EVA Merchandise That Doesn't Exist But Should
I am well aware that almost anything that Gainax can sell as Evangelion merchandise will be sold as Evangelion merchandise--but that leaves a big "almost." What NGE product hasn't Gainax made yet that you would want to see?
Personally, I love collector's edition DVDs and box sets. Whenever I buy anything, I always try to go for the ones with director's commentaries, making-of featurettes, etc. One of my favorites would be the special edition of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which has enlightening text commentary and very interesting documentaries on how the movie was made. And, of course, the Alien box set, which has nine discs, oodles of special features, and a very cool case, all for under thirty bucks. The Dirty Harry collector's edition also deserves mention for including a shitload of booklets and material to go along with it--something that I also enjoyed in the box sets for Fullmetal Alchemist.
My dream piece of EVA paraphernalia would have to be a box set like that, including the whole series (director's cuts included), Death and Rebirth, End of Evangelion, and some special goodies like director's commentary, making-of featurettes, and so on and so forth. Maybe some booklets or some other kind of feelies. And, of course, a nice shiny box to hold it all in.

At least one, if my memory serves. Probably after one of my suggestions that Gainax cut the hypocrisy and just add official Asuka and Rei realdolls to their product line.

action figures of some of the supporting cast
even more puzzling is the lack of Gendo and Kaji action figures, especially

I want Games Workshop to adapt the franchise. It would have to be JSSDF, Seele, and Nerv pitted against each other, because one alien versus one EVA kills interest pretty fast on the tabletop.

now, if they did make action figures of some of the supporting cast, I may end up having to buy three Mayas, though only one will remain in its original condition, while the ot...no, i'll need four
that's right

LOL. Just what do you intend to do with them if you ever get to possess these Maya figures?
For me more figures of the Angels would be nice. Honestly if theres one major factor or thematic line of figurines these merchandisers have all forgotten about its the angels. They cant even make a complete line of small gashapon figures for these monsters? Jesus! Do it already! If not a full line of 6 inch tall figures for every angel that has ever appeared.

I think they did produce a DVD box set including everything listed in your original post. The entire TV series, plus director's cut episodes, plus Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion. They never sold it in the US though. I think it was only released in Japan, and possibly some other Asian countries. I'll see if I can find more info on it for you, but I know it does not have English duds or subs.
The GW adaptation is a great idea. I could see that being fun. I think you would need more than just three armies though, and the details would be tricky to work out.
I would like to see GNR action figures. I think Rei looks awesome with the wings, but I have only once seen a paper-weight type thing, but it wasn't the whole figure. I was cut off where her legs are below the clouds when she first appears in EoE.

This is "Evangelion merchandise that doesn't exist but should", not "Evangelion merchandise that doesn't exist and shouldn't."
Although the latter would be a good idea for a topic in its own right.

@WellManicuredMan:
They released two really nice limited edition DVD box sets in Japan that I can remember, one with a see-through red outer case containing the entire series plus movies and directors cuts.
http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k126226465
The other was released in 3 parts and was called 'Second Impact Box' (parts 1, 2 & 3) that also included the entire series+movies and even the Girlfriend of Steel game.
http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/133259135
Both I believe didn't have english subs...
@Electric Sachiel:
I recently found out they've been releasing the Angels under a range called 'Soul of Soft':

@EvaRaver:
I've got one GNR (quite small Sega released figure) pictured here:
I like it quite a lot, but yeah I second a good quality GNR being made

well, as I said, only one will remain normal. The other three will become frankenstein custom figures
One for The Overlord/The Dark One, one for Naomi Mifune and the third will be Giant Reaper Demon Maya/Naomi
I might need a fifth one for well...The Gaskmask Evangelion equivilent of GRDM/N
now...the lack of figures for The Angels is also a surprise and a figure for GNR will have to be...well...rather large
as for Blu-Rays for Death and Rebirth/EoE, that would be cool, though just general HD anamorphic SD DVDs in the states would do as well for me

you must be talking about that figurine
i'm thinking more along the lines of an actual action figure, much like the Revoltech series (Like the Evangelions and the Fraulein Revoltech Rei and Asuka figures)
