The Alter Yoko that we saw a while ago unpainted was recently on display at the Mega Hobby. Tis 1/8 scale and due out in June - See more Alter goodies at Hobby Stock and Akiba Hobby.

Ok something is really wrong around the waist O_O
Two titanium stick implants?
And her face... Reminds me of Major's from GITS. ^^;

yea its kind of UN-her

Well, I guess you can see the titanium stick in certain people. The face would look pretty like her if the animators are going to give her a GAR scene. :D

You're right, much too mature looking than Yoko should be. I don't think it's a bad thing though.

Well I think I found what's so bothering with her face...
Her lips are simply not painted! That's probably why it looks somewhat off or strange.
I also think that her "lower eyes" should be less "separated". Like that they somewhat defy the laws of physic... I mean that the bikini should make them more close to each other... No? ;)

I've managed not to order any Yoko figures yet, but that will change once this one goes up for preorder.

Not bad, but not the greatest Yoko I have seen. Will pass this one by.

I was really looking forward to this, but......... after seeing this, just feel that something is just not right. Might wait for more photos and price to decide whether to get her or not.

that makes her waistline and lower abs looks more strange. I guess its too life-like for a lot of people's likings

Yeah it looks like they didn't balance the body enough; the legs are too straight while the upper waist is way back, looks like she's gonna fall backwards, but what do i know.

A bit different from what I expected. However, the details seems to be quite well done. As some said, need more photos of this figure to have a clearer view.

Love the look of this Yoko. Will definitely be a purchase for me.

Wow!! I want it!!
Um, cool figure, but her face seems kinda off. It seems as if one of her eyes are bigger then the other. I'm talking about her eyes on her face, =P .

I kind of wish her top had been black instead of white, but she's lovely otherwise. I like that she has plenty of attitude in this figure. If I can afford to, I'll probably get her.

it looked better grey XD
University Student
Well... it doesn't look like Yoko. But still a nice figure
University Student
I think the pre-production shots looked better, there's just something about the color that's off.

I think they still need to apply the shading to this figure, which is why the paintwork looks a bit off. I think it looks great, and I'd like to pick one up. It may not be show-accurate, but it has a good style to it.

I was hoping for the jacket to be darker, but otherwise, still a must buy.
mmm it really looks different from the pictures we saw before
maybe because of the paint
especially the hair which is really red
but the result is amazing
look at the belt
seems like real leather !!!

This figure looks awesome... must.. get...

Lotta people seem to be thinking of a different version of Yoko. The color for this figure is spot on.

hmmm, kinda liked the unpainted version more, this one looks off, can't quite put my finger around it but it's not the best yoko I've seen.

The only problem I have with this figure would be the face but it's only a minor problem cuz everything is HOT ^-^

I hope her hair doesn't become too glossy ^.^;;;

A great figure but didn't quite turn out as I expected and not really the Yoko vibe I wa shoping for...
Will have to see more photos and maybe even production sample to decide on getting it or not.

So far it seems good i actually like the face, despite what other are saying about it.

Nah...something about this figure is not just right.
I'm somewhat disappointed. This is the only Yoko I really wanted, and while it isn't bad at all, it doesn't seem to capture the Yoko I was hoping for. Something about the face and hair.

I think this is definitely the best Yoko figure out there right now. Since you had the pictures of the unpainted version, I had made up my mind to pick this one up, its sooo soo nice!

Best Yoko I've seen so far, it's going to my shortlist.
Alter usually does a great job and this is no exception!
Great figure!

ALthough not quite Yoko enough, it is still very detailed and you can see the quality in it. Me likes Figmas and moving figures, so will pass this one by. But I still think it's a good get for those who like figures. ^^
Sushi chef, and will be student.
Im a figma and moving figure fan as well.
I would luv to see a fully articulated adult Yoko space-suit ver.

I would just like to see a Yoko figma period. Or better yet, the entire cast. I only have the Revoltech one of Lagann.

Ough! 0_o... I'm dissapointed with the final result of this Alter Yoko, without the painting she looked to me a lot better but now... it's a different story.
Just an average figure for me, sadly, I thought that this was going to be my first Yoko figure but that won't happen (at least for now...).
Greetings.

hmmm i think the paint kills the appeal. i would've preferred her top to be black like normal but who knows, will wait for full review

Hmm.... not as nice as I thought when I first saw it unpainted. It looks alright, but it seems to be missing that 'spark' that makes it special.

Love Yoko but don't really like this one.

This one feels off a bit...

She's badass bounty hunter adult Yoko, so I think everything looks perfect (yes even the face), but I think the colors are not doing it for me. I don't have any other explanation, Yomako sensei looks so good colored, why does this one look so off?

A different facial expression from her norm. Popular or not, it's nice to see some variations.
