I kinda like these... and I don't even like Eva that much. But- I know why! It's the translucent parts- they catch the light. And the metallic paint on the fins.
In short, I like them becuase they're shiny. I think that might be the Evil Marketing Ploy here- ingore sensibility, just make it shiny!

They are indeed pretty, but I agree that the two legs being formed for the sake of some lame V-line is reaaaally lame.
I too have a penchant for strange Rei figures, it perhaps ties so well into her being ripe for alternative world/human personality thing. Asuka's just...Asuka. A failed genius emo cutter that's too tsundere for her own good. =/ That being said, despite the negativity in the beginning of the article that some people bitched about, the content itself was quite good. Thorough at least. =3 Last edited by Magamish on Mon Jul 13, 2009 8:27 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Is that so? animenewsnetwork.com/astro-toy/2009-05-31/with-rob-bricken/dark-pucelle-by-enterbrain 
Maybe not "heaping praise," but that was a pretty positive review overall. |

The Neko figures are soooo... fricken cute, I love the Asuka. It looks like she was hunting the little fish cracker. Kawaii!!! Anyway the neko figs and the mermaids are both precious and totally worth the money!! |

Whoa, I think I might buy those!
They look pretty cute/cool to me!
I just love that Rob said "Who would buy these!?', and look at all the comments of people who are interested!

What, really? Do you have pics? Google image searches of "spartan rei" and "gladiator rei" got me nothing. Guuuuuh, this stupid thread has me craving more Rei figures, like a moth to a flame. I really want this Rei as Eva-01 (link nsfw (of course (oh, Japan))). |

Here's I think the whole thing. The Gladiator Rei is just below the tall one on the right, next to the military one. Pretty sure it's a Sega one.
Here's a pic I found. It's called "Evangelion Rei Special Mission Gladiator Action Figure" in the same line as the ninja and military ones I guess. 
Meanwhile, in Japan, I saw this display of the bride ones and was tempted to get it for the sheer oddity. Plus I could pose her next to, say, Deadpool for laughs. 
I do also have a smaller Misato collection.

Idk, I think they're kind of pretty. I'd definitely buy one if they were like, $5 (or less). Although I do agree, my first impression was "... why?" too. Haha I hope they make a squid Rei.

Let it be known that I'm extremely jealous of your Misato collection. Makes me wish that I had started collecting figures a few years sooner, so that I too could have a sweet Misato collection. Also, your Lilith UFO Catcher is awesome. |
