Nendoroid Yoko

Yesterday Nendoroid Yoko from Gurren Lagann arrived at my door. I had pre-ordered her from Hobby Search months ago and almost had to cancel her. Luckily that didn't end up happening and now she graces my shelf. She is still available at the time of posting this, if you decide you want her you can order her here. Her cost is 3,167 Yen.





Yoko comes with 5 arms, 4 legs, and 3 faces, and her scarf. She also comes with her extra long gun and some orange tinted shades. The gun can be taken apart as shown with included instructions, and it also comes with an extra strap. The shades attach to the underside of her front hairpiece. Her ponytail is also removable and articulated. I'm quite impressed with the level of detail in this Nendoroid, though it doesn't come as much of a surprise anymore. Yoko's stand is clamp style so it grips around her hips/waist. I especially like her angry face. She looks like she's about to kick the living crap out of my other nendos. She's a little top heavy like most nendos but that's easily fixed with the grip from her stand. I can't see a need for much improvement, aside from maybe her bangs being a little more flexible. They get in the way a bit, otherwise no complaints here. If you're a fan of Nendoroids or Gurren Lagann I can suggest picking this figure up.






If you haven't seen Gurren Lagann, I can highly recommend it. It has plenty of action, comedy and some drama, hell even the music is good. Of course primarily it's a mecha anime, but I can suggest this anime even to those who don't find mecha appealing. It's definitely a one of a kind epic anime. O.k, so you can tell I like it. I wanted to include the first opening but there seems to be a ton of fan made versions and I can't seem to find the original, so you'll have to look it up yourself, sorry.
