Yoko versus Zero

January 3, 2010

An epic confrontation between everyone’s beloved sniper rifle wielding heroine of “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann” versus the genius warlock from “Code Geass”?

Well, not quite. Seeing Yoko’s expression, she isn’t sure what to think of this particular Zero…

During the Christmas period Coca Cola did a huge door to door promotional tour here, giving out free bottles and cans of their beverages, including these tiny cans of Coke Zero.

Looking at the can I thought it was rather cute due to its near chibi size. Seeing the color scheme of red and black, thought it would match my Yoko nendoroid for a photo opportunity.

Yoko is my first nendoroid and while she does look very cute, she hasn’t converted me to the nendoroid followers camp.

Had a hard time posing her for photos without using her base as she would constantly topple over in one direction or another. Also didn’t like having to fiddle with her arms and other accessories, most were rather loose and her arms would fall off at the slightest nudge.

Am still planning on getting the “K-ON!” Azusa nendoroid, but don’t think I’ll really collect much more of them.

Love the angry/frustrated expression in that pose, nendo Yoko looks like she’s ready to take on the can for a one on one fight!

    That’s sweet :) You had a good idea here.
    Nendos are … a problem for me. I think they’re cute as hell but i don’t feel myself buying one. Wonder why …

    Oh Coca Cola should grace my region with freebies aswell.But PLZ with normal coke ^^

    She topples off to the back? I am amazed since I thought those delicious Yokoppai help her balance in the opposite direction ^_^

    @Katsura-chan & battrastard
    Well she is a cute nendoroid but for their price and the fact they’re so hard to pose and fiddle with, I’m not entirely convinced myself either that I’ll get many more, except for maybe the Azusa nendoroid.
    @Blowfish
    Lol, yeah one would think her Yokoppai would balance it out but alas not.
    @Leonia
    Yes, she has a nice variety of faces to use.
