I just picked up this Rei figure at a con over the weekend. I've done some searching on the internet, but haven't been able to find anything pertaining to a matching Asuka. Does anybody know if one exists? It'd be nice to have the pair on my shelf :P

Yep, there's an upcoming Asuka figure with a double naginata like the one EVA-02 used in her fight against Shinji:

Although the Asuka one is made by Amakuni while the Rei Q one is from Sega, the two seems to be matching fairly well.

Kensuke is a military otaku who, at one point, is shown creepily taking pictures of girls to sell. He would clearly fit right in as an animator at Studio Gainax. -- Compiling_Autumn
EoTV is a therapist, EoE is a drill instructor. -- Chuckman
Seriously, that is the most fananked theory I've ever heard, more than Mari being Marty McFly travelling through time to keep her parents (Asushin) together. -- Jäeger

The more time pass and the more I'm sure that this new plugsuit design was created explicitly to counter the fact that Asuka only wears her plugsuit in Q! :lol:

The scale on those two don't match.

Rei figure is listed as 210mm, which makes her roughly 1/7.5
Asuka is listed as 1/6 scale.
Given the listed 380mm size to the top of the weapon and doing some pixel math with the photos, top of Asuka's head come out to ~26cm, which is exactly where she should be at 1/6 scale of 157cm height.

Rei being a whole head shorter than Asuka is gonna look very awkward on the shelf.

I meant matching in the theme, which is the pilots in their 3.0 plugsuit holding a human sized version of the weapon of choice their Eva used in the movie.
