In a move sure to please fans of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, AmiAmi 0 (AmiAmi Zero) has revealed this appealing prototype model of a well-tanned Yoko, due for release in May 2009.
Details are scarce, as are available photos of this prototype, but the official name will be ヨーコ 水着でバカンスVer / Yoko Swimsuit Vacation Ver.
The source image for the figure, originally from the Yoko Artbook. There is also a companion Nia Artbook for those interested.
As the figure is scheduled for a May 2009 release, it will likely be some time before pre-orders become available.
AmiAmi did have an entry on their (Japanese only) website for this figure as of Dec. 10th JST; that page has since inexplicably gone down but the link is reproduced here in case it becomes operational again: AmiAmi.
Those simply looking for more tan-ero will find much to satisfy themselves on the various galleries available…

this fig is fukken genial.
yokos face in the figure doesnt really look like her
I have that poster. Not sure if I'd want the figure; as others have mentioned, the face is a little off.
The face on this figurine looks more accurate to me, diffrent pose, same clothes and tan: http://www.hlj.com/product/WAVDT-45
for some reason it does not look like her. I think the tanned figure that Wave is coming of her is better. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10077785
Her mouth is lighter than her skin tone...
And she's orange.
*vainly clicking "well-tanned"* Wh--why isn't there a gallery for that?! :(
Seconded! Start searching Arte!
You both fail at using the search page:

Still I'll put those links into the article for you...
Thanks Artefact, I guess I neglected putting in enough linkage. ^^;
The figure is missing the erect nipples from the illustration.
any word on who sculpted the figure?
The sculptor is 新居興介 / Kyosuke Arai.
The only work of his I've been able to find is this Persona 3 figure: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10056989
Apologies for not including it in the post, but the problem with the AmiAmi site made it impossible for me to find it then.
