<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6013/5988934621_904f4356c6_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm7.static.flickr.com/6013/5988934621_904f4356c6_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6013/5988934621_cc6abe65d5_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Alter&#8217;s Bounty Hunter Yoko, the Pièce de Résistance of my Yoko figure collection. I&#8217;ve wanted this figure in my collection since I knew Alter was making her <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2008/08/30/bounty-hunter-yoko-figure-i-must-get/" target="_blank">back in &#8217;08</a>! Even when she was <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2009/02/16/the-one-yoko-to-rule-them-all/" target="_blank">released for pre-order</a>, I jumped and got my order in so fast! Yet personal debt plagued me at the time and I had to cut back on figure orders, and sadly, I had to drop my order and regretted it ever since!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6147/5989498386_15231dd424_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm7.static.flickr.com/6147/5989498386_15231dd424_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6147/5989498386_8fb7bbae32_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>This particular Yoko has been sold out since it came out, and has been practically impossible to find unless you wanted to pay upwards of $300+ on eBay. Heck, I&#8217;ve seen her on eBay for well over $1,000!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6009/5989492894_68d20edc87_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm7.static.flickr.com/6009/5989492894_68d20edc87_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6009/5989492894_49f49838b7_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I was lucky to find her on Yahoo Auctions Japan for just under 15,000¥. An awesome deal when you consider just how rare she is. I was also able to get her for that much since her box was damaged, which I didn&#8217;t care about as long as she herself was not damaged. While I didn&#8217;t show any pictures of her box, it&#8217;s not really that damaged IMO. The box has maybe just a little wear and tear, but not horribly damaged.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5989491660_68ec3d345a_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5989491660_68ec3d345a_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5989491660_8c658f8acc.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m currently at 24 Yoko&#8217;s in my collection. Still not enough though. I&#8217;m currently missing a few, like Wave&#8217;s Yomako Sensei figures and <a href="http://www.howagirlfigures.com/2010/02/13/loaned-figures-real-image-yoko/" target="_blank">Real Image Yoko</a>, but I&#8217;ll actually be getting her soon!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6012/5989491050_1cea601e3a_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm7.static.flickr.com/6012/5989491050_1cea601e3a_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6012/5989491050_aeee36a05b_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>So back to this figure: She&#8217;s prefect! Yes I&#8217;m biased, but this is one of the best Yoko figures out!</p>

<p>Since I got Yoko earlier this morning, I have been staring at her all day, just sitting at my desk, looking at this figure from every possible angle. I can&#8217;t find a thing wrong with her. Alter has made something so perfect, so wonderful, it&#8217;s hard for me as well to try and find a flaw in this particular Yoko. She&#8217;s been the unicorn of my collection; the one figure I missed that was becoming more and more impossible to find as time went on. Finally owning her, I feel so invigorated with my figure collecting. Now I&#8217;m curious, what is the one figure that you&#8217;ve always wanted but weren&#8217;t able to get and would love to own one day? Be it a Nendoroid, Figma, Scaled PVC or even a DD! Let me know in the comments! I&#8217;d love to know!</p>
<p><strong>-Figure Info-</strong><br />
Manufactured by Alter<br />
1/8 Scale<br />
Initial release in July &#8217;09<br />
Price of 7,800 Yen</p>
<p>While I highly doubt you&#8217;ll be able to find Yoko, maybe you can use one of these sites to find your one figure, that you&#8217;ve been wanting for years!</p>
