Just a game prize figure like the ones shown above. You could just go down the street and buy one off the shelf for like 1500 yen...
-
Those are game prize figures. They're way too low quality to be regular retail figures and I recognize the Crane King logo on the sign, even when blurred. On a side note, I once watched a Japanese dude spend well over 20000 yen trying to get a figure from one of those crane games. (Yes I was standing there hoping he would give up and leave so I could swoop in and snatch the already teetering on the edge figure lol)

That's twice as much as I paid for my Yamato SDF-1! ...but I'll still probably get one so I can display in both modes at the same time. For the price hike, Arcadia please print 01 and 02 on the ARMDs this time!

The old V1s are great if you just want a nice fighter mode piece. They were pretty nice for the time they came out in and still vastly superior to ET's VF-2SS. -
Awesome! I have to wait till after Labor Day because I used Fedex. I can't trust USPS with a $600 package.

Thanks guys! Just got home and had a chance to open it... almost felt like I was committing a crime opening it up for the first time since it left the factory. Minmay pilot figure needed a shower after all these years. Not a huge fan of the movie, but one of my favorite VF-1 designs. -

At long last, thanks to a fellow forum member, I finally have one of my most sought after valks! And that canopy! -
Those look surprisingly good! Still need some paint for a few details, but better than I expected. If I had any intention of building all of Delta squadron, I'd pick these up too.
-
The fighters look great. I don't like the fat battroids though.
-
Because she would be 72 as of Macross Delta.
-
I don't recall there ever being anything even remotely akin to preorder madness for Macross character figures.
-
Comparison pics please! Mine's stuck in PW thanks to some delayed releases.
-
Correct. It's a Figuarts Zero figure, which are painted and completed already.
-
Well, they are 2 different product lines. Of course, if size matters to you (and as well it should!), you can always get the Figuarts Zero Ranka I listed earlier, which should be about the same size as Mirage. I'm willing to bet there will eventually be a larger scale Ichiban Kuji version of Mirage somewhere down the line though.
-
Minmay doesn't look too bad unpainted, but Ranka is just missing way too many details without paint. Also, Ranka > Minmay.
-
Still waiting on the Tomytech Delta models to be released before shipping out. We're at the end of August now...
-
It's not prepainted. It's molded in colored plastic parts like a gunpla kit. You'll have to do a lot of painting to make it look like those promo pics. This is what it looks like unpainted: For those that want a Ranka figure like that but don't want to deal with painting, you can always get the Ichiban Kuji or Banpresto completed figures. Usually available for cheap. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1034479042&ref=list

If Ranka looks that good out of the box, I'll get one.
-
Yeah it's pretty lame. Bandai's Macross kits straddle the line between model and toy, and kinda do a half-assed job at both. About halfway through mine now, working bit by bit when I have time, but so far it's been less unpleasant than the Frontier kits. But that might just be because I'm more experienced with this stuff than I was back then. I've been using the waterslide decals for all the insignias and small markings, and the stickers for all the huge colored areas. Those decals will chip 'n rip when you attempt a transformation, I guarantee it. Serious modelers should just wait for Hasegawa to release a VF-31.
-
Dammit Tomy, release your 31s for this month so I can ship my stuff out!
-
Yes! Hurray for sea cat plushies!
-
Be careful what you wish for. If demand and sales dip too much, Bandai will simply stop releasing Macross toys, and then we all lose.

Keith won't die because he's too pretty.

I hope Monster pilots are provided adequate ear protection.
