Innocentsake Posted January 19, 2015 In the end after debating and debating I decided to not pre-order anything haha ^^;;; As much as I liked Ranka's outfits I guess since I wasn't getting Ranka I just didn't feel the absolute need to get them in the end. I suppose that saves me waiting on them, but I look forward to seeing pictures of what everyone else pre-ordered once it all arrives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Victoria Posted January 23, 2015 I regret know that I didn't preorder Sheryl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N2DollsNow Posted January 23, 2015 I pre-ordered Sheryl very late on the last day which effectively locked me in - no canceling. So the last seven months (about) was able to get Alna through Lottery & now Sheryl through pre-order. For DD, I guess I could call these my unicorn scores. Fall 2015 should give us plenty of time to prepare for the home coming of these ladies. No crying when payment notifications begin arriving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Posted January 23, 2015 I regret know that I didn't preorder Sheryl. :'( Just wait it out. People give up pre-orders. If not people will sell upon arrival because they don't like them or whatever, you'll have a chance for her. ^^ All I ordered were outfits....>.>;; I just couldn't say no to Sheyl's date outfit.

Pickle Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I searched Ranka up on Youtube today since I'm not familiar with Macross Frontier at all. I found this cute video of her and now…the wait for Ranka becomes harder. She's soooooo adorable and her voice is amazing~ (and I also found out she did the Nyan Nyan song; which I saw a video of that a long time ago and never knew that was her until now ^^") Here's the amazing vid if you guys wanna check it out (or haven't seen Ranka in the anime like I basically haven't): Makes me curious to try the watch the anime but I have no idea how I'd get ahold of it to just try it out and not buy an entire season, etc. >w< Now to wait for the long arrival of Ranka-chan~ Here's a cute pic from one of the Volks blog (sorry if it's already been posted but I don't think I saw it): Edited March 21, 2019 by Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foo Posted January 24, 2015 She's soooooo adorable and her voice is amazing~ She's actually GUMI too :3 Volks said they were going to do other Vocaloids, Ranka kind of counts as one (・・') 天ノ弱/Ama no Jaku https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83BW6koXM3Y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it is her voice. I don't like the style really. My apologies. I'm not a Vocaloid fan at all. >_< Buuut that is very interesting information about her~ Eh, I guess Ranka could count as a Vocaloid but it's really only the voice actor that counts not the actual Ranka Lee character. But, that's my opinion. Edited March 21, 2019 by Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foo Posted January 24, 2015 Eh, that's not my cup of tea. Even if it is her voice. I don't like the style really.My apologies. I'm not a Vocaloid fan at all. >_< Heh, no problem. GUMI is a 'normal' Vocaloid unlike the Crypton ones (Miku, twins, Luka), in that GUMI actually sounds like Megumi Nakajima singing; the Crypton ones are designed to have certain sonic qualities, rather than to sound like their voice actresses. So basically anyone can use GUMI/Megumi to sing a song, whatever type of song they want Maybe ? The Crypton ones sound artificial, but that makes them easier to use. For example, there are some songs that Megumi wouldn't naturally sing well, but Miku can... "sing" just about anything. Eh, I guess Ranka could count as a Vocaloid but it's really only the voice actor that counts not the actual Ranka Lee character. Yeah, but Gumi's design is actually inspired by Ranka. Quoting the wiki, The original avatar character of the software was drawn by the illustrator Masami Yuuki (ゆうきまさみ Yuuki Masami). Her design is often said to be influenced by Ranka Lee's character (one of the first roles done by Megumi Nakajima as seiyuu). Ranka Lee's main outfit (which she wears for the notable song Seikan Hikou) contains the colors green, yellow, and orange. This has never been officially confirmed, but is still a popular assumption with both Japanese and overseas VOCALOID fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SchroedingersCat Posted January 30, 2015 Oh wow, thanks for that last link. I still haven't got around to seeing Macross FB7 yet. This definitely pushes up my list of priorities. Totsugeki Love Heart is one of my favourite songs. Now with +/- 15% more uncertainty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

needsmorelace Posted February 23, 2015 I'm pretty sure they're Volks outfits. The pink one on Ranka looks very familiar. Someone please back me up so I know I'm not crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hitoma Posted February 23, 2015 I don't care if they're past or present outfits. I want to see better pictures of them in those outfits. More pictures please (hopefully some will surface on twitter or flickr). I wonder when we're going to find out what outfits won in the outfit voting contest.

More pictures please (hopefully some will surface on twitter or flickr). I wonder when we're going to find out what outfits won in the outfit voting contest. The outfits in the photo appear to be the Pink Swallowtail Maid set (original version, not the newer one with lacing instead of buttons on the front) followed by some Volks wedding gowns (not sure which exactly) and then on the other side of the standard Ranka/Sheryl is the Volks Guiding Sister dress from 2012. These might be the picks from Tenshi no Koromo for re-release, or could just be Volks teasing us with things we can't buy. jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shizusan Posted February 26, 2015 I have my Sheryl on Pre-Order with the additional outfits. Can't wait till they come in. That closest picture of Ranka in the pink outfit looks fantastic. I wonder how it will look on my Momo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenDragon Posted March 22, 2015 I ordered Ranka in the the preorder and seem to remember it saying that they will only ship to the address that was entered then. Problem is that I'm going to be moving to another state in a few months and I didn't know that I'd be moving when I made my order. Have any of you had any experience with having to change your mailing address with Volks while waiting for a preorder?. I can't do anything about it now though because we haven't even begun looking for a house in the new location yet. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

A little late, but the last couple pre-orders I was a part of, Volks let you change your shipping address once as long as it was within the same country.

Hitoma Posted April 4, 2015 I-....I think I'm understanding this correctly and am about to scream. http://www.volks.co.jp/macrossf/special_development03/ If I'm understanding it correctly, Sheryl's blue military outfit will become an official DD outfit! Hopefully it won't cost an arm and a leg. If it isn't, I'll most likely be buying two of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
