Yoko, of Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan, is certainly one of the more frequently sculpted anime characters of late, so it is a great relief to see a rendition of her which breaks away from the usual mould and offers a unique interpretation; in this case, one which intriguingly opts for a much more realistic look than is the norm.
Figure and garage kit merchants E2046 have been kind enough to share some nice photos on hearing of my interest, so let us examine her in more detail:





One element of the realism which really stands out is the care which has gone into sculpting the body.
Obviously, the first things which spring to notice are the various fleshy folds of skin, and especially the realistically styled breasts – rather than the usual physics defying balloon chest, here you get a sense of just how tight that bikini is, almost awkwardly so…
Another similarly nice touch is on the knees and knee socks. Personally, the face is a little too much in the realm of gravure for my tastes (especially with the pout), but I think this is just a matter of taste.



The figure itself is definitely in the high end, in terms of both quality and price; at 1/6 scale and 28.5cm in height, and with the quality so well evident, the $125 price is certainly understandable. At least no painting is required – that would be asking a bit much.
Yoko goes on sale December 1st, with preorders now open.
I wonder who was the designer of the figure?
really looks like Shunya Yamashita's work.

No me gusta mucho la cara, en cuanto a el cuerpo… yo diría que esta versión es la “operada” ya que parece que le quitaron dos costillas para hacerla ver mas cintura de avispa xD .
Se ve sexy la pose e incluso se puede imaginar lo incomodo que debe ser llevar esa clase de ropa xD , casi parece un auto-bondage xD
I... don't like it D:
AHHH! TOO REAL!
DO NOT WANT.
Any more real and she couldn't be 14 anymore.
Nice, and realistic+sexy are generally oxymoronic for me
This is bullshit! Bullshit! You're telling me that anime with supposedly "Asian" characters truly look fucking Asian realistically? Bullshit. You want them to be believable Asians, down-size them tits, flatten those hips, shorten those shins, default the FUCKING colors, and slight those damn eyes. Stop trying to kid yourself; "Asian is not limited to hair color, tit-size, etc," yes Hell it is! Oh, pardon me on those occasional nigh, red-hared Koreans. Draw your shit the way you label shit. Sure fucking now she looks Asian! Goddamn!
I love anime and indeed this figure is well made, but you're trying to convince me that a fucking Asian 14-year-old is supposed to have a body like that? In the nearest that shit only comes in the form of consumed lard! Not Yoko, not Yoko.
THIS is attention to detail and results of a long study on human anatomy. EXCELLENT. Now, if we could only get a Motoko Kusanagi... or even a Saber and Rider... That'd be awesome.
My god... the eyebrows, a darker shade would be nice.
Hehe, yes... realistic is the word! ;O)
I can't find the words to express for this figure. The details are extraordinary well made.
DO WANT!
Spectacular °_°
yeah, I am already waiting for delivery ^^
This is the best figure I've seen in atleast a year! And the sexiest Yoko rendition out of both 2d and 3d in my opinion.
My golly wow.
Dunno, something about her right abdomen throws me off haha.
Awesome!
Dunno if that's how I imagined a real Yoko, but still, the detailed painting and sculpturing are really something else
