[...] there are a number of reviews out for her, I feel so left behind. LOL Of course there’s Tier’s review and Rico’s review. I also saw one at howdoyoufigure.net and a random Google search took me [...]

The kit sure does leave one at a loss for words, doesn’t it? XD

I think that with a bit more re-working, they could’ve made a nice-looking realistic Yoko. I really like MF’s mecha Miku’s face, but this one is way short of that. Something like that would’ve made this figure quite a bit better, I think.

I gotta admit though, I’ve got no complaints about everything below the neck, augmented or not XD

I never liked this figure. It’s her face and her body. She looks really awkward. Yoko is really hard to pull off as a realistic gal, and it’s pretty apparent that they failed with her face here. Her figure looks fake too…implants all the way!

She looks pretty awkward leaning forward too…

Eloquent description there. XD But I completely agree. MF made a good choice fixing up the face. The resin kit… XD;

It surely is that XD I like the shorts. More Japanese anime characters should wear short shorts instead of skirts, I think.

I like a woman with a solid jaw line. This is a very sexy figure.

That's exactly how I feel, sometimes she looks great and then sometimes I'm like "WTF man." I think she's partially based off of this resin kit, which has the same pose but a different face. While I think this figure would've turned out better if MF had changed her design a bit, I'm glad they didn't go with the original face, which looks to me like she ran a hundred-yard dash in a ninety-yard gym.

Love the sixth and seventh photos! She just looks so good there. ^^

But seriously, now Yoko DEFINITELY doesn’t look fourteen. Lmao. XD
I’m really on the fence about her. She looks really good from some angles, but then turn just a little bit to the side and…lady looks like a dude lol. ^^; Thankfully, all your shots made her look good. ^^ Good job! *thumbs up*
Still, it’s cool that Max Factory decided to try a new style with this figure. I wonder why they chose Yoko for it?

It might be my strong bias against effete dudes. You see this sort of long nose and elongated jawline with a lot of pretty boys in video games and anime and that’s really not my thing. That’s probably influencing the way I see Yoko.

I agree, her stockings are awesome XD I like the arm sleeve too, especially how it has sort of a latex look to it.
