The existence of the Petit Eva show is a reminder that we were SO CLOSE to an official, cute and wholesome slice of life AU, but instead we got some bizarre (not in a good way) youtube-kids-esque... thing...
Eva haul やっと来た!I'm a huge fan of Evangelion for its striking visuals, unconventional and revolutionary writing, and lithe designs of the Eva units. Also got some Reis since she's my favorite for obvious reasons.
The Tsukuda Hobby ones (last photo) are some of the biggest figures I’ve seen, standing at 43cm/17 inches tall. I’m particular about them being on model to the anime and these have accurate proportions. What I don’t like is their smell and texture though, it feels oily. Very unpleasant to touch. But I’m happy to own these large scale figures as they capture the awesome grandeur of the giant Evas.
As for the beautiful Rei figures, I’m impressed with the high quality paint job. Her hair is translucent towards the end which looks amazing. Her plugsuit also has a nice metallic shine. Rei on the left side (3rd and 4th pic) has a standard matte finish so you can see the difference. You know how I keep saying Near is Rei coded? Rei in the last Rebuild film all the more confirms it. I love the fact they both share the same hairstyle even as they get older. Seriously, the resemblance is crazy- from short, chin-length hair to super long and disheveled. Overall, I have to say these cool figures add a lot of swag to my desktop and workspace!
My Evangelion flight tags finally came in!! They came out exactly like my drawings, I'm so thrilled. These are meant to be like bomber jacket sleeve tags, but can go just about anywhere like on a bag, zipper, keychain, etc. I may also add a little charm on them for a little extra something 💖
