's mad. :edit: and totally not worth it. Original Colours are fine.

Now the 28cm Sheryl, totally worth it for the price paid, only 700 made, and she's beautiful, plus can be outfitted with many costumes

and negate the need to buy the rest of the fixed posed figures/statues coming out, hell i can get Sheryl to do more than sit pretty over a Gunpod Shell. :lol: j/k
