Worst Yoko Figure Ever

Most certainly the worst figure of Yoko ever ever....
Original text from Dancing Queen below.
Went to an Anime Convention in Mexico city this weekend. Really i went to spend time with family in Mexico but since there just happened to be an anime con at the exact same time i got my cousin to take me. and the first thing i see if this terrible terrible Yoko. poor Yoko they just completely gave her the worst face and body. Now that's for sure a Yoko i won't be getting for my ever growing Yoko collection since it's an insult to poor Yoko.

don't mean to double post just want to clear is that most figures/toys/etc. dealing with anime or cartoons are poorly designed in Mexico and the Yoko figure above is one of the typical things u would find. I do not mean to be racist or anything of that matter, just that it is a very typical thing to find horrible renditions of original products over at Mexico

Everyone seems to be focusing on the Yoko, when I think the Majikina Mina is worse (look at that beer gut!). However, the whole table is pretty terrible.

I personally think is a good try to go out of norm. Instead of following the original character design, they modify it. Have you notice how every character face looks the same ?

Sometimes there are times like this that I'm glad that Nia isn't very popular with figure makers, though most of the times I'm not. ^_^''
That figure is just awful.
Hobby fan
But isn't only Yoko that looks ugly because all the figures look terrible, I mean, maybe is the "art" of amateurs and they're just showing the results of it.
But you know, there're lots of people who get this type of figures as something normal and I think that's because they don't have our "level" in the bussines. Of course, for us, that kind of figures are something that we're never going to get into ours collection (not even in our worst nightmares ¬_¬...).

For a moment there, I though this was part of the hideous figure collection I saw here in Brazil... xD
http://xspblog.com/2008/11/28/narutard/
But I guess both are results from not very talented people trying to sculpt their own versions, but failing miserably and still trying to sell them as real products. :P
Hobby fan
Well XSportSeeker, that's a fact! I could gamble my salary on it.
But I insist, there're lots of people who buy this type of figures and that's the reason why some "amateurs" are producing them.
And by the way, that collection in Brazil was a reeeeaaaaally "interesting" one x_0!...

It does look weird at first, but I don't think it's as bad as everyone thinks it is. I think the artist might be better off dropping the attempt at an anime style altogether and just go for his own style when it comes to sculpting these girls. The bodies don't look too bad to me, although the abs are a bit "interesting." To be honest, I'm actually a little pleased to see something different and not generic, like 99% of the products out there are.

These look to me not like "figures" but just some pieces some fan, who is really bad at sculpting propoertionally but decent at painting, put together. Plenty of cons have this sort of thing all over the place... anyway, without slogging through the thousands of comments above to see if I'm repeating what someone said, those are my thoughts. I'd never even consider buying any of these.
They are all just homemeade sculpts of existing figures. Mina Majikina with a deformed stomach, Yoko... then a really messed up Hakufu there (look at her shoulder!!), plus the others in the background... all characters and sculpts I recognize, but not quite right.

This is what happens when a western "artist" tries to copy the real art of Japan. It's like the creators of Ben 10 meet anime figures...god, I think I'm going to be sick ~_~
And all the other figures around her is just as bad.

Body is completely off, pose screams "filthy skank", facial expression is retarded and the facial features are too chubby/voluptuous. It's like they took a figure, removed the original hair and put on Yoko's signature red hair and skull hairpin. 0.5/10
