Nendoroid Yoko
I just released the info for Nendoroid Yoko at the English Goodsmile site where you can also see more pics.
Shes due out in Feb and will retail for 3,500 yen. Pre-order info should be going up at your fave online store soon.
The "eeeetooooo" expression is sooo cute! And I beleive this Nendoroid has the biggest eyes of em all.
The extra images should load a bit faster - the GSC team was uploading images at 99% compression - each image was over 700kb. Now compressed at about 85% down to about 100 kb.
I also pushed out product search to the site too. Other improvements and fixes based on your feedback soon.
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.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

She's quite the cute one.
I'm liking the sniper rifle, especially since it's longer than the overall figure.

This nendoroid looks bloody gorgeous, I'm so getting it @_@
It's a shame there aren't more male nendoroids though, I would definitely buy those.

Second that, it's frustrating how there's still no full-sized Kyon Nendoroid yet side characters like Ryoko have been Nendoroidised for instance. Wonder if they'll make Simon/Kamina/Viral nendoroids?
Student, part-time slave
http://yakuri.wordpress.com/
I sure as heck would buy Simon/Kamina/Viral/Kittan nendoroids (and I don't mean petite ones, but those are nice too)! I don't think it's such a farfetched idea; Death Note got two, and they are insanely cute as well.

Student & Otaku
Not to break anybody's bubble here, but maybe it's because they're not as popular as the females?
Sure we have our epic male lead every now and then (Lelouch, Light, etc.), but it's probably b/c they don't have as much as a ton of requests compared to the female ones. Plus you'd have to account in the expenses for supplies, orders, time and all that. I'd don't think the company would do that unless there's a HUGE request for them.
IMHO btw. This is how I just think on this >< Sorry...
I too want some more awesome male nendroids and male figurines. It'd compliment some of my female ones from the same series -.-''
Student, part-time slave
http://yakuri.wordpress.com/
Naw, that's the harsh reality, actually. more than 90% of the figurine market revolves around female characters, and that's because male otaku are more willing to shell out the money for them (I think). I wish girls got more hyped about this hobby; the growing interest would surely encourage manufacturers.
Also, female anatomy is easier to pose in lots of ways. If you were to pose a male figurine like say, Mai Shiranui from KOF it would get bashed for being too gay (damn double standards...)
I still hope they just don't stick to female nendoroids; as I said above Death Note got two and they are very cute, I can't imagine any fujoshi NOT buying other nends.

This one is at the top of my "To Buy List". I just received my full-sized Haruhi, Mikuru, and Yuki Nendo today, so now I can concentrate on upcoming figures like this one.

Just like most otakus ne? I'm always poor a day after my paycheque arrives -.-''
http://tenori-taiga.blogspot.com/
I don't own any nendroids and I have not been too happy with my figmas so far but I think I may buy this one or the katsuragi yako or the al azif. the faces are interchangeable, right? the face when Yako is holding the cell phone is just too much, it would be fun to swap it around on the others.
BioResearch Assistant
I have the same question. I'm sure the faces are swappable with other nendoroids though would like conformation on that.
The only nendoroid I have in possession is a Comptiq Kagami. Still waiting for my Sumomo to arrive and though it's a long shot, still hoping for a Comptiq Konata to fall from the sky and onto my shelf. I'm a sucker for exclusives.

Not all faces are swappable but the heads usually are.
BioResearch Assistant
Thanks Danny. I was actually hoping all were swappable which would make the number of expressions limitless...unless GSC decides to retire the line then it wouldn't be limitless...then again you have to catch 'em all so it would sort of be limitless but not really...but then again...

the last time I've seen an expression which has "angry-yet-adorable" look was the Mikuru Nendoroid! and this is gonna be a fun figure to complement with it.
big eyes indeed... >.<

This nendoroid I will definitely get. Good thing she'll be released early next year, the peso strengthens against the dollar around that time(quick tip to my kababayans). (^_~)*

Very cute, but the outfit accessories and rifle look a little too cluttered. I'll reserve my final opinion till I see more photos from other angles.
The eyes definitely stand out, and look quite funny (in a good way) ^-^

Pre-ordered! As someone a little earlier mentioned, it's available for preorder over at HobbySearch.
Back then in my comment in the Nendoroid Saber Lion post, I already made the prediction that Yoko could be the next nendoroid after Saber Lion, I said I would past the Saber Lion for this lovely Yoko. Turns out to be truth. Wonderful. Already made 2 reservations for the Feb release. One for display and another one to keep inside the box.
Admin
Nendoroids are beginning to all look the same to me. Excluding the extra hands and extra heads, I think it's the same pose, figure shape and smiley expression. I look at Yoko and I'm already thinking it looks more or less just like my Nao.
Nendoroids are still cute though.

Danny (or anyone really), do you know if there are there going to be any puchi Nendoroids of Yoko?
I like the style of nendoroids but I think the puchi ones fit better... I'd rather buy more 'real' figures to take up desk/cabinet/any other space than large SD characters - puchi nendoroids (like Pinky St and Figurmates) can at least stand in front of Manga and DVD on shelves ^_^

The "eeeeeeetoooooooo" face is so lovely :) The best nendo so far

This is simply awesome. So what about making some Code Geass Nendroids? I'd think that'd be totally awesome!
I'd get the three main characters in a heartbeat (Lulu, C.C., Kallen. [Don't like Spinzaku all that much])
