Forgot to post this after seeing at wcouldx - this 1/7 scale figure of Yuki is due out next Jan by Griffon - retail price is 9,975 yen. More pics at Hobby Stock. Thanks to Artefact for reminding me ^^; The decoration master photos for Griffons figures always looks good but the end product can be a bit dodgy in places. The only Griffon figure I have is Sonsaku Hakufu - her pupils were disastrous ToT. Will wait to see reviews of Gothloli Mikuru first before I ask for this one.

Looks sweet, but doesn't seem to capture the real Yuki IMO.

It seems like the anti-Yuki... O.o All happy and coherent... Is it bad that I like this one better? ^^; The dress is super cute!
(ID #351520) Posted on 2008/10/30 10:51
The dress is cute and adorable but the facial expression is just not Yuki-tan.

You're right, it does looks like yuki but somehow i couldn't feel the kudere aura which made her standout. or is it just me?
(ID #350919) Posted on 2008/10/30 00:15
Um, i think it doesn't match with nagato's nature profile. It's cute, but it could be done with any other anime character, less nagato ><. The hair, the expresion in her face, just doesn't match, i think.

I'd preferred if they had the black and white lolita with a guitar of Yuki instead. It seems so much cooler ^_^.

I was very much looking forward to Yuki since Haruhi and Mikuru look good, but what a disappointment. I mean, she is so not Yuki.

I dont like Haruhi Characters but this one is horrible in my opinion.She looks like they dropped her in a bucket of mixed paint...Not my cup of tea

It is a cute figure but it doesn't look like nagato yuki... It just looks like some random cute girl...

She looks more of a cosplayer of Yuki than the actual Yuki. For one thing...she looks like she's smiling

it looks like yuki got put into a different character by mistake.

She looks nice but the costume made her too different from the nagato Yuki that we all know.
(ID #351048) Posted on 2008/10/30 02:12

Actually there are images of her looking like that. I've seen a wallpaper of all 3 girls in Lolita outfits. She was in that outfit but STILL looked like Yuki Nagato. But I admit the costume looks too off compared to Mikuru and Haruhi in Loli outfits I really think it's the face, but of course we are entitled to our own opinion

While I'd like to see Nagato smile, that smile and the goth costume just doesn't suit her.

I preordered both haruhi and mikuru goth from griffon because I'm expecting for a Yuki to appear(of course for a set). But why oh why, what happened to my dear Yuki's face? orz...

she looks cute but abit too colourful if only it was black instead

Pre-ordered mine, have Haruhi and the Mikuru one should be in soon. Can't wait to have all 3, then I might actually not store them in their boxes and display them side by side. Should be lovely

Yup - this is nothing more but something based off of Yuki, since it obviously isn't her. And of all colours, why bright pink? Why would Mikuru - MIKURU get black while Yuki gets pink?

Hmm, I have a Griffon Enterprises figure (a 1/8 Yuzuhara Konomi), but it's a resin kit, so any faults in the paintwork will be purely my own.
(ID #351158) Posted on 2008/10/30 03:47
I do like this figure though I may not purchase it it is rare to see the brighter side of goth they should make the little princess hat and basket removable too
(ID #351163) Posted on 2008/10/30 03:52
i really like it as a figure, but not as a yuki figure.
(ID #351166) Posted on 2008/10/30 03:59
I already have the Haruhi one (from eBay) and I have a preorder for Mikuru (from anime-export.com) I cant see this one up for preorder there yet, anyone got any good ideas of sites to get it from?

I don't have any figures from Griffon. Although nice looking, I don't really like Yuki in this outfit. She just doesn't feel like Yuki to me. @_@
(ID #351196) Posted on 2008/10/30 04:57
saw this when it went up for pre-order at hobby search. too expensive in these times but it looks great.
(ID #351203) Posted on 2008/10/30 05:12

I think it's nice, don't mind the outfit, but it seems there's something wrong on her face. The figure is still very cute, but dunno if it's face proportions or mouth... but something is out of place, doesn't look like Yuki like most said. I'd still buy it though, if I could get all goth-loli figures.
(ID #351226) Posted on 2008/10/30 05:40

I really love her outfit, the details are so cute. But her hair... it looks a little funny, maybe too long in the back?
(ID #351233) Posted on 2008/10/30 05:49
This costume seems somewhat weird on Yuki...
(ID #351244) Posted on 2008/10/30 06:03

That figure looks like it's made out of cake, especially the dress. Out of Yuki and the other 2 in this lolita clothing, i find myself more drawn more to Mikuru, simply because i prefer the clothing style.
(ID #351319) Posted on 2008/10/30 07:33
Hmmm, bit of a mix bag this one. While the figure itself looks really nice.... but it doesnt really capture the expressionless face of Yuki. Still an interesting mix ^^
(ID #351338) Posted on 2008/10/30 07:45
When I saw the unpainted prototype of this figure I was horrified by it, I also thought I hated the colors in her dress from the original illustration...yet...I REALLY REALLY like this figure!I'm so happy I can complete my Haruhi Goth/Loli set loving each one! I currently own 2 Griffon figures (Saya and Talho), my Griffon Haruhi is on her way to me as a type.
(ID #351367) Posted on 2008/10/30 08:08
Even though she doesn't seem very Yuki-like, I absolutely adore it!
(ID #351384) Posted on 2008/10/30 08:28
Not a big fan of lolita dresses. It looks great on Yuki though. For $90+... that can get a lot of figures...
(ID #351394) Posted on 2008/10/30 08:35
Her face looks weird. Something about doesn't look like Yuki. I like the dress because I have a wallpaper with her in that dress.
(ID #351403) Posted on 2008/10/30 08:46
This figure of Yuki reminds me of another figure of Yuki with EGL outfit in black and white my friend and I saw in Japantown. My friend as the die-hard fan of the series reject the figure, saying that's so not like Yuki, and she just won't wear that type of outfit ever.
(ID #351468) Posted on 2008/10/30 10:08

I love the dress, but a little less pink would make it look a lot better on Yuki in my opinion.

For the sake of Haruhi's happiness Yuki would be even more "happier" hehehe. I dont think Yuki is all that happy, surelly she was forced into that outfit like Mikuru is used to. Those goth-loli SOS-dan figures are based on a Megami Poster, so it was something original. Dont think it was based on the series mood, but I like those Griffon Goth-Loli figures. My favorite Griffon figure is their Etna, I got her and I love it.
