Ranka!!!
Saw this in the convenience store. Not so sure about mixing Lolita fashion with the sexy swimsuit motif, but if that helps ticket sales then more power to them. Looking forward to the movie!

Shinjuku Wald9 cinema has the teaser poster for Macross Frontier The Movie: Itsuwari no Utahime (The False Songstress) displayed in their main lobby.

The trailer had new music and about sixty percent of the animation was all new footage while the rest was from Frontier episodes one and two. This was an all new trailer and not the (Tentative title) trailer shown at the Macross Launch Event back in February.

The figure's motif is Lynn Minmay passionately singing -Do You Remember Love? -, inspired by a scene in the Macross movie of the same name. Yamato has adopted a policy limiting the sale of all figures to pre-order customers.
The doll's base will utilize Obitsu's 50cm body, and her clothing will be made of fabric. A Lynn Minay original wig will be launched for her hair. In addition to the body and wig, gloves, boots, stage costume, microphone, earrings, and other accessories will also be included.
Retailing at 59,800 yen, the vmf50 Lynn Minmay 50cm figure is scheduled to launch at the end of September.
