Gift Yoko

Didnt think I was going to keep this one when she arrived as her head initially looked a bit big. Took her out of the box to discover an extremely well made figure which I didn't expect considering Gift-sans initial figure release. Retail price is a bit pricey at 9,240 yen and she comes in an irregular 1/5 scale. More details at GSC.
This figure of Yoko may also appeal to camel fans.

The detail on the back/shoulder area is just as nice. Very well defined instead of just a flat surface.

Yup, got mine last week, and fell in love with her as soon as she was out of the box.

I've had it pre-ordered on HLJ for quite a while. Just wish they'd hurry up and process it...

I noticed the colouring right away. The detail of the shading has to be one of the nicest I've seen!

I'm keeping mine! I was very sure this would be the first scaled figure in her usual outfit that I'll have and probably the only one. Unfortunately I couldn't justify the purchase when I pre-ordered it months ago and had to cancel it. Now I have it... Thanks Danny!
???Confused???
Very nice figure indeed...don't really see how it's head is too big...

9240 Yen is BND$137.00+ really worth buying this if sold here...
Delicious Yoko figure. I regret canceling my pre-order of her. Tho, I'll probably just buy her sometime soon. All these Gift Yoko reviews I keep seeing around the net are tempting me much, orz.
This is on my wish list. Haven't been able to put my finger on it yet but there is something I really like about Yoko.

Yeah that was my problem too, that's why I didn't order her, her forehead looked HUGE in the proto. The production model looks a-ok though! ^^ ~$94USD is a little too much for me though, I don't like this sculpt - or camels - that much. Are you speaking of Gift Saber mayhaps?

The bigger they are, the moer expensive, I think i'll just stick with 1/8 and figmas.

When I saw her she really got my attention, by far one of the best looking Yokos up to date. ^^

Well, if Danny approves of this figure it's time to stop debating whether or not I should purchase it.
Just ordered her on Hobbysearch along with Megahouse's Sakura Nanako (on sale) and AlphaxOmega's Viletta (just restocked).
Mine should come in today or tomorrow, I ca't wait! I am planing for her to be my first serious photoshoot/

A lovely figure indeed. But a bit expensive IMHO. Even so I think it is worthy since it does seem to be one of the best Yoko figures I've seen lately.

When I first saw Yoko in TTGL, my immediate reaction was: "What the hell is a semi-nude girl doing an a shounen anime??? But, who cares! The more female nudity the better! ^^", but then I got to the second part of the anime. This is a definately to-buy figure. Now, I just have to figure how to buy it, since nobody ships any internet- purchased goods to where I'm from.

i would love to purchase this fgigure but becoz its from gift im having doubt anyone can give me a site that has this figure as a review??? thanks heaps!
Yes, I work.
http://ranivus.myanimelist.net
i too pre ordered it when it was announced but then removed after seeing G-DOMEs previous works. Plus i had Movics versoin of yoko and that one is just as good imo. having 2 1/5 scale yokos might be much for me. i already have a 1/5 and 1/8 version of Yoko in her normal outfit, Yomako, Space Yoko, and hopefully the Bounty hunter version when it comes out.
...no im not a yoko fan :p
...and you dont understand the camel feet reference then youre either too young or too naiieve to understand :)
I got mine today. A word of warning:
BE CAREFUL WITH THE CHOPSTICK!
I didn't notice its baggy was taped to the box's inner plastic shell. I went to take it out and it snapped in half like a frail twig. :( I froze and stared in horror for like ten solid seconds.
The junction is so tiny I don't think it will hold together even with crazy glue, but I suppose I'll give it a try.
p.s. Aside from the flimsy chopstick, and some annoying black-ish marks on her hair, this is one fine figure. I didn't like it so much when it was in the box, but as soon as I took it out, I was much happier.
