In many ways, it reminds me of this figure - which was around $50 (Banpresto SQ series)

I still like the whole set, so per-ordered at AmiAmi

The MSRP should be less than US$30... For that price, it's a decent figure. But honestly, the face script was bad.

Since that was a prize figure, I've seen it go for as low as $20 or less in the past. Of course, it could have been even cheaper for anyone who is really good with UFO catchers, lol! The face wasnt the best but it was a good figure for what it was imo. Saw a girl get one for a birthday present once. She was so happy that she immediately spent the next 15 minutes taking close-up photos of Sheryls butt.... :blink:

$180 at HLJ. But only a 5% discount for pre-order.

Amazon Japan has it for 18% off which equates to 500yen more than AmiAmi, but with Amazon japan I get free shipping which makes them slightly cheaper for me, all things considered.

Do you live in Japan? Is it regarded to be a popular item in Japan?

Just curious how popular Macross is in its homeland. :)

When you buy stuff off of AmiAmi, or BiginJapan, how do you go about obtaining Japanese Yen?

you pay them with your credit card and/or PayPal in your local currency and the bank handles the conversion for you.

Hope this one does well and they release one for the second movie. Will pass for now as its a bit too busy for me.

I would like a more normal Sheryl figure. I do think this is the best one now. I usually don't pre-order these. I wait till release so maybe something better will come out by then. Her whole expression does fit a bit too much with the standard anime girl figure theme that seems to be going around. Even if it is intended from the scene.

I got it for 12 bucks at a swap meet. The face sculpt is actually quite nice in person and matches the source art quite well and the rest of the sculpt is amazing considering the price of admission. Easily one of the nicest cheapo figures I have. No where near this one of course, but you get more than what you paid for. I'm still surprised GSC's first Sheryl is a rethread of someone else's prize figure.

I do agree it would be nice to see some more non-stage versions of Sheryl. It'd also be nice to have some other characters like Grace and Cathy, but yeah right.

I think I'll pass on the Nendo, but then I always do. Never quite got their appeal, especially at their price range at cons. Chibi part swapper, whoopdedoo.

The 5th figure in Banpresto's crossover costume series will be announced in the next day or two, so keep an eye on the interwebs for details.

Its Sheryl but she isnt dressed as Sara or Minmay or anything else that was speculated. She is dressed as...well, it made me laugh...in a groan-inducing way. News coming soon!

which kimono Sheryl? there are a few of them.

Not sure but the prizes A, B and C one; i think it was the first release with cast-off; just wondering how many peeps have her and their opinions on sculpt; i thought she was very well done; if I'm not mistaken, it was after the Banpresto black bunny prize Sheryl

hands down, the best of the Sheryl figures made by any company. i would argue that it still beats the upcoming Max Factory figure.

there were 3 variants. the standard which has a purplish kimono and blonde-ish hair, then a more limited one which had a black kimono and reddish hair, and an even more limited one with a pink-red gradient kimono and pink hair (the one linked by raptormesh)

i had 2 of the standard version, but sold 1 to a member here to make room for a black kimono version. unfortunately, even though i'm prepared to pay a premium for it i still have yet to find one...

I'm just happy to have the first release. The black one seems a bit too dark for my tastes but more power if you like it. Another favourite of mine was the Klan Klan they released ages ago (also a prize). Love a female soldier with a husky voice and not those whiny types.
