zeo-mare Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) Does anyone know if this item has been released yet and if it has, how much it is ? it is a perfect match for the REI Special Box figure that was released alittle while back. I thought it was a kit bash but appearently it is either coming out or already out, if any one knows anything about this item please let me know. Asuka Eva figure thanks chris Edited January 2, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 2, 2005 Author Posted January 2, 2005 i was looking through babelfish on the translation it mentions something about Shounen Ace Boys book? is this some sort of special mail away figure you can get? it mentions next month for the 10 anniversery. i hope someone can translate or give me some info on this item thanks so very much Chris Quote
chowyunskinny Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 you can pre-order it from Toy-Wave Says it's going to be a March release Toy-Wave Click the Pre Order button on the bottom of the page, Then click Limited Toys Quote
eriku Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 $65?? I love this figure but not for that price. I paid $30 for Rei, which is pretty high for what it is, but not too expensive for my blood. I hope it's possible to get Asuka from other places for a better price. Quote
EXO Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 There was an offer to get these figures a while back from Bariaburu Faita. He gotta hold of a few of the magazines that you need to send in the coupons. You guys should PM him if he has some more or if he can get it. If that fails try contacting Seichi. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...opic=11097&st=0 Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Is there ANY chance for both of these figures being sold in a two pack? I'd be willing to pay about $50 for a set. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 2, 2005 Author Posted January 2, 2005 thanks guys for all the info I appreciate this greatly, $60.00 bucks huh? at least i did not miss it, maybe i can find it a little cheaper. Quote
F360° Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 I think these are mark at higher price because of the improved figure, better postability, and knowing that the Rei run was a sucess. I see the Rei figure going for around $50 on ebay,, so this new figure with better postability, 2 extra hands, a weapon, and dead EVA skull will be worth the $15 more?. But either way,, $65 is a bit too high for my taste. Quote
F360° Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) Here another link that shows more of the Asuka figure,,It's shows more of improvement from the Rei figure, a better hip joint, and even the hair moves.. Asuka figure pic,, it's near the middle of the page Edited January 2, 2005 by F360° Quote

Asuka figure pic,, it's near the middle of the page yea i noticed the other link to before, he also has a great kit from what i believe is Phantasy Star Online it looks like a Android Maid with a ton of weapons, looks like you have to put that one together however Quote
EXO Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 It wasn't $65 with BF... I hope it's better than the Rei figure. Mine tends to fall apart, so I leave it in the box. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 2, 2005 Author Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) is it broke EXO? or just loose i believe it was only about $30.00 from BF a much better price, if i cannot get it from him i will just buy it online, anyway would you sell your rei EXO? Edited January 2, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote

No. haha... It's still a pretty well detailed figure. It's not broken but the joints are loose and fall apart easily. It's takes long to put it in a pose just because you have to keep reattaching the arms or legs. Here's a pic of it apart. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 2, 2005 Author Posted January 2, 2005 i wonder if they are all like that. do you have any pics of her in different pose's? she looked pretty articulated. can you put anything in the joints to make them tighter, someone said you could stick a little peice of paper around the ball joint and it is much tighter when you put it in the socket, i know this works for gundams Quote

I got mine for about USD10 MRSP, IIRC. As for pictures, I'd show you mine but my website's down. Quote
F360° Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 omg,, i was searching around on Toy wave and the Rei figure is like $80 Rei Quote
wolfx Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Heck I'll just upload some here. Here's an attempt at following the manga's front cover pose. Quote
wolfx Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Its getting hot in here...so take off all your.... *cough* Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 thanks for the pics, girl on girl huh thought about posing the Rei and Asuka back to back in a sort of hentai yet not quite pose when i get them. as for the toy wave price thats nuts i would not pay $80.00 specially since i still see them for around $20.00 Chris Quote
MrDisco Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 does the asuka figure come with that skull throne (wierd as it is). i need a spare throne for rei! Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 appearently it will come with the throne. looks alittle out of place. is that supposed to be a skeletal EVa Unit on it ? Quote
wolfx Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 does the asuka figure come with that skull throne (wierd as it is). i need a spare throne for rei! Yeap. It comes with the throne and the progressive spear, halberd thing. Quote
eriku Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) Waaaaaaaaait just a minute here....there are two different skulls on those thrones! Asuka's has 4 eye sockets (look closely) and Rei's has only 1 (as it should)!! Does this mean Asuka's throne comes with interchangable heads? Man, I want this thing even more now! Edited January 3, 2005 by eriku Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 i think it comes with 2 different heads, from what i saw i think there is a pic with the throne with one head and the other head lying right near it showing that they are interchangable Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) here is the pic of what it comes with, i so want this. Edited January 3, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote
eriku Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 here is the pic of what it comes with, i so want this. D'oh! Thanks, I didn't notice the extra skull in that photo. Man, maybe I WILL find a way to justify $65 for this thing. Especially after having another look at the intricate tree of life pattern etched into the side of the throne. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 it is a shame that it is so expensive for such a small figure, but it does look really nice, and if you have the rei figure it is the perfect match. Quote
EXO Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) There's no way I would pay $65 for it... and the Rei comes with a Seat from the capsule... why get the skull seat? If you guys really want a skull seat, I guess I can ask Rohby to do a small run of them just for us. But that's thinking way ahead. What would be cool would be if they released a Sinji with an Adam crusifix seat... Edited January 3, 2005 by >EXO< Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 actually i am more interested in the figure not the seat. the seat is a nice touch, but i am getting the Rei figure and i love the way this one looks so I would like to get it as well. Quote
eriku Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Ditto. The Asuka figure is the main thing I'm after, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited by the skull throne. I like the seat that Rei came with, but this skull throne looks even better to me. Sure it's not really a 'series accurate' thing, but I love the design and symbolism of it. Would there be a chance of Rohby recasting it? I'd love a second one for Rei. Poor Rohby, we must keep him pretty busy! Quote
Rick_Randy Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 sorry to get off track but my rei ayanami figure when i compare it to the box pic of her, the rei on the pic seems to have a wider fuller face, not sure if anyone has the same problem or notices that compared with the rei pic on their box Hope this one of asuka WILL be closer to the pics shown here. I wish you coluld move her head up and down. I'd really like to see a 12 inch fully articulate version of both rei and asuka ones that REALY look like them. so far the gigger ones we get are nice but would want to change poses (want posability a little more than that of a GI joe 3 3/4") Quote
