Emotion Style Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier: The False Diva

1/8 scale PVC statuette by Bandai

Released: Late February 2010, RRP ¥6,800 (currently about AUD $70) via HobbySearch Japan and HobbyLink Japan.

It came with a pink display platform (in the shape of the SMS logo), and a display stand to keep it upright.

I purchased matching Emotion Style Ranka Lee as well, but haven't got time to take the statue out of the box to take a pic of it (nor do I have the display space). In fact, I'll have to put this statuette into storage as well.

"Chips off the old shoulder?"

Okay bad joke... and sorry to detract from the conversation about damaged hinges, but guess what?

I got my Launching Missile Parts today~!

My VF-1J with GPB-1S Armour arrived today! I know I should have just waited for the option kit, so I could stick on my exisiting 101 VF-1J but I... ...I got impatient... Another (proxy) supplier should be sending me the option kit with the "Itano Circus" bits sometime this month.

Grand Admiral noted, that he hopes that a Low Vis Version comes out... I wonder if the Thunder Hammer will be (challenged to be) redone for the 1/60 scale?

One of my favorite formats for Valk (and other collectibles) photography is "On Black".

Well I just recently acquired my VF-1J Max & Milia customs so here's the latest pic:

Ranka Lee | ランカ・リー Nyan-Nyan Version

1/8 scale PVC statuette figure by Megahouse (Hiromitsu Morikawa), released and acquired October 2009.

Some pics for you folks to enjoy.

What about my sta--- sweet buns?

I got mine today (Shipped from HobbySearch (Japan to Australia) on Friday). Had it in the same order as the VF-1S low vis. Talk about great timing.

Apart from spending about 20 minutes trying to carefully get the pilots into their seats, I have no complaints. Like the VT-1 the leg clip is easier to access for more fluid transformation from Battroid / Fighter.

Hope you all enjoy yours.

I got my VT-1 Super Ostrich yesterday! Looks good standing next to the VF-1D Trainer.

Now I can't wait for the VE-1 and the Virgin Road...

Question for the modellers/customizers out there: I'm thinking of maybe painting an extra VF-1 Super & Strike FAST pack that I have lying around in this colour scheme to beef up the -1D, but it would be great to know the official colour pallete (I don't make models nowadays, so a brand and colour number would be great) (saves me bringing the thing out with me to the hobby shop to try and find a match).

is there a definite on the red version of that? If there is I'd rather wait.

Or a Sheryl-outfit variant for M. Bison.

Sagittarius @ 9PM - Don't Be Late!

I dunno if they'll ever make the "Bison" version, (or a Sheryl outfit for Bison - lol! - good one) but I used some Photoshop trickery and mocked this up for us.

Excellent! Sheryl Nome came in the post on Friday. I am quite pleased the quality of it and do recommend it if one is a PVC figure collector, though I do wonder if they will release an alternate red version? Might be a job for the customizers out there?

I with Sheryl out of the box, I also took the opportunity to take a pic of Minmay (CM's Corporation, released earlier this year).

It sits neatly next to my DYRL? VF-1S's

I look forward to the Megahouse Ranka Lee in November.

We need a fragging translation of this book, and pictures, lots of pictures.

I acquired mine last week (and received it in the mail yesterday) for a reasonable price through eBay (paid USD $45.99 including airmail shipping).

Just by looking at at the (most awesome) graphics, many things make sense, and I wish I knew more Japanese so I could appreciate the content, especially the specs for the VF-1G.

Now I've only had a glance at it, yes there are pictures - lots of pictures, and the photo-realism is just superb.

Language barrier aside I am quite glad I scored a copy.

This Valk has flown!

A friend of mine found out that I was selling it and has taken it off my hands. (Sorry Guppy).

Thank you all for your time.

you're just down the road from my place!! VERY tempted to hit the buy it now button!!

Get tempted! If you're in Sydney I can probably drop it around over the weekend.

Also I found this review for this version of the VF-25S and;

the HLJ product listing for it. I bought it from there earlier this year.

I hope this helps you (or anyone else) with their decision on purchasing the product.

G'day folks. I've just discovered this thread and I just wanted to say hello and it's kinda nice to know there are some (real) local Macross fans.

I've only recently re-discovered Macross, (having been brought up with Robotech) and have been steadily collecting the Yamato 1/60 scale Valks and some Destroids.

and the Revoltech Yamaguchi's from Kaiyodo

Photos of my collection need some updating (with my VF-1D, VF-11B, VF-1A's others that are on pre-order...) but you can see my collection here on Flickr.

If MAC AUS CON 2010 is Sydney I'll definitely drop by and say hello - especially if that 1/2000 SDF-1 has been produced.

All the best with your planning in the meantime.

I took the sale as an opportunity to get some extra 1/60 scale VF-1 Super/Strike packs to go with my newly arrived DYRL Max and Kakizaki VF-1A's; and pre-ordered VF-1J and VF-1A Brownies... Might be worthwhile if you have already pre-ordered some cannon fodder to complement your collection

I ended up ordering a Minmay PVC figure too, just for the hell of it.

Also Part II of their sale is on through to the 19th June 2009.

I was on the same sort of mission a few months ago with limited success. I can't offer you mine, but if I find any for you I'll let you know.

I ended up acquiring the Yamato 1/60 scale VF-0A w/QF2200D-B Ghost Booster from HLJ last year, but it seems that they've run out of them now.

I ended up buying the VF-0S just on it's own and getting a QF-2200D-A separately;

As with the YF-19 (sorry no pic): I haven't been able to find a Fold Booster for it yet - so if anyone has one lying around...

I noted in my searches that the YF-19 with the Fold booster is the two seater version, where as the one on it's own is the single seater.

Hope you have better success in your search than I have.

DX Chogokin VF-25S Messiah Valkyrie Ozma Lee Custom 1/60 scale by Bandai.

This is the December 2008 release of this toy.

Like very new. Kept in mint condition. Only opened the box once, transformed the VF-25S twice (once to Gerwalk / Battroid Mode, then back to Fighter mode).

All the accessories are still with it, the gun, extra hands, blade and instructions. Still in the box and plastic of course!

Or click here to inspect the image large.

I'm only selling it to make room for my Yamato 1/60 scale Valkyries.

I have listed it on eBay for $180 Australian dollars. I will cover all the postage and handling costs.

Thanks for your time.

Here's the link to the eBay listing.

(Buy It Now Ended time: 12-Jun-09)

I've made regular purchases from HobbySearch since 2007.

Excellent in response time. Excellent in securing pre-orders.

The site is very user friendly and you can see what your about to purchase.

They have a points redemption system too, which helps ease the cost of EMS shipping when you choose to redeem them.

Their FAQ's are pretty straight forward too.
