The sign says 1/20 scale Lynn Minmay DYRL version, which would be a tiny figure. But under that it says 1/20 scale VF-1A/S Ichijo Hikaru, which would be a ginormous valk. :o

This one looked so small, and it was difficult for me to take some pics.

I'm curious to see the 1/20 VF-1A/S. ;)

My mind immediately went to Toynami when I saw the first image of those figures. It wasn't surprising that yes, these are coming from Toynami. Who buys this stuff?

Have any of you seen those horrible "retro" 3.75 figures that some company makes? They've licensed just about everything: Back to the Future, Alien, Star Trek, etc, etc. The figures are done in the old late 70s early 80s Kenner Star Wars style. All of the figures are effectively the same with different paint jobs. They're disproportionate with really long torsos and short legs. They look terrible even compared to battered original Star Wars figures.

The market for those Toynami figures is the same as for the retro figures I mention. They're for older people who really aren't into expensive retro-collectibles but still have an appetite for goodies related to properties from the olden days. And, to be fair, the Toynami figures look higher quality than the retro figs I mention.

Of those figs pictured:

Rick looks about 8 years old. I'm sure that's some good fuel for the Macross age discussion.

Minmei... Well, Minmei looks OK, I guess. It's always difficult to do figures like that. They probably should have gone for a more cheerful expression. She looks really disappointed, and that doesn't fit with the Chinese dress Minmei of the early series.

Miriya looks stoned out of her mind.

Max looks OK. I guess. He needs his trademark glasses though.

Roy... It's impossible to say much about Roy. One picture has his face completely shadowed and the other has his face at an angle where it's impossible to tell much about it.

Articulation looks passable. Being Toynami, I'm sure all the joints are loose and the figure falls apart if you look at it funny.
