[ERO] Figure News: Konami’s Gurren Lagann Yoko PVC is cast off (?!)

September 24th 2007 at 9:59 AM, by Shingo

When we first reported the production of this figure back in May I took a gamble and preordered her on the spot, without a single picture of the kit in evidence. Pictures were soon forthcoming, which happily justified the gamble with the glimpse of a solid sculpt and paint job. It was icing on the cake this morning to see over at Akibajin Blog that her upper half is apparently castoffable, an incredibly surprising move considering that a) Gurren Lagann is a kid’s show and b) Gainax has never allowed castoff PVCs to be made of Evangelion characters, which of any Gainax show seems ripe for such exploitation. Given this development it’ll be interesting to see how she does at retail come her September 27th release… (no more)

who would have guess it. i preordered this too. i like the figure’s figure. didn’t expect any castoff things though. not that it would have affected my decision.

I doubt there is really anything to see under there, that blog censors breasts whether they have nipples or not…

Nebbyn September 24th, 2007 at 11:12 am

I was just staring at the pic, now very happy I preordered this so long ago…. and I got a nosebleed… But yay for wonderful coincidences! Can’t wait to for this to come in the mail. ^^

Nice. I’ll be picking up this one as well for my collection and personal enjoyment. :)

Anyone know why she is listed as a December release on PA whereas everywhere else she is a September release?

Oh and what’s up with the “tentative” on PAs listing?

MD September 24th, 2007 at 2:48 pm

Looking at the closeup of her top…the quality doesn’t look that good. But I guess that’s cause this isn’t the final product amirite?

Deibi Manabu September 24th, 2007 at 2:51 pm

Meh…not really that interested, as Konami are very bad figure makers in my eyes. I will see though – they may surprise me…

SbebiWan September 24th, 2007 at 3:30 pm

I preordered her too a long time ago, I really don’t care about cast off. And about Konami, I got the 3 figures they did for Haruhi, Yuki and Mikuru, and I was quite surprised by the good quality, not top like Alter or MAx Factory, but good.

Shiro September 25th, 2007 at 2:28 am

Hmm, for some reason Playasia is telling me it wouldn’t be in-stock until December..

RH September 25th, 2007 at 4:00 am

According to both Play Asia’s price and release date, this could possibly be the Yoko MMS instead. The one with moveable joints.

Shingo September 25th, 2007 at 4:11 am

>>RH
That’s a good point. I was assuming from the product title and image that it was the correct item, but it’s impossible to be sure.. I’ve removed the link from the post for now.

>>Shiro
Yeah, I was thinking that might’ve just been a goof on their part, or a second round release or something. Oh Play-Asia-kun…

Needs cast off Misato.
