Name: Pocco Line: Fraulein Revoltech Manufacturer: Kaiyodo Released: 2008 Scale: 6 in. (figure is 5.85 inches tall) Accessories: 2 alternate sets of hands (3 sets total), Sword, a spiffy Stand Let's find-out who "Pocco" is exactly. There's this totally awesome artist by the name of Shunya Yamashita who released "Sweet Dreams", one of his many art-books which collect his incredible drawings of, you guessed it, hot anime chicks, and Pocco is the character gracing its cover. Yamashita doesn't draw women like stick-figures, he gives them more realistic proportions, resulting in a collection of full-bodied babes that will leave you gawking ever wider with every turn of the page. Aside from the obvious reason, I fell in love with his art because of the medieval/cyber/steampunkish elements he mixes in there. Yeah, a lot of the drawings are straight-up pin-ups with little more than the subject and her disappearing panties, but the characters wearing more clothes are far more interesting. Here's a gallery with samples of his work. (And don't forget to come back for the rest of the toy-review!) I also appreciate that the folks at Kaiyodo decided "Hey, this guy has cool drawings, let's make figures out of them!" That's a customizer's mentality, taking an awesome design and making an awesome figure of it. Kaiyodo also created a line of Pokemon figures with incredible sculpts, as part of a trading-figure game which has apparently died as far as I know. Such a shame. I only mention this because Pokemon are awesome." here more picture |

Wow. Revo Pocco shelfwarmed badly at my local anime/video game shop... I never saw what she looked like out of the box before. So cool! Great character design... kind of reminds me of Lightning from FF13. The neck joint seems a little big though with these earlier generation Revos...
