Yoko Littner
This gorgeous 1/6 scale Kotobukiya figure of Yoko Littner is due out sometime this month and will retail for 9,450 yen. She some how landed in my lap while having a meeting last Friday ^^;
Has to be one of the nicest Kotobukiya figures so far. The quality is astoundingly good.
This particular version of Yoko is from the movie Gurren Lagann Gurren-hen which I have yet to see. Is it just a compilation of the TV series? - I still haven't finished watching it ^^;
Front view. Hair is a little bit shiny and would have preferred matte but still looks good.
Thighs in Japanese is "Futomomo" [太もも]
In English we use the word "Back" to refer to our back but n Japanese they distringuish between lower back "Koshi" [腰] and upper back "Senaka" [背中].
Saying "Senaka ga itai" (my upper back hurts)is a common mistake a Japanese learner will make when explaining to a doctor about their lower back pain as the first thing we are taught is Back = Senaka.
Mmmmm. Yoko's Yokopai.
Some of these in the Wallpaper Pool.
Nicely painted all round.
Lovely eyes.
Yoko can be posed without her rifle too.
And her scarf thingy can also be removed - I prefer without.
Forgot the name of that brown mole thingy but it cant be removed.
Schweet!
"Nakanaka kawaii" to say "quite/rather cute."
Boots look great too.
Another Yoko-pai shot without her rifle.
Yoko comes with 3 skull hair pieces - this is the default.
A wink version.
And a crazy version.
Detailing on the rifle is superb too.
The lever slides back n forth.
Manual recharge winder and battery pack.
Eye scope.
Sub machine gun mode.
The Kotobukiya Yoko comes with two facial expressions. This is the default.
Looks sweet but me prefer the winking version.
Love this angle.
Sweet nose.
Whole head is removable to enable you to attach the scarf. Forgot to play head swapping with other figures.
Lovely curves.
And love that star on the mole thingy too.
The bits n pieces that come with the Yoko figure. The other boot is supposed to be rested near the base.
And this is the figure base. The copyright lettering at the bottom of the base is white and shows through which is a shame. Probably can be scraped off with a knife.
Now part of the office interior.
Comparison with Gift Yoko.
Which do you prefer?
Yoko can sit on most edges but you need a bit of blu-tac or something to prop up her right but-tock.
This Yoko figure is available at Amazon Japan for 8,041 yen.

Ahhhhh sweet! Yay for Koto!! I am prefering the default face. And lol at the crazy skull hair pin.
I'm not sure which I prefer out of the Gift or Koto... instinct says go with Koto since they're my favourite company... but both Yoko's have their good points. Gifts looks more pudgy faced and cuter, tho the thigh high socks are an odd colour. The Koto Yoko has 2 faces... + many accesories bits n bobs, and I love her seat! Mucho funky!!

Oh! Forgot to say, little brown critter, thats Boota, ne? I still haven't seen the anime... yet I preordered the UK Limited ed DVD 1st part lol.
And I'd always go for scarf on, but this is one of the few times it dont look strange. On the Fraulein Yoko(movie ver) it looks very weird lol. Long neck is long.

Went sunday lol. Did that when the Haruhi boxset was released too, but had preordered that weeks before the expo lol.
Lovely pics ^o^
Don't have the money for her right now, maybe after my Classifieds are all sold~~
A lovely figure, verry hard to compare to the Gift one though...

Excellent pictures Danny. I'm starting to take a liking to the Kotobukiya version now. And yes Gurren Lagann Gurren-hen his a compilation of the series, but It has some new footage aswell.

Gaaah. My poor hypothetical wallet. Want, but can't. I'm liking the Kotobukiya one more than the Gift, although the Gift is a bit cuter imo.
???Confused???
Hm the Kotobukiya Yoko is nice, but the face seems more rounded...so I guess I'd prefer the Gift Yoko a bit more...

I think i'll get the kotobukiya version this time. I prefer the bigger one, but the details on this small one is really superb.
Student
I would say the Gift Yoko, mainly for the facial expression. Though the accessories on the Kotobukiya Yoko are pretty nice.
Student
Does kotobukiya yoko neck seems weird or is it just me?

http://realtaku.wordpress.com/
Pretty sweet I say. Now just need some saving to get one.
It's bigger then I expected it to be. As for Kotobukiya versus Gift, I'll have reserve judgment until mine arrives. Each of them have their good points which is why I couldn't settle for one and ended up getting both.
Gift version or Kotobukiya version......a serious though decision. I think I would do the same as you and just get both! ^^;

Same here. Even though Gift has better quality and sculpt I prefer the scale and pose of the Kotobukiya version. I ended up getting both as well. ^^
Student
Hmm both are pretty sweet but the customization and attention to detail on this one pretty interesting... Didn't know you could do so much stuff with the rifle :P

http://rockleelotus.wordpress.com/
they are both lovely, but i prefer the Gift version. this one sure does come with a lot of extras.
Student
I love Yoko. Between the 2 the Gift version wins but not by much. I really like the torn thigh highs on the Kotobukiya version.
Don't like how Kotobukiya Yoko has shiny hair, but I do believe the rest of her is superior to Gift Yoko. But the way the hair of Gift Yoko is sculpted is just wow, and I am in love with her arms.
Think I am going to have to sit on the fence with this one.

http://brotherwormgear.blogspot.com/
I feel exactly the same way! You mentioned the hair, and when I first saw the announcement for the Kotobukiya Yoko, it's the first thing that occurred to me. In fact, it seems to me that almost ALL of the Yoko figures have had really shiny hair. The hair on Gift Yoko seems much more natural. I wonder why it is that the artists want to add so much sheen to her hair. Gainax artists don't really draw shiny hair on their character designs.... Hmmm....

I love the spiral power version of the skull hair pin! and the mole with the star butt is Boota, and his butt gets cut off as food/spiral energy xD
I like the Kotobukiya one more then the Gift. Saving for the Littner hunter one though.
SOS Brigade Leader
Can't choose between the two kawai figures but of them look quite smexy .
Its been quite a long time since I called oppai "eyes" . It seems Danny still calls it "eyes" .
I like the way Kotobukiya Yoko blushes but I hate it when her gloves and thighs rip a part .

Maybe I'll make my own Boota to put in between her oppai while I'm at it.
projectionist, artist
image ID#26972 is my favorite shot, she just looks great sitting on your desk there.
Deciding between Gift and Koto is difficult, they both look really great. I like the detailing on both but the Koto Yoko with the wink is "Nakanaka kawaii" *-_^
Usually I don't care for winking figures because it's hard to get right with out it looking off.
But Gift's Yoko is beautiful to, but I think Koto would win for me.
I haven't seen any Gurren Lagaan yet, but I will in the future!

Very nice collection of pics. I happen to like her without the scarf as well. Really nice details on the bikini top straps as well. I am going with the Kotobukiya version as it has some great accessories.

Damn Yoko figures will be the ruin of me. Too many to get ;_;
I personally like the Gift Yoko more because the Koto face is a bit too childish for her character imo. While the Gift one isn't showing Yoko in total badass mode either, I feel it's more like her from the TV series (haven't seen the movie yet either, so... ^^;).
Will definitely have to get both though. The amount of details and flexibility on the Koto figure is just amazing.
And Yoko isn't Yoko without her scarf. Blasphemy! >_>
Yoko, you so cute and sexy!
I think I prefer the Gift Yoko but both look really gorgeous.
And the little brown critter's name is Boota. :)

I prefer the Gift Yoko better, she's much cuter.

I prefer the Gift version, as it reminds me of Kotobukiya's Tamaki.
Student
I prefer Gift because I think the face looks better and I don't like the stockings with holes. But there are parts to the kotobukiya one that I like so much. Like the rifle, the stand she is sitting on and all the changeable pieces. I wish they could combine the two.

The body is fine and the ripped stockings and gloves are a nice touch, but the face is weird. That alone makes the Gift version superior.

I like the Gift version better...
I don't think Kotobukiya's Yoko is correctly made... she seems too skinny, while in the anime, she's a bit chubby just like the Gift's version.
Even if it's adult version, I don't think Yoko is that skinny... especially the neck looks weird... The body is sort of like MF Real Image ver. , it's like real life human body...

Overall quality looks good and I like how her scarf can be removed but she is a bit too cutesy looking for me.

I think I prefer Gift's Yoko too--I just love how candid the pose is, like you're just having a conversation with her while she decides her ponytail's falling down and needs to be fixed. As much as I love figures, not enough of them have that kind of spontaneity to the pose.
Student
I prefer Gift.

Kotobukiya did a great job on that Yoko figure...
One thing I dislike is all the tears and rips in her stocking and gloves. I think rips would be more appropriate on a action posed figure of Yoko with an angrier facial expression.
The smiling/winking just doesn't fit well with the "after-battle-like" wear and tear.

Good point on the rips there - it really is a bit of a mismatch.
Myself, I have no real preference. Not much of a Yoko fan to begin with, since I liked Nia better. ^^; Sort of getting tired of all the attention she's getting, actually.

the detailing on the socks in the gift version was better. like real cloth texture.

I'm liking the zip on the boot and the detail on her rifle.
Everything else is superb as usual when it comes to Yoko figures.

Hmm.. I don't really know which is better since I never watched it, and I do judgement based on quality and accuracy.. The quality is quite the same~

The Kotobukiya Yoko looks lovely, although I'm not certain about the winking-eye face...I would prefer the Gift Yoko purely for the facial difference.
http://www.vn-net.org/
Definitely looks nice. I think the winking eye gives it some degree of charm that you don't quite get from the Gift figure.
Pseudo-Graphic Designer, 触手 wrangler, H-Man
http://lightningsabre.blogspot.com/
I kinda like the rips in her thigh highs. That made it unique and also gives it a slightly realistic feel of it, kinda like the wrinkles on the Gift version.
Hmmm ok I know "thigh" = "太もも" but what's thigh high stocking in Japanese?
I like all the stuff included with the Koto version, but I think I still prefer the Gift one.

o0o0o that's a really charming wink. I like that :o. and the winking skull clip! OMG that is cute! xD.but I want to know the scenario of why her stockings are torn and stuff though and why she's in that expression otherwise I'm a bit dumbfounded. I like the Kotobukiya version ^^

Really captures Yoko's youthful, lively and teasing expression well, I like it. Not sure I'll get this one though, I have Alter's version on pre-order and I think I best stick to that one.
Student
Gift Yoko... the pose is much more together and the face is more proportional. Koto Yoko's eyes look a little too close together, though the details look a lot better compared to their past products *cough*Rei*cough*
I don't like the ripped stockings, but apart from that I prefer her to the Gift version.

Your review has compelled me to start wanting the Kotobukiya version... however, I have other figures I want, so that one probably won't fall into my hands any time soon. I wasn't too hyped about this one at first, but the details are amazing. I wish the rips in her stockings didn't look so much like... oval cut-outs, though.
I just ordered the Gift figure, so she'll be on her way here. I think so far, though, I lift Gift's better. I like her pose much better.
Lovely Yoko... Both look's great (Kotobukiya and Gift Yoko), but I like the Gift version better. ^^; Lovely Yoko... ^^

I might have to end up buying one of these. The Gift one is a little cuter, though. I find Yoko a really appealing character, I think it's a great design. I look forward to many more figures!

I like (and have) the gift Yoko, she is so cute! The other one though has a massive amount of detail on the gun and parts which is pretty impressive, but she just doesn't sit as well imo. I can't decide whether I prefer the 'Real' Yoko though over these two, its a completely different take on her.

Mmmmhm, those curves are very nice. Thish-highs, every time, get me every time. Overall the figure is well sculpted but as personal preference I don't really like shiney parts, more of a matte finish kind of guy.
To compare Kotobukiya and Gift Yoko, i'm going to have to say Gift, most likely influenced by the face. I prefer the body of Kotobukiya, with all the details but Yoko's face on it looks a bit off, but can't quite put my finger on what.

A hawt figure but I like the pose of the Gift version more.
What's really great about the Kotobukiya Yoko are the bits n pieces that come with her. Love the detailed gun. I can haz both?

Gift Yoko barely wins it for me.
Just something about Koto Yoko's face that seems a bit...off...although I gotta say, her back is SEXY.

It's a hard choice, guess it will (well for me) come down the to availability and price in my area. XD

Personally, I prefer the Koto one, which is surprising. I'm not usually a big fan of Koto figures. I had the Gift one ordered, but I ended up canceling it. Too... cute. Not accurate enough to the original character for me, I guess.

I prefer the Gift Yoko
There is something in the face of the Kotobukiya Yoko that gives the me creeps.
I don't like the face at all.

Well I like both of them, but If I had to chose, it would have to be the Gift ver. wheres she's fixing her hair.

Hey Danny, I am trying to buy a few of these - http://www.figure.fm/product/en/1/Test-Product.html - but it's not working at the moment. Is this just a placeholder or is this product really for sale?

This one beats the gift one for me. I love the boota and gun.
