Unity Yuno

Unity Yuno - you previously saw pics that I took of her at the Traders Show by Good Smile. She should be up for pre-order at your fave dealer.
I would not worry about leaning in the latest GSC or Max releases as the supporting leg is usually ABS.
Release info from Good Smile.

Original text from Jonathan Reinhardt below.

I first saw her on Danny's Wonfes report, Unity-yuno 1/8 figure from GoodSmile, we can pre-order her from Hobby Search for 6,477 yen.
Very nice sculpt and pose with cast-off option. But while looking her standing on her equally beautiful stand in that pose the first thought came to my mind was that unless she get another support stand she will definitely have a serious leaning problem in weeks after we display her out of her box.
So Danny, did you saw her just like in this picture while you photographed her a while ago (without another support stand) ?

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

    Wow. She does look like a potential leaner. Depends though, if the created her the right way; with quite a large metal rod running through her leg and into the torso, and also into the base, then she shouldn't lean.

    GSC huh? It depends, if Danny has mentioned anything about a support stand of some sort or some really durable material acting as the "pegs" then it should be ok. GSC figures are [usually] lasting.

    Unless she has a metal rod going thru her left leg, she looks like a leaner

    I've noticed Alter has a few figures coming up that have similar poses. Either the figure companies have discovered some way to avoid leaning problems or there will be a backlash from unhappy buyers.

    I did not place a preorder for Unity Yuno.

    Really cute indeed. I'm not sure about the leaning danger though: her pose is practically the same as Fauna's, and she still stands firmly on my desk after all these months

    Her pose is worse than Ryu Mei Feng IMO, but i still think she will survive..

    Nice way of cast-off though lol

    and what's the point of wearing a skirt when the middle part shows your pantsu clearly? :p

    Didn't preorder her though.. Some budget adjustment :(

    If there's no other support, a metal rod has to run through her leg up to the waist (or at least above knee level). Otherwise, she will almost definitely lean.

    But I'm not too sure on GSC ... you only have to look at ChuChu Astram who is supported by a small plastic peg. I was sure there was going to be a metal rod initially...oh well...

    But they are all great figures. So I will be preordering Unity Yuno and pray for the best. At the worst, I'll have to make a custom support for her to prevent leaning.

    besides leaning, the peg on the base joining her foot might break as well. just like what happened to my 1/8 fauna in white dress with a similar pose yesterday. ToT

    ABS legs huh? I didnt know. That means my Corti shouldn't lean either then! Since she's in such a precarious pose I did wonder lol.

    I'm glad to hear about the ABS leg idea- that's the sort of progress that needs to happen. Leaners look funny online, but are not so much when at home on a figure that has cost upwards of 6000 yen.

    Also, her bustline and face are vaguely reminiscent of Char Rhouseman, imo.

      Not sure about the face, but the cups of her dress are definitely like Char's.
