Go-Busters Gashapon Series 1: Yellow Buster (2012)


On a technical level, this particular vending machine rendition of Yoko is lacking. Part of my disappointment was admittedly the result of the ambient heat it was exposed to on its journey to the NegLiner. It was very gummy when I first laid hands upon it. It feels much more solid, now, but it's still a mite soft for my tastes. Positioning the supporting block by twisting her foot is of utmost importance, as if it's not at exactly the right angle, this will topple over readily, even if you set it down carefully. Her head is strangely on a swivel and comes apart in halves, even though it arrives already attached. It's entirely unnecessary, to be frank. I'd love to wax philosophical about this, as Brother Roberts of Bardic Broadcasts does with his statues, but I've done that enough. Plus, this isn't a pose that evokes her emotional and narrative significance.

It's really just kinda sexy, innit?
