It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]
So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts. Now… [more]

Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing. The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]

I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]
Of course #14 in my quest to own all the Yoko figures I can possibly get my hands on. The Lovely Movic Space Yoko, typical Movic quality, strange body proportions, paint splotches, weird seam lines. Really the only redeeming feature on this figure isn’t even the figure herself but the Bike she’s on.
Her face is a bit weird but tolerable, even her hand on the bike is awkwardly placed.
Love the face on the bike, great details there. Even the Vehicles in GL are GAR!
The Stickers are a bit confusing and there aren’t any instructions on placement, i got the sticker placement from the original image the figure is based on.
At least the figure is true to the image, except on how she is facing the wrong way.
Love this bike, now if only any other figure fit well on it…
Her butt’s shape is also kinda weird, but then how often do figure companies get the female anatomy correct?
I very much dislike her boobs shape here but then as a friend pointed out it’s how they are in the original design so who am i to complain
Star boobs?
The Cape is removable, but she looks better with the cape.
Love the Star Tattoo on her arms.
The boots are pretty badass as well.
Can’t express in words how much i love this bike!
This is for sure another figure i would never had bothered getting if it were another character. The price was outrageous and for such a mediocre figure it’s highway robbery to charge to much. Plus she’s not a 1/5 at all, more like a mix between 1/8 and 1/7 if you honestly ask me. however with all my complaints i still love her, with my all complaints i still love this figure since it’s Yoko. I have to admit I’m fully 100% biased with these types of figures, but i can honestly say that if you are a yokofancitc like i am then go ahead and get her, the bike alone is worth it. If you are just a casual fan there are much better Yoko figures out there. Such as the Lovely Gift Yoko and the Stunning Alter Yomako Sensei.

I was thinking about getting this figure, but since I’m not a Yoko fan as much as you are, I don’t think I will. None the less, it’s a good concept. If only the figure was made better.
One thing I do like about Yoko figures is that they usually construct her boobs like real boobs are.
Amburgers last blog post..Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure iPod commercials
that is true, her boobs would do that if she stood in that position, yet they still look very awkward
woooh~! Despite the anatomically incorrectness, she’s incredibly sexy. セクシーですね！
oh quite true, but then it’s Yoko, it’s impossible for her to be unsexy
Weird question but, since you mentioned cosplay and this is another Yoko figure post, I was wondering if you’ve cosplayed as Yoko yet?
no i haven’t and i honestly doubt i will, i have to admit i’m a bit critical of cosplayers and i know how critical others can get and people lately have been most critical of Yoko cosplayers and i even don’t think i’d do her justice… now Nia i might try and do at a future date but that’s up in the air for now 😉
Wow, that is expensive. Although Yoko does look a bit plain, the bike is indeed cool ^^ Good job on the decals.
If I were to get a Yoko figure, I think it would be the Gift Yoko. I’m sad I missed it at the last HLJ sale 🙁
anonymous_objects last blog post..FREEing 1/8 Nagi PVC
out of the yoko’s that have been released so far Gift’s yoko is the best so far
Huh? You had to apply the stickers manually? O.o
But yeah, fairly subpar figure, but that bike is worth dying for!
Snarks last blog post..Enough with this moe shit!
yep, with no instructions either
Ok this might sound really strange but does else think that this figure looks anorexic the way its collar bone and ribs stick out it looks really bad
Mememos last blog post..Toyslogic Sale figures
the sculpting on her body really is sub par but then it is a Movic figure
Nice review there again 🙂
Do you have plans on getting the Yoko real image version?
I’m not a fan of it, she looks like a 40 year old woman and not a 14 year old girl.
Good luck with your army ^0^
i do, the only thing i don’t like about that figure are the eyes, and she comes with the sunglasses that covers that so problem solved!
Nice shooting ! This Yoko’version is original ^^
Leonias last blog post..Nanoha Takamachi Swimsuit – Gift/Good Smile (James)
thanks, i was considering an outdoor shoot but couldn’t think of a proper setting anywhere around here
I really love the original design, however I’ve always had one major question about it. Why does a hover-scooter need suspension? It’s always bugged me for some reason, lol.
lol never thought of that, maybe when they invent hover scooters we’ll find out then if they need it or now
I agree, her yokoppai look strange, but it IS like the original image. Guess it just doesn’t translate well in figure form. I like the scooter though! ^^
Kanons last blog post..Potential Mascot Progress!
the bike is the best part, which is kinda sad considering the price they could have made her look better
The original picture, her face seems to be a bit more on the mischievous side with her expression, and I don’t think they captured that at all in the sculpt. Boooo..
it’s movic, what did you expect?
you’re definitely the queen of yoko figures. and here i am worrying about whether or not i should buy a 3rd yoko ^^;;
neat concept for a figure, though given that price it’s too bad they didn’t execute it better. seems like they used the bike as an excuse to jack up the price.
meronpans last blog post..One Year and 100k! (almost ^^;)
yeah they most likely did use the bike to jack it up higher, in all honesty if they sold the bike by itself i would have bought that
Oh man I hate Yoko’s space outfit, I can’t imagine any figure company will be able to make a figure of her in that outfit that I’ll like. Still love Yoko though and will fully support her in all her other outfits 🙂
lovelyduckies last blog post..I’ve MOVED!
whoops, worng web site in my comment
lovelyduckies last blog post..I’ve MOVED!
it’s not my favorite yoko outfit either but it’s still Yoko <3
Great review! You have a good looking site here.
Regarding the figure, comparing the drawing with the figure, I find that the stickers are some what in faulty design in sizes and some details. They could do better research QC of how the stickers was suppose to be when stick on. I wonder why they don’t pre-stick in the package and allow customers to paste it themselves without instruction…
Btw I’m going to link you on my blog link. 😀
LEons last blog post..Civic minded shoppers?
i just wish the decals were painted on so we avoid breaking stickers and such
so any tips on figure photography?
i’ll maybe do a tutorial one day but for now i can recommenced
http://www.happysoda.com/archives/88
http://www.mukyaa.com/figurinereview/28/darker-than-black-background
thanks, I’m going to be trying my hand at a few soon since I’ll be somewhere people won’t laugh at me (i.e. not at home)
while both tutorials are awesome keep in mind it’s still lots of trial and error so if you don’t get it right the first time just keep trying
Hmm…if memory serves me right, this Yoko was done by Polygonia…who was also responsible for Movic’s other Yoko PVC that you reviews already. Polygonia’s Yokos have weird bodies…considering how awesome the original artwork was (I’ve got the Yoko Portraits Book), it’s a shame to see the figure end up so mediocre.
G.K.Sil Kaminas last blog post..Weekly Ramblings: Room Edition
i have the art books as well and it’s sad that they weren’t able to translate such an awesome image into PVC form well enough
Never been a fan of her space outfit and Im not that Yoko crazy so ill pass her.SO you had to apply those stickers yourself?I thought it would come ready to display
it would make more sense to have the stickers on the bike already but they were lazy i guess
Just wanted to give you a heads up, Dollfie Yoko’s going up for sale according to this blog.
Still reeling from my Last dollfie purchase, but seeing how much you’re into Yoko, you might want to give it a shot, 😀
ohhh, now i just need money to get her :'(
I’m sort of a Yoko Fantatic as well I suppose. But the only figures of her that attract me are those that are well proportioned and has a decent likeness. I’m still waiting on Gift Yoko 🙁
Gift Yoko is so far the best Yoko figure i’ve seen, she’s utterly stunning
Yeah, I finally got her. Amazing figure, the best one yet. Bounty Hunter Yoko might be a strong contender though.
Hello! The poster which the figure is based on was drawn by Sadamoto. The face on the Gunbee’s been changed to resamble King Kittans face. He’s Yoko/Kittan fan apparently lol(do not approves). Anyway ther’s a really sweet resign kit with the very same bike (even better I might say) with the original face but w/out the stickers. And of course a beautifully sculped adult Yoko with sleek and sexy body and spunky enticing look on her face (love her lips). She’s wearing her second outfit. OMG I’m sorry for all the gushing, I just love it so much I might get it myself and build it even though I have no major experience in resighn kits:) Maybe you should get it and build it >< or order someone to do it^^ and then post some beautifull pictures of it! 😀
PS. GREAT COLLECTION!
i would love them to make a pvc of the figure of Time Skip Yoko with the jacket on the bike! that would be awesome
