Even though FREEing has moved on and has announced plans to release more characters from the Lucky Star cast in their 1/4 scale glory, I’m not yet finished with the original four girls ;) In the past, I have shown their seifuku and miko outfits but this time I have a new treat: Cheerleader uniforms!
In order to get these very limited cheerleader outfits, owners of all four of the original 1/4 scale LS girls had to send in their proofs of purchase to FREEing and they would send you the outfits for free ^^. Quite a nice way to reward customers who bought all of the figures. Unfortunately, this offer was only available for folks with a Japanese address so I wasn’t eligible myself.
I really didn’t want to miss out on these cute cheerleader outfits so I asked around for folks in Japan who would be willing to mail in the offer for me and found a kind soul who was willing to do it ^^. Selidor from over at figure.fm was in Japan at the time and let me mail the proofs of purchase to her and several months later the outfits were mailed to her. She then mailed them to me in the US. All worked out nicely. Thanks again, Selidor! ^^
As for the outfits themselves, they may look familiar if you’ve seen the anime series. These are the outfits featured in the opening sequence and at the end of the anime ^^.
They’re pretty simple but quite cute, don’t you agree? :3
Konata commanding her moe forces
Tsuntsun Kagami ;)
Silly Tsukasa ;)
And dojiko Miyuki :)
Together, they are Lucky Star! xD
Sure, they were expensive and their 1/4 scale size takes up lots of display space, they’ve turned out to be well worth it. FREEing definitely knows how to keep a customer interested. These cheerleader outfits brings the total to four unique outfits for each of the characters. And these ones were free from FREEing (though I had to pay a bit to get them all the way to the USA ^^;). So, yeah, quite satisfied as a Lucky Star fan and I plan to acquire at least a few of the new 1/4 Lucky Star figures that FREEing has lined up. More on that in a few months ;)
haha I love this crazy theme song XD
They are really huge aren’t they
the figures and the outfits are nice ;)
Yes, quite large. Right now I have the setting on top of my display shelves as they’re too large to actually go on the shelves xD
The Lucky Star girls look very cute in the cheerleader gear. ^^
Hai ^^
Wow, nice of them to send it to you for free, if you don’t count S&H lol, especially since you spent so much for them. Nice of Selidor to help you out ^^. The girls look very cute.
Yeah, took a bit of effort to get the outfits all the way in the US, but definitely worth it for me :D
That is so cool you were able to find someone willing to do that for you. THe outfits are great and very nice craftmanship on them as well.
Yeah, it was a lucky break to find some one. I was almost at the end of the deadline to send them in too ;)
Those 1/4 scale figs can really take up some serious space but they sure look great! It’s nice that you’re able to get those outfit for the girls, very cute.
Thanks ^^
I’m not as crazy about the cheerleading outfits in comparison to how much I REALLY liked the miko and winter uniforms. I’m starting to lose hope that I’ll be able to buy alternate outfits for my girls :( I’m curious was the proof of purchase cutting the barcode off the boxes? Or something else?
Not the UPC if I remember. Each box had a little proof of purchase marker on the top with the number of the girl’s number in the figure series. Konata was 1, Kagami 2, Tsukasa 3, and Miyuki 4. I sent those in.
Wow the stitching and details on these are actually really nice!
Looking very cute indeed c:
Yep, they turned out pretty well, I think ^^
Hello,
sorry to ask something of you but for all the lucky star fans out there who didn’t manage to get the bonus outfits (mainly the cheerleader outfit) would you consider doing a picture of one of them flat on the floor from the front ant the back (with a ruler next to it would be ideal) so we can try to make them ourselves?
thanks a bunch!!!!
