Noriko Takaya

Never really got round to taking decent pics of this Noriko Takaya figure by Kotobukiya until recently.

For those who are not familiar, Noriko stars in the excellent oldie Top Wo Nerae - Gunbuster. A clip of Noriko in action below.

I think this was my third figure - the first being Aya Natsume from Tenjo Tenge and the second being DOA Kasumi.

Nearly forgot to mention that one of these pics is in the Wallpaper pool together with a pic of the Primaries.
For those who don't know what the Wallpaper Tool does - it makes wallpaper of any size up to the original size of photo. It also detects your screen size too.

I remember liking this figure so much that I took it home from work on the weekends ^^;

The blue pointy thing is a miniature version of the Exelion that appears in the anime.

Paintwork and sculpt fantastic it is. Lively is the pose which happy it makes you.

Cute bottom has Noriko-chan.

While I liked Nono in the second Top wo Nerae series "Diebuster", the original "Gunbuster" series was more enjoyable I thought.

The face cute is very.

You can remove Noriko from the base which will leave a big gaping hole in her leg.

This figure initially came out as a garage kit many many years ago and finally as a PVC a few years back. I remember member AndyH was able to get hold of one in Akihabara when he was over so if you want one too then Akiba is a good place to start. Nakano Boradway may have some too.
