Damn. I make too many pancakes to not allow myself to purchase that tasty-looking pan.

Only problem is, Zeruel's face is permanently in an "OH NOES" expression. I think I would feel guilty about eating it. Food isn't much fun when it is aware of its impending demise.

I'll cover mine with cherry syrup. For, y'know, realism. I can't eat my fool unless it's dripping red with the blood of conquest. I lie, but still awesome.

Make sure to keep one full maraschino cherry for the core.

Or alternatively, do them as savoury pancakes with a tomato sauce (core fluid) and strips of pecorino cheese for the tentacle/toilet paper arm things.

Nice.

I like to stockpile semi-official pics (like ads etc) and to a lesser extent, above-average fanart of the Children in civilian clothing.

Partially for fun, partially so I won't have to just make up something that will wind up loooking stu-liciously stupid for the sake of fanfic.

It's like Asuka is the only one of them who ever wears something other than her uniform or plugsuit.

I've watched anime on and off for a couple of years now. Only thing that I've always wanted to get was an Azusa Nakano Nendoroid. That was, until two months ago. I watched NGE for the first time, and now I've just spent 200 US Dollars on a frickin' Asuka figure. WTF?!! Why am I doing this?!! Take all my money Gainax!!! Take it all!!! :cringe:

Why, you may ask? I do not even know myself.
Perhaps it was funny.

However, I purchased plenty of worthwhile items too, such as a Sachi t-shirt, an interface headset, and more clearfiles than you can shake a stick at.

is there a comprehensive database of all merchandise? of everything since it seems to have the most random things. I've got both Rei and Asuka sheets and a friend bought Rei and Asuka in wedding dresses. Who thinks up these ideas and gets away with it? that would be the most awesome job. Is there a toilet set with a picture of Shinji on it?

I think he gets enough shit from the fandom (and hatedom) as it is. No need to encourage them.

I thought about starting an Eva merchandise wiki but decided not to as it would pain me to write about all the stuff out there that I don't have, plus it would be a lot of work. Merch has been released for the series since it started and this has gotten better or worse depending on how you look at it, as time has gone on. Also, I lack the Japanese language skills.

The EvaWiki is a starting point and I recommend this book for the older merch. It's the most used Eva book I have. A user who has been on and off sporadically has put his massive collection online at http://evangelion.eu/. It's better as a visual reference since he doesn't caption with details like specific item names, release dates, or manufacturers. My collection isn't as large but I do include the item names and release dates for most of what I have.

The following can be used as general references:

No offense taken at that I hope, as this is an area where your site can really add value when that information is available.

There's some overlap between what we have, so my site can help you out with those products.
