ff95gj Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I've got it from Yahoo Japan. Costs one of my kidneys. To typhoon: we've discussed in this thread around Nov... The Armored Klan is around 1/72, we'd say. But I would say it goes well with a 1/60 VF-25G too. Edited April 1, 2011 by ff95gj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) I'm sure many of the members here must be aware already, but I thought to post a heads up anyway: HLJ has MegaHouse's Armored Klan Klang PVC figure on sale for 4800 Yen (60% off). This is a great opportunity for anyone who wanted one of these gorgeous figures but was kept away by how expensive it was... with that impediment out of the way I've already placed my order; it still won't be cheap but at least it's somewhat affordable now. Cheers! Edited April 2, 2011 by mechaninac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly aren't inexpensive, but it's, in my opinion, one of the best Sheryl sculpts, if not the best.

Mercurial Morpheus Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That new Sheryl is definitely a looker, even with the ridiculously unnecessary cast off feature. Nice to see another high end that isn't entirely smutty. Tried to pick up the Hobby Japan when I was in SF the other day, but Kinokuniya didn't have it yet. I'll probably miss it. That Klan price is tempting, but Fanime's so close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Klan price is tempting, but Fanime's so close... They had a ton of those at the LA Kinokuniya. Picked one up on my lunch break. I also placed a bid on the Sheryl Geisha figure. 12 hours left, and keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Morpheus Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Geez. They said they just got the April on the 23rd, so they don't expect it until later this month. I'll be there for the Cherry Blossom Festival, but it's unknown if I'll even have the cash for it then. But I sort of figured that anyway. How much did they want for it anyway? Good luck on the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkenstein Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I am really tempted to buy Armored Klan. I've already got Figma Kos-Mos preordered and wanting to buy Sideshow Cobra Viper and Cobra Sniper, along with Hot Toys Battlesuit Jill Valentine. Man this sucks.

Good luck on the bid, Jasonc! Thaks for the luck. Seems like I may need it. These are definitely up there in price, but I think I should be able to snag one.

CF18 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Try these for real kidney price: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-383902.html http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-461091.html But if you are looking for other older ichiban-kuji Macross figures Mandarake has many listed at reasonable price.

mechaninac Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Just received my Armored Klan Figure. Two observations: 1. Beautiful sculpt and paint applications like most here have said. 2. Did MegaHouse contract their box design out to Yamato?... There is more empty space on the package design then I've seen on anything short of a VF box. Major fail on the packaging efficiency front.

I keep telling myself that there are only so many Macross shows and only a handful of them I like them enough (I am not interested in Sara Nome for instance) to buy their figures. Amortize over the years... It sounds affordable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amortize over the years... It sounds affordable to me. Hahaha, exactly. I've got just about every Sheryl figure out there, except the blk bunny/wht bunny versions, but that is only a matter of time. This one seems harder to get, and in my opinion, is the most elaborate of them all. Not only that, the face sculpt seems dead on, and when I get my display room going I will have a display strictly of Sheryl put up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Morpheus Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 A whole display? Wow. Sounds like my Asukas. Here I'm I'm amazed that I have two Sheryls, and they're among the most expensive figures in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only afford a couple hobbies, so I gotta pick my battles. I think next purchase will be the black and white bunny sheryls.

raptormesh Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) You ask and I giveth. The box: Close up on her face, quite exquisite and looks a lot like Sheryl on the big screen: Out of the box, I removed the corset and tail coz they were tricky to put on and worst of all they obstruct her...behind. It looks weird like this because it is and I don't plan to display her like this anyway. Also the "suspenders" were even harder to apply. Didn't like them anyway. The aforementioned behind, and her enchanting legs: And her place in one of my shelves at the moment. You can highly customize which part of the clothes you prefer that she puts on. Personally I like her with everything casted off, but her nipples are very apparent under the top and this is a family friendly board so. Overall, a pretty good deal with that sale.
