Here’s the biggest Nanoha figure ever , standing at 39 cm high (1/4 scale) . I was surprised to see that it was in fact Gift that made this one , and not Good Smile like it was announced . I guess Good Smile is just the distributor this time . And quality wise , it’s Gift allright , with a nearly perfect quality and a great overall look . This Nanoha is not as impressive as the Gift’s Yoko (because of the awesome details Yoko has on the clothes) but a little bikini is always less awesome i guess . Still , Nanoha is without any doubt , one of the most impressive figures ( by her size) and the ultimate swimsuit figure ever.

The base is a white round one , nothing spectacular but it looks solid enough to keep the figure in place . Because yes , Nanoha is quite heavy (sorry Nanoha), being half ABS … And yes you’ve seen it right , this figure needs a big metal bar and a support to help her stands . It’s not a real problem , as the metal bar is hidden behind her right leg and the support is really hard to spot . So good job from Gift.

The paint job on Nanoha is quite good , better than on other 1/4 figures (like the FREeing bunnies) , with more details and no bad spots . The paint used for her skin tone is fine , with good use of shading and Nanoha’s sexy little bikini is sweet too , painted in a pearlish pink color . Nanoha’s body is greatly scuplted , with lots of details and she seems quite happy letting us look at her . My favorites parts about this figure are her hands and feet , really nicely detailed , and all nails pink painted of course . Her hair looks great too and her eyes are beautiful , and are not glossy , way better than the FREeing bunnies again …

9/10

A really big stunning figure , she is truly the best swimsuit figure ever . Nanoha fan or not , you can’t say no to this beautiful and really sexy girl .

Here’s finally the 1/5 Yoko from Gift . The proto shots were already looking good but the retail version is at least as much impressive ! This Yoko is quite big (even with the pose) and very detailled for a 1/5 figure . Usually i find bigger figures less detailled than their 1/8 counterparts , but that’s not the case here . People from Gift have made an impressive job making this Yoko and it’s great to see that they bring us what they promised .

Technically , i can’t find anything bad to say about this Yoko , everything is just flawless and , personal opinion , looks better than any Alter or Max Factory figure i’ve seen lately … The paint job is impressive and the choice to make the hair not shiny was the best one (and it’s good to see a real beautiful red on Yoko’s hair for once …) . Her clothes are painted with shiny colors and very detailled too (look at those thigh high and those boots !) and Yoko’s body curves are sure to charm any figure collector . But what makes me so in love with her must be her eyes (real ones that is , even if the other ones are nice too) , so stunning and painted to the perfection . Yoko’s face is just mesmering and i can’t stop looking at her . And that’s a proof of a great figure and it’s the way it should always be . And i forgot , the round mirror base is awesome too .

9.6/10 The best Yoko available , period . And a stunning figure , with flawless painting , a great (and sweet) pose , beautiful colors and a mirror base . Did i say her face was the most awesome ever ?
