It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]
Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]
I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
I might have to go out on a limb here, and say while I love all the Yoko figures, and all the figures I’ve gotten up until this point. This Sheryl might just be a new favorite figure of mine. Not only is she just an amazingly made figure, an awesome character from a show I really liked. It’s also a figure in an outfit I just recently cosplayed and loved!
My cosplay from this year’s Anime Expo ’09. I loved this outfit from Sheryl so much that i couldn’t help it and I had to cosplay her! So I have to admit i’m a tad bit biased towards this amazing figure!
This combo between Alter and Megahouse to create Alpha X Omega seems to be slowly becoming a powerhouse withing the figure game. They just keep releasing these amazing quality figures of some of my favorite characters!
Riding crop and all! don’t piss of Sheryl!
I just adore this outfit, it’s just the right amount of sexy without being too flashy!
Now you can barely tell, but if you look between her hair, you can see they even added in her Earring! Such a nice touch!
Now while I did cosplay this outfit, I didn’t cosplay what it turns into as you’ll see it gets a bit naughty from here on out. If you have sensitive eyes to half naked figures I’d turn back now!
You can remove the jacket and pants to reveal a very naughty version that she transforms into during her concert.
I’d want to hit up the gym a little bit more before I attempt to cosplay this version of Sheryl, so for now i’ll stick to keeping my clothes on.
Another reason why I cosplayed Sheryl, we are pretty close in size in the chest department.
Such amazingly short shorts, mine were a tad bigger for my own comfort.
Only anime characters or figures can make Buttcrack look sexy, on a regualr it just looks nasty.
Love the blond to pink transition on her hair. Sheryl’s hair never really stayed the same color throughout the show so it’s hard to decide which version if best/correct.
Very nice detail on the second mic. Maybe i need to repaint my own?
While Sheryl looks amazing in her short shorts and tube top, i personally prefer the blue concert outfit so it’ll rare to see her casted off while displayed here.
While i’ve admitted to being biased towards Sheryl, she truly is an amazing figure that deserves to be in everyone’s collection. That is if you can get your hands on her in time, she’ flying off the shelves like hotcakes! I highly suggest getting your own before it’s too late!

I don’t know, I think you could do the cast off version of the costume…
No, this is NOT me wanting to see more attractive half-naked women on the Internet, not at all….. >.> <.<
maybe i’ll do it eventually, after some more gym time
Very nice indeed. Thou those short seem to be a bit technically impossible, even with the braces I don’t think they would stay up.
it would be impossible to hold them up without the suspenders
nice but I’m at school and I got dirty looks.
maybe should have waited till you got home? or they were giving you jealous looks cause they wanted sheryl themselves
nevar! then school wold have been boring.
true, good thing my site isn’t blocked at schools, my site was blocked at my last job π
“Another reason why I cosplayed Sheryl, we are pretty close in size in the chest department.”
You are a proud, proud otaku. A very high five to you. π
*high fives back!*
Ah, both yours and the Inferno Project post have made me want Sheryl. As my favorite Macross Frontier girl, I must get my hands on this figure. I had no idea Alpha x Omega was a collaboration bewtween Alter and Megahouse, gotta keep and eye on their future releases now.
i don’t think i’ve seen that other review, have a link?

ok i’ve seen that review but i saw it on figure.fm but didn’t click to go to the site tehe
Wow, that’s an amazing figure. I can see why it might be your new fav.
she’s really stunning
This figure is amazing :O I especially love the hair. What did you use as the backround? It’s so shiny +__+
i’ve used this type of background before, and often

it’s tinsel used for decorations during xmas time, i stocked up on the different colors last xmas
Congratulation for this beautiful review. The figure is really sexy (but i don’t like her clothes).
see her clothes are what i love the most about it!
Awesome pics! Lookin’ forward to the “Naughty Shreyl Variant” Cosplay. ^_^
Keep rockin’ and rollin’, girl. Love it! ^_^
it would be a fun cosplay, but won’t be for a while
I have to admit, when you first mentioned you were going to cosplay Sheryl I was hoping it would be the naughty transformation variant. <.<
haha, well it seems to be an outfit that people like
I have to wonder.
I always thought Macross was a combat related anime..
it is but they integrate singing into it, it’s a bit confusing but interesting
I pre-ordered mine a few weeks ago — hopefully mine will show up soon (can’t wait!).
So, what have the figure manufactures done in the mean time to torture me??
How about taking pre-orders for another Sheryl figure:
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10097989 (better price)
http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=8371 (better pictures)
Maybe a little inappropriate for cosplay, but looks like it will be a nice figure!
i’ll be getting it for sure
I’m guessing your going to get the N.A. Sheryl too?^^
I hope painted pics of Alpha’s Ranka come out soon….
i’ll be getting them both most likely
She is really nice. I loved it when figure makers pay attention to those tiny details like her earring you mentioned. It just shows how much effort they made to try to make the figure as accurate and true to the character.
yes, i was quite surprised to see the earring since it’s pretty hidden in there, they could have skipped it since her hair was covering that part
Very sexy figure~ I need to watch that anime still, everyone seems to love it!
it’s a good series, not the best concerning Macross itself but it’s a good stand alone series
Holy moly, I just realized that your wig does the blond/pink thing too! You have the best costumier in the universe.
lol, well my friend helped me (more like made it all) the costume but i just bought the wig like that since it was perfect for Sheryl
Sheryl is an amazing figure!!!
I need to get here sometimes later…
I love the photos of her!!!
Just wow!!!
she’s gonna be a tad hard to find later if you keep waiting!
[…] another review, you can go look at Dancing Queen’s writeup for great photos and a distinctive perspective on Sheryl. And there’s a review of not […]
MegaHouse carried out a little marvel with Sheryl. Your green background emphasizes this figure.
thanks, i was going for a concert feeling
Whooooa she’s amazing! I couldn’t even tell at first that it was cast off! Most of the time it’s just so blatantly obvious.
which is why i love this figure so much! for it being a cast of figure the blue outfit doesn’t look bulky
I ended up skipping her but I DID order the figure of Miyuki cosplaying as Sheryl π pretty excited. But wait…does this figure cast off even further? Or does it stop at the black tube top thing?
it stops at the black tube outfit
When I went to the pre-order page it said “warning 18 +” so I wrongly assumed she undressed more, I actually like the figure a lot more learning that. I know I shouldn’t be so conservative but I don’t like being able to strip down my girls to the bare skin *blush*. Can still order her at Toyslogic so I may go after her now.
just got my sheryl too and totally lovin her ^^
and woah nice cosplay for sure.
thanks, it was a really fun cosplay to do!
It’s nice to see another great review for the Megahouse Sheryl Nome figure. I’ve got to hand it to the folks that designed her. The sculpt is simply beautiful. It captures the movement of Sheryl as if she were in concert. The only drawback is that a part of her cast off clothing (the upper chest) is a pain in the arse to put back on. The peg system underneath her arm pits make it for a very tight fit. Everything has to be in the right place (at the right time). >__<
i do have to agree with you there, it is a tight fit but not impossible. but her pose really is just amazing and it does give off the proper movements she’d be making while dancing for her concert
I saw her in person…she has a great presence. Definitely made my must have list. She looks exactly like your pictures in person but I don’t know why just physically seeing her she made am even bigger impression on me.
*an even bigger impression
she really is such a beautiful figure, i had to own her the moment i saw her promotional pictures
[…] just has a certain presence, I really fell hard for her after I saw the review of her at HowaGirlFigures. I was lucky that Toyslogic still had them up for order at the time of her review.Β They actually […]
