Got a new Yoko in the mail today, it’s Gift’s Yoko and she is just stunning. She’s #12 in my ever growing army of Yoko figures, with no stopping in sight. I also have to say that as of now of all the Yoko figures i own i think this Yoko is my new favorite!
Not only is shequite large at 1/5 scale, but she is well proportioned as well for being such a large scaled figure.
This Yoko might be my biggest figure to date. When i compare her to the 1/5 Movic Yoko i notice how that Yoko’s legs are quite long for her body and she isn’t as proportioned as this lovely Yoko.
The paint is absolutely flawless and there are absolutely no hiccups on her paint wise.
Also love the tone of red they’ve given her for her hair. Many Yoko figures tend to have a more pinkish tone in their hair. While this lovely Yoko had a more deep red tone of red that fits her original design.
Love her face as well, how she holds her hair clip in with her teeth is just darling!
Love the wrinkles in her thigh highs and the detail on her boots as well!
Very Nice, High Five! Her Yoko-oopai also are very well designed and look more like how boobs look like in real life. My complaint with Movic’s yoko saggy boobs are that even though a woman with breasts that big would get saggy, a 14 year old wouldn’t have saggy boobs. She’s have nice perky ones since she is so young! Trust me on this, I’m a girl! I’d know!
Love how they gave her gloves and pants a more plasticy feel, would look terrible on cosplay but works very nicely for this figure
Of original Yoko in her normal attire pre-timeskip i’d have to say so far this is my favorite figure. There are still plenty more Yoko figures to go around! Space Yoko, Swimsuit Yoko, Yomako Sensei, Bounty hunter Yoko, maybe even streetclothes yoko if we’re lucky?
I’ve had plenty of people ask me which is my favorite Yoko, and i’m gonna have to say it’s this darling girl. She’s quite large and a bit pricey but absolutely worth every penny. It’s figures like this that make me adore what i do and collecting figures as a whole. When you get something as amazing and dazzling as Yoko, it’s worth all the money spent! Don’t have a Yoko yet? This is one to get!

Nice Yoko figure shoot.
im quite a yoko fan myself and till date i own 2 yoko’s and usually i wouldn’t buy multiple “clones” of the same figure, but for the really good ones, i dont mind making exceptions
my gripe with this yoko though: no sniper rifle XD
and to me, one of yoko’s biggest attraction would be her sniper rifle

oh see that’s one thing i thought was interesting about this yoko, that she has no rifle, not like i can’t steal the one that came with movic’s yoko and pose her with it

heh I canceled this for the resin Yoko.. but may pick her when I go to Japan sometime later this year.. I still think that the enterbrain 1/7 Yoko looks nicer than this :p

the enterbrain yoko is still a contender but it’s all up to personal prefence

She is super gorgeous… all these reviews/pics of her of late are too cruel… there are so many figures I want…

Ah, alas, the negative side of preordering from a US retailer. She’s such a dirty dirty girl

That is a very nice Yoko, the most appealing one I’ve seen yet.
When are you going to take a group picture of your army of Yokos? ^^;

I can see why you love this Yoko to pieces. The details are just stunning! I can’t get over the wrinkles in her stockings; they look so real!
Dancing Queen Reply:
May 6th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
I love how they also gave her a good color on the stockings, like the enterbrain yoko. Most other’s just get pink ones that don’t look exactly right
2:10 pm on May 6th, 2009 12
She is a BEAUT. Once in a while, you know when a figure comes along and catches your eye because it’s just so stunning? This is one of those figures. Nice catch, I’m still waiting for mine.

We all now live in fear of your Yoko army, please only use the power for good.
One thing nice about big figures is that there is always plenty of detail. And this one is no exception. Love the pose, not a power action shot but a more private moment with Yoko putting her hair up.

you know that’s exactly what i love about this figure, it’s not the normal action post with her gun looking badass. It’s a personal moment of her getting ready for the day.
10:16 pm on May 6th, 2009 16
Beautiful Yoko. This is probably my second favorite Yoko PVC after Alter’s bounty hunter one. I wonder how big this one is compared to my giant Yoko resin? (She’s supposed to be 1/6 but looks much larger.)

i’m surprised for such a large figure the detail, in my experience larger figures don’t get as much detail as 1/8 figures but this beauty is an exception!
8:18 am on May 8th, 2009 18
I’m waiting for mine. I’m extremely happy to hear it lived up to the high hopes I had for it. I agree that she looks to be the best of the young versions of Yoko for sure. I’ll have to have bounty hunter and yomako in front of me with her to decide if she is my all time favorite.
Dancing Queen Reply:
May 8th, 2009 at 9:46 am
once those two come into the mix it’ll be hard to choose an all time favorite yoko for sure
6:12 am on May 12th, 2009 19
I want one with a gun provided. ^^
At this moment, Koto one is still the one on my wishlist. To honest, it’s the only I really like from the promo shots.
I hope Koto don’t disappoint.

i understand wanting a gun but like TheGeek said it’s more of a private moment of Yoko getting ready and doing her hair and not being badass and needing her gun at that moment

I’m still waiting for mine , i hope tomorrow ^^
Love your pics and i’m glad to see that this Yoko is awesome , it’ll be my first ^^ (compared to your army , it’s not much i guess :p)
