ExMode Ranka Lee
Although I've already decided to turn myself away from fix pose figure collections to focus on action figures (Figma, AFC, Azone...), this particular Alpha x Omega sculpt temps me once more! >,<
Being my top tiered fave chara (Other than Lacus...) which may launch me into spending frenzy, the release of this figure, especially in her fluffy dress form, is tormenting my doki doki heart... @_@
Still about half a year away from release, this Excellent Model (ExMode... XD) Macross Frontier Ranka Lee Chou Jiku Cinderella Version from Alpha x Omega (A collaboration between Alter and Megahouse!) will feature exchangeable parts to switch between her stage dress and bikini outfit, as well as several different arm posing, Kira~n! handsign included... :3c She'll be priced at about 6,800 yen, in 1/8 scale...
A pity I've made my commitment to get myself the other Ranka, the Action Figure Collection series by Megahouse, of I'm currently searching for a way to preorder her due to it being limited to only to the Hobby Japan magazine January issue... I'll be grabbing a copy later this week to see how I can place my PO on her... ^_~
May need to enlist the help of comrade who lives in Japan tho as it seems the sales of these kinds of limited items are surely limited only within the land of the rising sun... >,< Or else I'll have to burn more wallets to get it from Yahoo! Auction or eBay... T_T
Haha just BFTL la :P
I'm getting this Ranka, and will wait for Robot Damashii line to release the rest of VF-25. Gonna make a big diorama with Megahouse Sheryl and Chogokin Macross Quarter
Good looking figure other than... the face. It somehow looks skinnier/long on the image.
Everyone seems to think that. I notice it more in the "kira!" face than the other one. I really want this figure though, maybe these photo shoot images just look odd? Have to see this one up close to decide... hmmm
Try Goody-Japan. They'll pre-order her for you even if it's amail order. You'll have to pay for the shipping as well of course.
Hm... Now that I know this is coming out, I'm so tempted to get her. But I already have the Ichiban Kuji Ranka and the Megahouse School Uniform Ranka...
Really want that mail order exclusive, but I going to get enough cash in time?
When I said 'shipping' I meant 'Magazine'.
Is it just me, or Ranka looks an aweful lot like Kafuka Fuura in the middle shot...
I'm really loving this figure, especially with the extra pieces. Just to get the ordering correct. First you have to buy the Monthly Hobby Japan Jan 2010. In the HJ mag, their will be a slip that you mail in to order it?
No... The HJ applies to the AFC I mentioned weeks ago...

A "CAST-OFF" Ranka Lee!! nice after i get my sheryl nome megahouse & VF25S armored messiah.
Haha. They hid it nicely but after logic reasoning you will realize that even in cast-off form she still will have her shoes and knee-highs^0^
YES! Why did it take so long to get Ranka in "KIRA~!" Mode??!!!
Although something's turning me off this particular one....
it might be just the photos but what the hell is wrong w/ her *kira* fingers? they look a bit stubby
yeah..i see wrong in her fingers..slipped something?
Maybe it's the particular angle, but I do agree they look a bit short.
Definitely a consideration.
When I first saw the previews of this figure I couldn't wait to get her, but after looking at it colored I have to say it doesn't feel like Ranka that much. If I wasn't so picky with figures now I would probably get her.
