What looks to be a new favourite figure rendition of Nagato Yuki emerges in the form of this Goth Loli Nagato, sporting a full gothic lolita costume, a complete lack of expression, and a demure sitting pose.
The figure, by Orchid Seed, is due in April 2009; preorders are already open, if you feel the need to get in early. The price point is around ¥7,000.
With the superb Gothic Lolita Haruhi, to say nothing of Lolita Nagato and Goth Punk Mikuru, it seems every taste is being catered for; will they not soon be running out of costumes, at least from official sources?
cut off at the knees
at the prime her life
such sadness
The face doesnt look right. Something about the proportions isnt right.
Will be saving my money for when Concert Nagato and Mikuru make their debut! 🙂
Same here, Nagato concert version shall be mine. Mikuru of that series is tempting but I already have 2 figurines of her.
I click comment, then immediately realize this isn’t the Griffon trio set, gah!
No reason for the weird pose in that case then, since it wasn’t based of that illustration…
I was just going to ask where to find the other illustration… An original then?
I quite like the pose, it shows off her interesting skirt nicely.
I’m pretty certain this is an original, obviously inspired by the same original illustration as the Griffon as can be seen in the extremely similar hat both figures wear. There’s no other goth-l♥♥i illustration besides the one Griffon is using as the source image for their figures I believe. Also, the Orchid Seed site does refer to her outfit as an “original goth-l♥♥i clothing” http://www.orchidseed.co.jp/contents/46nagato/
I think the figure is pretty, but the billowing skirt’s size does make Nagato look like a dead fish in the water since there’s no evidence of her legs at all. Perhaps a resting pose with her legs sticking out to the side…
Will finally have the complete trio, although I do think this will be the weakest of the three. Her pose is a bit boring because of her wide skirt, it would’ve been nice to have her legs sticking out.
They stuck very closely to the pose from the illustration, but Goth Mikuru’s pose was wildly changed, so I think it would’ve have been going too far to modify this one a bit.
