YYYYY EMM CEE AY

Why, oh why, has no one managed to compile an AMV of Ranka doing the YMCA? Her arms spread in the "nyan nyan" dance would be a great start-- and her construction-worker look is perfect for the Village People, too. She does look darling in those big fat steel-toed boots, but I kinda wish she was wearing the hat.

Aesthetically speaking, I like Sheryls' top half better than Ranka's, and not just because of all those delicious curves-- I totally dig that buckle bustier, and the red flamey thing in her hair. I'm not totally digging the almost-not-even-there shorts (I call shenanigans; those things wouldn't stay up and you'd be seeing her naughty bits if they were that low anyway).

But down to those overly-long legs (and yes, they are insanely overly-long), I dig the ribbons, and what appears to be a flame tattoo on her outer thigh? Yum.

Each of these figures is due out in February and has an SRP of ¥6800 (about $76 USD). I'm not sure I'd pay that much for either-- Sheryl's face could use a little more definition, and Ranka's isn't as vibrant as it can be --but if I saw them at a good sale price I'd think about it. How about you?
