miriya Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I find it strange that we have not seen any images of the Yamato Minmay figure. The other 25ths, the VF-1S and the YF-19 we have seen for some time now and has been on pre-order but this one we have not seen anything. I guess we can assume that it will not be released at the same time as the other two. Any information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumdumgai Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 If it's still coming out, I'd need to see pictures before committing to a pre-order or saying I'll definitely buy it. I don't have a good feeling about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoneWolf Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I hope this Minmay kit looks good. I wouldn't worry too much, it looks like Yamato has a lot of experience making female figures. http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/goods_lis...004&cid=116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy007 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yamato's female figures are amazing. I just ordered the Arisa fig and i cant wait for it to get here. I really dont think the minmei will be a disapointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumdumgai Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah, it's one of the things listed on the Yamato site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 We have heard about so many goings on at Yamato, The 25th Valks, The YF-21, the GNU line, and now the blow up news about the revised 1/60th line of VF-1 but what ever happened to Minmei? We have not seen a pre production sample or a prototype or heard any news. Did this get swept into the dust bin? Are they going to still do it and if so when? It seems like Yamato has us on a drip with news now. About one major Fix every 10 days or so. That way we can jones for over a week, plan our shopping strategies and just when we get so frustrated with anxiety and anticipation bomb us with another syringe full of meat. I guess I am curious because even though Minmei really annoys me, I find her character to be one of the most important parts of the macross story. Of course you all know this and no need to go on but her singing saves the human race and I really resonate with the idea of music saving lives. It is such a romantic notion. Especially that one woman's songs can defeat a gargantuan army of war mongering space aliens. So where is our Heroine and what will she look like. I almost want her to look nasty and ugly so I do not have to spend the money but if she is hot and dressed well (I hate that dress with the green dots!), then I may consider it. Not much choice really. I bet Graham already has one on his desk. He is after all in minmei's panties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means that Minmay will be a certain buy provided that they go with an interesting pose and costume. I bet she will be in her DYRL badolza battle dress. Its her most iconic outfit.

That one is pretty sexy IIRC. However my favorite, which they will not do is the flightsuit and second favorite is the red chinese dress which they probably wont do either.

Sumdumgai Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I dunno. For me the Yamato female figures have been hit or miss. Some are fantastic, some are really meh for me. And their female figures cost a pretty penny. I keep bringing up megahouse, but so far their figures have been top notch, and more affordable than the Yamato ones, with better quality to them (in my opinion). I'm anxious to find out if this Minmay figure is still in the works, or if it went the way of the 1/60 Destroid Monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I shall say it one million times and only one million times. They can pass Minmey by - I want a Misa Hayes VFTF1 (because I love Misa with all my heart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can pass Minmey by - I want a Misa Hayes VFTF1 (because I love Misa with all my heart) Yep, I know what you mean. I fell in love with Misa and not with minmei even if she did save the human race. I also fell in love with milia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 (edited) Milia's way too unlady like for my taste... in fact - she's like the opposite extreme to Minmey... Minmey is the bratty clueless chick and Milia is the Terminator on steroids... Misa is the most human and true to form - she has responsibilities but she's also a woman and a normal person - her interaction with her father, her sorrow over Riber, her feelings for Rick (OH MY GOD! WHAT DID I JUST WRITE!) HIKARU! HIKARU! and her embarrasment - all of them make her endearing while the other two are fun, but not endearing. vftf1 Edited December 24, 2007 by VFTF1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
