EXO Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 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! Rohby ran away for the holidays... he's gone for a couple of weeks... Actually Rohby likes the little projects. He's a fan too, so he's pretty happy about helping out other fans. He gets a lot of crazy requests though, some are a good laugh, others are just . Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) sorry to get off track but my rei ayanami figure when i compare it to the boxpic 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 it was just mentioned elsewhere on this site that there is bootlegs of the rei out there on the market and the packaging and stuff almost seems identical to the real release i do not know to much about it. i do not known if yours is different because it is a slight error, a bootleg or if it just vary's from the ones on the box. do you have any pics?

He gets a lot of crazy requests though, some are a good laugh, others are just . -------------------- What would be cool would be if they released a Sinji with an Adam crusifix seat... Cool. I just wouldn't want to feel like we were begging for something like spoiled brats. It was awefully nice of him to recast that TF cannon last month, especially since he didn't have a personal interest in it. He's lucky that there aren't hundreds of trannys from other boards filling his inbox with all kinds of requests. Or maybe there are and he's in for a surprise when he gets home. And, YES, I would love a Shinji figure done in this style. The Adam crucifix seat is a great idea. Shinji is long overdue for an action figure and having him done in this style would make up for it. He could come with the Lance of Longinus, too. Poor Shinji always gets overlooked because he's a whiney little bitch rather than a sexy little bitch. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) because he's a whiney little bitch rather than a sexy little bitch. could not agree more, as for the Shinji figure i to would like that one as well. Edited January 3, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote

Bear in mind that there are also legit HK releases which are identical to the Japanese version just the packaging and the manga printed in Mandarin. Quote
Anubis Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 They are truly awesome figures, but I just can't justify spending $100 on the two tiny figures, no matter how sweet they are. I already have the great new Sega plugsuit statue figures, and the 2 cockpit gashapons, so I have plug suits covered already. Need a Shinji though. Cmon Sega. The skull throne is a very original and very sweet addition though. Kudos to those willing to cough up the $$$. Quote
F360° Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) Shinji figure? ,, NO!, nope, they better not do it. Why Shinji, when they can do Misato, with changable hands, a gun, a beer can, strechable short skirt, and a car seat with swingable door? well, I guess shinji is ok,, but only after all the fine females are release.

EXO Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 I wish there was more female pilots,but I plan to display these in front of my SOC Evas. I'm trying to figure out what to do with the other 00-prototype if they came out with a shinji... a custom Rei? MAybe a bandaged up one... hmmm Quote

Bariaburu Faita Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Yes, I was offering to get these for people at $24 plus shipping each. If I got a better response at the start I could have gotten 50 of em. But people started asking for them after the issues were all sold out. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 it is a shame i missed that thread i would have definetly got one. if you happen to come across any extra let me know i will definetly get one. Quote
eriku Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 it is a shame i missed that thread i would have definetly got one. if you happen to come across any extra let me know i will definetly get one. Ditto. I knew not of the thread myself. Quote
MrDisco Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 i thought someone said they (the magazine) will be re-offering it again? Quote

What's the quality? Quote
dr_vandermeer Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 didn't even notice the skulls! that's awesome! Quote

But people started asking for them after the issues were all sold out. That's too bad, since I'd like to have one of these figures. I'm not even a fan of EVA, but the figures look great and I'd really like to have one. Quote
Yohsho Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 lol I finally got my Rei figure and manga for my B-Day, thank you canadian stores and their slow recieving. Anyways, I really can't justify paying like $60 US for a figure that's going to be the same size as Rei even if it comes with a cool skull throne and big spear. Everyone keeps forgetting that Shinji's Mom piloted Eva-01 they should make one of her. I've got a pic of her ina plug suit somewhere. Quote
Baldrick Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 What listings are you finding the Rei's on Ebay under? Quote
Sephiroth Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 I just bought a Rei figure off eBay and still don't know which version I got! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWN:IT If someone knows the differences in the Japanese and the bootleg versions ... i'd love some help! Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Sepiroth yours looks legit. I wasn't aware that they were bootlegging this. But then again no real shock if its true. Rob Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 crap you bought out the one i wanted, i was waiting for someone on this site to get back to me, and i was watching that one on the side just in case this deal falls through, congrats though i hope you like it, i am still getting one for myself, i will find one soon. Quote
eriku Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but has it ever been established what company/studio is sculpting these figures? Is it a branch of Kaiyodo? Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 i do not think it is a branch of kaiyodo it is called F-Face Eden Plastics he seems to be the sculpter of this figure and the Rei figure here is the link. i guess they went with someone independent. Eden Plastics Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 just realized, it looks like he sculpted or played apart in the design of the votoms or is it scopedog (or are they the same? sorry i am not to farmilliar with the series) figure from yamato. Quote
eriku Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Thanks for the info! Considering the unique design of these figures it's not surprising that they came from an independant sculptor. And I should have known that the same creative force was behind the new Chirico Cuvie figure from Votoms. It's got a similar style to it with the unique and highly functional articulation, not to mention the metal rivets in the joints. Now I'm even more happy to be getting the Chirico figure! Quote
eriku Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Woah, I found these links on the Eden Plastics page! This guy is awesome! Who are these chicks anyway? http://www3.osk.3web.ne.jp/~kaiten/gallery...e2/04-08-27.htm Quote

MrDisco Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 i'm pretty sure that last pic is the she-hulk from Airmaster Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) the one that looks like a android maid in green i believe is from phantasy star online, there was a link on that page to the official site and i recall seeing her in it. she comes in a few different colors and i mentioned her a few pages back on this thread. Edit: just checked again that is the 2.0 version there are 2 others and they are from phantasy star online Edited January 4, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Woah, I found these links on the Eden Plastics page! This guy is awesome! Who are these chicks anyway?http://www3.osk.3web.ne.jp/~kaiten/gallery...e2/04-08-27.htm Whoa. That'd be PERFECT for a Stand Alone Complex Major Motoko custom. Quote
zeo-mare Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 i wish this guy would do a figure like that, it crossed my mind before as well. Quote
Bub Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 WOW. I love this thread. Wish they could make some Dead or Alive figures out of this frame. Quote
wolfx Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Woah, I found these links on the Eden Plastics page! This guy is awesome! Who are these chicks anyway?http://www3.osk.3web.ne.jp/~kaiten/gallery...e2/04-08-27.htm Those would be Racaseal from Phantasy Star. They were posted along with the EVA Manga Rei figure as well. Unfortunately only available at Wonderfest in sprues. U gotta drill your own holes and stuff. Quote
eriku Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 This guy could make some killer Sakura, Chun Li and Cammy figures from Street Fighter. I hope he gets a lot more work because at the moment he's my favorite figure designer. Quote
Sephiroth Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I finally found HLJ's ad for the Rei Vol 9 figure: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?KDK00760 Had I known when this figure came out, I would have bought a few...especially with an original price of 1,700 Yen each. Quote
