Yoko
Yoko is Gainax's new Rei.
Watch as I list every prepainted figure that's been released/announced in the space of one year:
Konami Yoko. First scaled static Yoko. I have this. Never took it out of the box. Should have waited for the avalanche of Yokos which followed after her as this wasn't that great. She looks great in this shot because ALTZERO's photography is made of win.
First Yoko action figure, also by Konami. Horrendous looking. Sold superfast anyway, there weren't any other Yoko PVCs around at the time other than the ones Konami put out.
Enterbrain version. Face not quite there, but the build quality is good.
Wave's Spacesuit Yoko. I hate this costume. Haaate.
She looked ridiculous in the anime. Props to Wave for actually making her look sweet and non-whorey.
Wave's Sniper Yoko. Limited ed version sold at the last Wonder Festival and through Japan-only web order.
I heart my Eye Up Kamina, but their matching Yoko's face still bugs me.
Movic Yoko. Whopping 1/5 scale.
Revoltech Yoko. Pretty cute but I'm holding out for Figma making their own version of an articulated Yoko, their stuff looks way better.
Gift Yoko. No official announcement yet, but I saw this under the Gift booth in the last Wonfes, so yeah. I heart Gift, for they are making the most beautiful armoured Saber ever.
Nendoroid Yoko get! These chibi-little plastic things eat my soul.
I need to get immunity from cuteness >Д<;;
Alter is generally made of win so this will probably be epic.
Also by Alter. Konnichiwa Yomako-sensei~
Latest one by Wave. I prefer the face and skintone on the original garage kit, but it's a non-issue since I'm not interested in getting this anyway.
And for good measure, some of my favourite garage kits that will hopefully make the transition to PVC:
Pearl - Very different from Yoko's actual look, but I like it.
Vispo - Continues to win at everything except the trademark pointy chin which puts tons of people off.
Watch how the problem is solved in the hands of someone who kicks ass at garage kit building:
Sand down the chin, voila! I even prefer his way of styling the eyes.
Shunji Hagii from Studio Saru Bunshitsu - gorgeous Asianised interpretation.
Jetstream - she's usually displayed upside down for extra dynamism, but both views are awesome anyway. If this makes it to PVC it'd be my definitive animu-look Yoko.
TTGL whoredom is a good thing because Yoko is made of win.
And yes I have no life. How is yours today? 8D
