Sheryl Nome 1/8 Figure

The Sheryl Nome figure I ordered from J-list came in. She's part of the Excellent Model Series from Megahouse. The figure was inspired from the image above which is featured on the offical Macross Frontier promtional van.


Sheryl Nome is one of the main characters from Macross Frontier, the most recent chapter of the Macross series. If you haven't seen Macross Frontier I highly recommend it. The original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross served as the first of the 3 anime series that would come to make up the Robotech Saga here in the US.

Sheryl's base reads "Rise Up!"


Like the Manaka Komaki figure I posted the other day, I did not realize this was a cast off figure until I opened it. Neither the J-list website or the box it came in mentioned it was a cast off. Well I say the box didn't, but it's possible some of the text on the back of the box may have. I don't read Japanese so I can't say for sure.


One problem with the figure is her top is to small to actually get the ends to connect when you have it on. Luckily her hair covers this unless you look real close. Anyone else with this figure have the same problem?


Sheryl comes with two different size bullet accessories. This is the smaller of the two in the picture.



She has hearts over her pupils.

I'd like to get this Ranka Lee from the same figure series. But it comes out in May and not sure if I'll have the money for it since I'm saving for something. And unlike the Sheryl figure, J-list actually points out that she's a cast off figure.

To Heart 2 Manaka Komaki Figure

Purchased this figure of Manaka Komaki from To Heart 2 a few weeks ago from Play-Asia. Did not realize this figure was cast off when I ordered, as Play Asia had no mention of it in the item description or pictures for the figure.

Walking along with her book bag and a fictional Pocky type snack called Poppo.




A gust of wind gives a quick peak beneath her skirt.




The one complaint on the figure is the gap where you remove the top of her uniform.


Extremely cute with just the skirt on.


Fully cast off.








Cute little stars on her pantsu.

I would love to play the To Heart visual novels. Wish some group would do a translation patch or even Manga Gamer picking it up since they've already done some big name games like Shuffle, Da Capo, and Higurashi.

Tamaki Kosaka Figure

Just got in this new figure of Tamaki Kosaka from To Heart 2. She came with Dengeki G's Festival Deluxe Vol 4 which is still available at J-list.



More pictures after the jump...




The swimsuit can be completely removed allowing you display her completely in the nude.


All you have to do is take off her head and then slip the suit off her.


Both legs have these really noticeable seam lines since her lower legs are detachable. But you can really only see them when viewing from this angle. I doubt many people will display her at this angle, so they aren't a huge issue. There is however a seam on her right arm at the elbow that can't be covered up.

This is my first Tamaki figure, but probably won't be my last. There are at least 2 or 3 other figures of her that I really want to get.

You can see pictures of her cast off at Figure.fm or my Flickr account.
