Is it gummy candy? Because that would be pretty awesome.

Its actually a hard resin. Before I bought it I thought it was candy also lol. I got it for a fair price because some air bubbles got into the resin before it set and the damage is a bit noticeable on the bottom.

So... I'm debating on buying a $25 Asuka bedsheet from Fanime. :hide: Sucks they have no Eva body pillows, though those cost $40+ anyway...

Why would we facepalm, lol. Eva bedsheets are badass.
Though, i am kind of surprised it is cheap /as cheap as it can get for Eva i mean/ compared to other series. Saw a Geass one not long ago, and god was that fucking expensive.
Anyway, i say go for it. Your bed will approve Asuka on it. |DD

Here's something the Gainax cash cow did not get a penny from me for, because I printed it myself. :)

BTW, here's how it looked when I bought it:

It looked awesome, but it only worked with the wireless Generation NEX famiclone, which I do not have, so it was off to the diabolical laboratory with it for some major retrofitting.

RE: Evangelion

The bubbles at the bottom actually give it a little more realism.

RE: SSD

Good luck with the EVA bedsheets. You won't find me sleeping on Doctor Who bedsheets right now, but this is because it hasn't occurred to me to get any. (Also, I'd want to, you know, keep 'em nice.)

RE: Timstuff

Are you planning on piloting a national monument with that?

There's a new Revoltech Fräulein Rei, ver. 2.0. I'm gonna try again to see if I can get an import to my corner of the world. Also, waiting for those figma figures. Mari's one got released today or yesterday. I want Rei!

If so, he'll need a lot of weird goo, a plane ticket to New York, and a cassette tape of "Higher and Higher" on repeat.

The new Rei won't be out until sometime next month.

I decided to finally give in and buy a Revoltech Fraulein today, and ended up choosing Mari after lengthy deliberation. I just couldn't go with Asuka; her face is so moe. I'll wait for the more accurate Figma to get my Asuka fix.

well they are fairly soft so maybe, though the ruler edge is sharper than the 'knife' edge, re-enact the second fight with a tomato!

EVANGELION FAST FOOD SET

Not enough with sport shoes, 1-meter tall statue, Tamiya Mini 4WD models, canned milk coffee, and the more recent G-Shock watches, a new Evangelion related item is coming up, for fans to experience Evangelion closer in their life. ^^

My Evangelion 1.0 Complete set arrived today and I've just preordered the 2.0 set from HLJ. Really pleased with the quality of the main art book and the set as a whole, unfortunately the Film Strip I got was pretty terrible... (It's of the nameless UN guys who are in charge before Nerv take over, at the beginning when Sachiel attacks >_>)

Also picked up these at the London Expo:

Ninja-Rei!

Military-Rei!

Music Box!

And got this one a while back, it's much bigger (and better) than I was expecting:

Ugh. Those pictures make me sick. They remind me of the McDonalds Avatar ads.
