Space Yoko Figure by Wave
Hijacked from Dancing Queen who beat me to posting this - details below.
She looks nice from some angles but also a bit odd form other angles - or is it just moi?
Original text from Dancing Queen below.
Space Yoko to be released by Wave in October for 5,880 yen 1/8 scale . I've got her pre-ordered are you going to?

it's a 1/8 scale, i edited the post since i realized i didn't put that.
i'm glad they didn't do a 1/6 scale i think they are too big.

I'll wait for a decent company to do a Yoko release. For now I'm keeping an eye on Eyezone. I would prefer a figure of Yoko after her teacher outfit with the jacket and bike.

OMG OMG OMG!!! YES!!!! Finally, Yoko in her spacesuit ^_^ And not only is this costume awesome, but finally, its an awesome Yoko figure; because a lot of the Yoko figures out right now just don't quite capture her, they may come close, but something is never quite right. However, this one looks to be one of the best out there...i am definately going to get this!

I like WAVE, and 1/8th is a fine scale in my book, but I never did like Yoko's space outfit, so I'll pass.

Oh nice. I think I want it.
I like the outfit, kinda reminds me of Gatchaman's Princess Swan! Yummy.

I don't like this costume. I have one Yoko figure on the way and the Eye Up Kamina figure pre-ordered. This'll still be on my to get list though.

I LOVE YOKO!!

I usually jump at the chance to have any Yoko figure, but this one is a bit "plastic" for my tastes. I'm not real keen on the facial expression either.

Pretty good Yoko figure, although I don't really like the suit pretty much =/ It just doesn't suit her all imo.

I think this figure like really nice, but like others have said, I'm not a huge fan of this outfit. My favorite Yoko outfit is the one that's similar to her first outfit except her boots become thigh high and she wears a burgundy Dai Gurren Dan jacket.

Sorry I dont know much about this character. Whats the name of the anime? I love this figure but those stars on the eyes looks kind of funny thats the only turn off for me.

Looks nice to me (but i haven´t seen the other shots), i want more figures (i have only 4) but don´t have much money and here i can´t get good ones (no distribution of any kind, just groups of fans that re-sell, not to much demand so not to much offer); guess the net shops are my solution.

one of the few things I liked about GL was yoko's HOT body (~_~)

I rather like large scale figures, most of my garage kits I order from E2046 are 1/5 or 1/6 (don't get anything smaller than 1/8 unless I really want it)
I saw some poll somewhere about how many people have garage kits somewhere ...

I really want this, even though the face looks a bit weird, nothing like her face!

I still wonder whether she feels cold. That little clothing is good in the desert, but not so sure about space! oh well.

she is a bit odd - I've seen better 21 year old yokos.

I was also debating whether to get this one or not, but passed on it. I think Hobby Link Japan has this on sale last time I checked.

Her boobs look a little droopy, though i can't imagine that slightly oversized rubber bands offer much support.
