SEQUEL TO ANGEL CHROMOSOME-XX

Popular Line of Evangelion Inspired Figures Takes Flight with A-15 Arael-XX



Torrance, CA, November 13, 2006 – Yamato USA, the North American division of the Yamato Toy Group with headquarters in the otaku capital of the world - the Akihabara district of Tokyo, Japan, is pleased to announce the opening of pre-orders for “Sequel to Angel Chromosome-XX” Series 1: A-15 Arael –XX, the continuation of WAVE's popular line of Evangelion inspired figures.



“Sequel to Angel Chromosome-XX” Series 1: A-15 Arael-XX

The Angel's may be gone, but the threat lives on... With their latest diabolical plan, NERVE recklessly intends to cross human DNA with that of the Angels. The plan: Project-XX. The results: Angel Chromosome-XX.



Japanese collectible manufacturer WAVE in collaboration with GAINAX and Kannon Yoshizaki continues to bring the next chapter in the Evangelion saga to figural life with “Sequel to Angel Chromosome-XX” Series 1: A-15 Arael-XX. Joining previous experiments A-03 Sachiel-XX, A-14 Zeruel-XX, A-17 Tabris-XX, and A-02 Lilith-XX, Arael-XX measures approximately 5.15" and is depicted impaled with the Lance of Longinus which brought about her demise as an Angel. Arael-XX comes with detachable display base packaged in a collector's style window box with multiple views so that she can be appreciated without having to be removed... good news for die-hard collectors.



Yamato USA and its distribution partners are now excepting retailer pre-orders for this special piece. For more information on this and other great collectibles, please visit Yamato USA's website at www.YamatoToysUSA.com.

CREATORS' LABO #003: HAIBANE RENMEI – RAKKA #1



Torrance, CA, November 13, 2006 – On the leading edge of Japanese pop culture, Yamato USA, the North American division of the Yamato Toy Group with headquarters in the otaku capital of the world - the Akihabara district of Tokyo, Japan, is exceedingly pleased to unveil the first experiment from Yamato's latest line, the CREATORS' LABO… HAIBANE RENMEI – Rakka #1 PVC Statue.



CREATORS' LABO #003: HAIBANE RENMEI – Rakka #1 PVC Statue

From the CREATORS' LABO, Yamato reveals its latest masterwork: HAIBANE RENMEI – Rakka #1. Drawing upon Yoshitoshi ABe's (Serial Experiments Lain) illustration book, In the Town of Guri, In the Garden of Charcoal Feathers, sculptor Makoto Kobayashi wonderfully captures the world-view of mangaka ABe's legendary anime Haibane Renmei, a tale of a long-forgotten town where humans coexist with angelic creatures -- the Haibane. Rakka is the newest of the Haibane, awakening from a strange dream to an even stranger life leading to a wistful journey of self-discovery. Featuring a contemplative Rakka, Yamato's CREATORS' LABO: HAIBANE RENMEI - Rakka #1 blends ABe's soft delicate techniques with Kobayashi's amazing attention to detail to create a style all unto its own.



Yamato's CREATOR'S LABO #003: HAIBANE RENMEI – Rakka #1 is available from ABC Toys, Anime-zing Escape, Big Bad Toy Store, Entertainment Earth, Things from Another World, and AAA Anime. And be sure to look for Yamato's CREATORS' LABO #004: HAIBANE RENMEI – Rakka #2 and CREATORS' LABO #002: BURST ANGEL – Meg coming this December!
