It's always been like that, I think. It's just the excess part of the belt is longer in RoE. Same thing goes for Kaworu, too :]

Sorry about that dude, totally forgot! Misa-chan, at a most unflattering angle.

Omg, I had no idea they are selling the Rebuild plushies. Love the Haruhi pillow, by the way. xD

Well, other then a few dvds and most of the English manga, all I have is these figurines.

The Shougouki Revoltech I got for some holiday (birthday I think...) The smaller Sho, Ni, and Sangouki's I bought at a local anime convention. My friend lost poor Sangouki's hands at that con, so I replaced them with Sho's... And Sangouki is missing a hand because I accidently whapped it off the shelve while putting away some manga. The hand fell off and I can't seem to find it. ^.^;;

I have that Unit01 and Unit02! ^_^ I got them when I was in Barcelona (of all places!). There was this awesome manga and anime shop just off of Las Ramblas (the main street), but all of the anime and manga was in either Catalan or Spanish.

So, I just spent my money on figures instead.

That looks awesome, but I don't think plushies are my 'thing' to be honest!

Amen. And while we're at it, dark brown hair, not black. I hate that. I know it's Sadamoto's colour work, but it makes me think of manga-Shinji, and that is not nice.

But why is that figure labeled as a "Rebuild" figure? I got one last year for my birthday.

I love plushies. I have a whole bunch of them. :P I'd like more of non-anime characters, though.

A Rebuild Kaworu plushie would be nice, I'm going to keep my eyes opene for one.

Yeah, that whole set is just a re-package of a few older sets. The Gainax Cash Cow is now cheating. :evil:

Eva Stuff I got yesterday:

(ALL of these Eva figures were from my Stepbrother)

~Rei Party Dress Version Figure

~Rei BMX Trick Figure

(Both of the Rei figures are loosely(?) based on drawings in the Die Strene artbook: RiAO(?) riding a bike with Shinji chasing after her, and Rei and Shinji all "gussied up". Rei's dress also makes an apperance in the GoS2 game and manga, though it's slightly different, IIRC.)

~Asuka School Uniform Version Figure

~Asuka Casual Clothes Version Figure*

...I feel dirty after such a Whoring of Gainax*Khara (as the copyright info on the bottom of each figure says)...Although an Asuka and Rei are fine, too! :P

*My personal favorite, though the Rei on Bike one is also cool. ^_^

Silence, you. :P :lol:

Sailor Star Dust wrote:~Asuka Casual Clothes Version Figure*


Is that the one where she has her hair down? Love that.

The latest thing floating around Teh Bay is models - 1/8 size I think - of Catgirl-Rei and Bikini-Rei from the Ayanami Raising Project game. The catgirl one is very cute, if completely reidiculous.

Yeah, it's the one where she has her hair down and her top looks just like her red and white stripped bikini. ^_^ (Maybe I like it so much just because she looks really pretty like that.)

What's cool with the Asuka school uniform figure one is she's detachable from the stand, not that it really matters except she can sit using her legs instead of her butt.

hehe, I love the "Bunny suit" from the Ayanami and Asuka Raising Game, thats too funny. :P

Gah, eBay seems to be all out of the Rei portraits figure with the Lance of Langinus :[

I've been re-watching Evangelion recently, and it's made me realise how much I like Rei. Now I want more Rei figures!

So, I guess you are a Rei fan too? I think I'm becoming a huge Rei fan, I used to be indifferent to both her and Asuka (I preffered the male characters) but upon my latest rewatching, I'm starting to appreciate the female characters a lot more, especially Rei! Plus, she's just so iconic!

Can anyone point me in the direction of an online store that might stock Portraits 3 Rei?
