Coming from Alpha X Omega is Sheryl Nome form Macross Frontiers. Semi-castoffable she is slated for August relase with a retail price of 7,140 yen, one of the more reasonablely price figure I’ve seen recently. She is 1/8 scale and stands in at approx. 21cm tall. She is dressed in one of her concert outfits from they series that has a very military look to it, well except for the crotchless riding breeches. The castoff while not full nude does leave little to the imagination. There also appears to be a second set of hands, as all the castoff pics show her wearing black glove as apposed to the clothed versions white. She’s up for pre-order at Hobby Search, HLJ, Kid-Nemo, and Play-Asia.
I haven’t seen the Frontiers series myself but Sheryl seem to be the Linn Minmei of the series. If I’m wrong I’m sure Dancing Queen will correct me. And maybe tell me why the ridding crop? Dancing Queen has also done a very nice cosplay of Sheryl for Anime Expo.

not entirely sure why the riding crop but yes she is the songstress of the galaxy. btw have you noticed on the promo shots her left sleeve is upside down? i hope it’s fixed in time
Hadn’t noticed that. Usually once they announce a figure up for pre-order the design is set. So I don’t think anything will change. It could also be an assembly mishap of the color sample. We’ll have to wait and see.
nice one – link posted! http://twitter.com/animefigures
it’s not a riding crop, it’s acctually her microphone.
