IOW, completely accurate representation of the character.

Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

Shinji consistently appears to be very slender - especially, it seems, in artwork involving himself and Kaworu. I didn't pay no mind to the first figure.

The second figure on the other hand... just might be the ugliest version of Shinji I've ever seen.

I will concede that Shinji often appears very, very thin in official art (and the anime at times). The joints on the figure do not help one bit though. I think he would be better suited to a 6" figure like a Figma or something. The joints would probably be a bit less obtrusive and his overall sculpt would be a tad less undead (especially as his clothes would simply be part of his body rather than the infamously cheap and nasty rags Medicom uses draped over a body).

That face though...I don't know if they were aiming for the Khara pointy chin look, but...ugh. The gaunt facial structure, the pallid flesh, and those empty, soulless, "National Geographic Cover" eyes...It looks like the face of a barrow wight. The plugsuit version somehow manages to be even worse by adding what looks like a hunger for the warm, soft, sweet flesh of the living to his face. That face stares into the abyss and the abyss cowers in fear.

Yes I do have a penchant for hyperbole, why do you ask?

The Volks kit may look awful with its huge hip joints and daft proportions...but at least the rounded "teddy face" is a little bit less disturbing than the grotesque "lobotomized rake-spawn" stare of the RAH. It's still silly and awfully derpy, but at least it won't steal your soul.

In other news, my attempt at painting my Unit 01 kit went somewhat disastrously. The painted parts (her legs) are currently having a dunk in weak (plastic friendly) cleaning fluid.

Misato deserves a RAH figure as compensation for such a small thing.

That would mean it must be a hell of RAH figure.

Nah, Shinji is too moe and isn't that curious. He probably would stick his slender plastic arms in Kaworu's "place where they ought not be" though.

Pretty sure that's less an RAH and more a RealDoll.

Not that I'm complaining.

Shinji is too moe for that. RAH "Barrow Wight Shinji" is not moe at all. It is a horrendous, necromantic abomination made of pure hatred and eternal suffering, and it seeks to consume the mind, body and souls of all living things to ease its torturous existence.

RAH Shinji is hatred. RAH Shinji is death.

RAH Shinji is the horror.

Honestly, it doesn't look too bad to me. The face is a bit vacuous, yes; but really "horror" seems overstated.

Hyperbole is my lifeblood. "It looks a bit weird" isn't nearly as fun as "It looks like something the Old Ones came up with on an acid trip".

Looks like a new Sadamoto NGE Shinji and Yui prize/lottery figure from a series, Piece of Memories. No pics yet?
