dreadpyrat Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm rewatching the original SDF Macross right now and forgot how adorable Minmay is as a character! I love the actress's voice who does her. I dont know how they did it...the managed to make her adorable and somehow a bit sexy at the same time. I'm thinking a figure of her would look good amongst all my valks... I see a bunch on eBay but I figured I'd ask the gang: which Minmay figure do you think is the best? I'm looking for something that captures the "cuteness" of her face and personality.Any recommendations are appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 cm minmay dyrl?(1/8 scale) Is imo the best. Most of the cm mini figs are good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) The Wave Corp's 1:10 Lynn Minmay figure from there "Beach Queens" line is one of my favorite things in my collection! Wish I could find more from that line. Great detail. Edited January 23, 2011 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vifam7 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Is there a figure that's at or very close to 1/12 scale? Edited January 23, 2011 by Vifam7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpchi Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) My favorite is the CM's Minmay Collection, with the body from the DYRL (final battle) version, and the head swap from the DYRL (Shao Bai Long concert). That is my favorite combo, combining with the best dress and cutest face in that set. Edited January 23, 2011 by mpchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I was hoping this would be the best Minmay figure so far... lol. I'll start on this project again once I make good on projects I'm behind on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That looks oddly familiar. http://www.hobbyfanatics.com/index.php?/topic/35092-lynn-minmay-in-chinese-dress/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 lol. Did ryuji make a M 1st version of his minmay? I like ryuji's sculpts but they're a bit too risque for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Best Minmay hands down IMO http://blogs.laweekly.com/stylecouncil/MacrossWorld-28.jpg I'd probably say next in line afterwards are the Yellow Submarine versions. All 3 hard to find, and all 3 very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadpyrat Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Those are some great suggestions guys, thanks! You know, I jsut watched the episode last night where Minmay won the Miss Macross contest (Ep 10 I think) and I'm surprised they did do more with the swimsuit figure that just came out....now crown or cape or trophy?

sharky Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I like this one http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65236 It's about 6.5 inches high. One of my personal favorites is this one from the flashback 2012 and perfect edition dyrl. http://www.hlj.com/product/SEK39922 I think the head sculpt could have been better, but I like the outfit and it's one of the few things I have of FB 2012. In fact, it's the only thing unless Bandai does a V100 version of the VF-4. Edited January 24, 2011 by sharky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vepariga Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I love my Beach Queens Minmay,amazing sculpt and the DYRL? CM. all minmays are great,but those two are my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Finally have her in my hands Jason... box looks more thicker rectangular than the rest of the VMF series. Great find. Hope you didn't pay too much for it. Everytime I see them on ebay, they're over $1K. Were you able to get the Chinese dress for it? Mine is nicely packed away, but hoping one day to display her in her own glass display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Nope not ebay. I had to ask for some favors from my japanese friends who managed to find me a brand new one at its original released price. Brand new no stain on the head. Chinese dress achieved =) a while back. I will display her soon enough next to Mami, Risa, and Miki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 cm minmay dyrl?(1/8 scale) Is imo the best. is it really 1/8 though? i have one and it really looks small compared to my other 1/8 figures. was minmay that short? i'm still hoping a 1/6 would come out at some point, any version, any dress.
