TOYS Yoko Ritona Real Image Version – New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Most of Yoko’s PVC incarnations in the past have been somewhat comical ala her Nendoroid and Revoltech turns. Even when Yoko was sculpted to look sexy in the Polygonia and Gift figures, she still had the “anime look” upon her buxom personage. It’s time to get serious however.
The latest Yoko Ritona rendition from Max Factory is a “Real Image” figure which measures 27.50cm or 10.82″ tall and is made of PVC. The “Real Image” designation means she’s designed to look like an actual woman. Her body is proportioned properly with long limbs and her bosom appears natural instead of otherworldly. Yoko’s face is also realistic with normal-shaped eyes and faintly rouged lips. Max Factory eschews the humongous “anime” eyes the Yoko possesses in the Gurren Lagann series… eyes which have been known to sparkle brighter than the Pleiades star system. In “Real Image,” Yoko’s eyes are enhanced with eyeliner and big lashes that enhance their realness. All preorders have shipped as of yesterday and new orders are welcome for dispatch today.

Japanese Preorder Bonuses
Publishers in Japan give away preorder bonuses as an incentive for customers to preorder their games. The bonuses are supposed to be given away by vendors but it doesn’t always work out in the intended manner.
Over the past few years, an aftermarket of sorts has sprung up in the Japanese distribution network where vendors sell off their allocation of bonuses to other vendors who are willing to pay for the inventory. NCS has been able to purchase a motley assortment of “bonus” inventory for Japanese games that we never stocked thanks to this specialized Japanese aftermarket. For the Valkyria 2 Document of Gallia bonus, NCS was able to purchase a very large quantity and the bonuses are available for sale and shipping out today. NCS can offer discounts for vendor purchases of 30-100 copies (Please note: The minimum quantity for wholesale is 30 copies).

NCS Product Synopsis

One day, a mysterious cowled traveler approaches Judie and asks her to help him fabricate an object called the “Dragon’s Hourglass” which is made of two globes of glass encased in a metal framework. The special property that the hourglass possesses is the ability to halt the flow of time. As Judie dutifully goes about her work and the mixing of reagents, one of her hairs falls into the bubbling cauldron and dissolves.
