I love them! I think they're pretty. And yeah, I wouldn't mind having the neko Eva figures Rob trashed a while back.

A friend of mine collects Rei figures saw this one. Well, a friend of mine who -also- collects Rei figures. He said he didn't care for the look. I have a bunch including the crazy military one and numerous others, but I think even I'd pass on this for other ones.
Hmm.. when I get back to my apartment I should find or take a picture of 'the collection'.

At least these don't weird me out as much as seeing Rei and Asuka in wedding dresses at a con. When I saw those I thought, "Ok, that's past the line," and I didn't even know I had a line for the strange Eva figures.

I want one of Rei and Asuka in fast food uniforms, If they're just going to keep making bizarre statues of them, I want one of them minimum wagin'.

Hrm. It seems like more people are for the figures than with Rob on this one. I thought the translucent tails were kinda cool - Asuka's hair not so much. And I totally agree that the outline of their legs in the mermaid tails is totally creepy. That alone makes them bad figures to me regardless of their other "good" aspects. I'm with Krauser on this one. *scratches head*

Oh man, I have the Gothic Lolita Asuka, with the black dress and it's so freakin' cute/pretty. I liked it enough that I was seriously considering getting it in red as well. The mermaids, however...not so much. I was excited by the description, because the idea of a mermaid Asuka is incredibly adorable, and would fit in with the rest of the Asukas. But...I dunno, the transparent hair and the tail (ugh) Rei's hair came out kind of pretty though, the colours on it were nice. I think I'll pass on these and save my money on something better.

I have the Rei & Asuka yuri fodder plug-suit statue. Might've gotten the sport figures, but they sold out pretty quickly.

Well... these are actually pretty old, probably came out around Finding Nemo, if I remember correctly... I, personally, think it was a pretty cool idea, plus I see Rei and Asuka more like how I see Urban Vinyl toys, they're more of an art form with other artist's interpretations. I wonder if I have these somewhere in my collection. Plus.... were'nt these UFO catchers?

The answer to all the crazy figures... Rei and Asuka got jobs as fetish models... and that's also why you can see leg impressions on the tails...these are simply from their mermaid fetish shoots, and the cosplay outfits could simply have been done better

I actually thought the Rei statue looked decent (I liked the color shading on the tail).
But I also thought, what is Tama staring at? That turtle on the base reminds me too much of Love Hina's hot springs turtle. |

Okay considering the fact that almost no figures of Rei are actually Rei in clothes she's wore in the actual show...[/img]

I have a moral argument against "sweet smiley Asuka" figurines. The Reis are usually in-character enough, but whoever makes these icons never fails to make Asuka look too sugary sweet to be real. At the very least, have her be brushing her hair with a dinglehopper and looking at herself in the mirror or something!
