Alter Yoko
Taken at today's Chara Hobby.
This will probably be the best figure of Yoko when its finally released by Alter.
No release date yet.
Detail is awesome.

Heh, I take it you use polymer clay? XD From what little I've been able to find out about what the big figure companies use, they apparently favor a 2-part epoxy known in the states primarily as "green stuff"; it dries by chemical reaction rather than needing to be cured with heat. Then, according to Danny's GSC tour, they make several PVC casts of the original positive, mostly because the PVC is more durable, and so they can send copies to their factories. This is probably either the primer-covered "green stuff" original, or one of the PVC casts.

Looks very nice... someone should make a full comparison of all Yoko versions.
Though I'm not shure anyone has ALL Yoko figures out there...

I was planning on only owning the Enterbrain Yoko...but I may just have to get this one as well. That serious expression i s awesome and at least she is in a different outfit from the Enterbrain one.

All I have to say is bravo Alter. This is the quality that I've come to expect from them. I'll definitely be adding this to my collection.

Yoko's due for a Revoltech Fraulein release, but not plans for a figma yet (that I know of.)
Admin
I'll wait for the colored prototype. Sometimes, it looks really nice until it's painted.

Now this is the Yoko I've been waiting for! I was holding out on buying from other companies, just hoping for a pvc from Alter, MaxFac or GSC. I love her facial expression, this is a definite must buy for me.

Wow. Even without the color, I can still feel the intensity of that figure. If she's just as good with the color, consider me signed up for an order!

I think it would be awesome to be able to purchase some of these figures in their 'natural state' as well as their painted version.

This is awesome ... looks like another masterpiece from Alter. Even though I have ordered Eye-Up's Yoko (and won't be cancelling it despite this), I will surely be buying this Yoko too.
Now my question to Alter ... where is Nia?! ^_^

Theres also the Yoko (sensei version) figure coming out in 2009 too. Belongs in the same group as this figure.

Interesting. A metallic rod for the barrel like how some model companys do for battle tanks' main guns.

http://applesforthoughts.blogspot.com/
Wow! Who do I throw my money at?
Student & Otaku
Can't wait until the finished product is up for pre-ordering. This is on my WANT list like any other Alter figurine because:
1. Figurines and detail are high quality
2. Price isn't that bad for it's quality (comparing for a similar figurine say Kotobukiya? -.-'')
3. Poses are either: Excellent or Epic due to it's unique or difficulty of making the pose actually work (such as figurines that are at an angle but still on only one leg)

this figure will be amazing!
Student
This looks like it'll be expensive but worth the money.
