MrDisco Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Oh the wonderful things available in Japan... Quote
EXO Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Whoah that's awesome... can we get that? Whoever made that should make hardsuits from the original BGC series! Quote
EXO Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Disco Stu says... someone help translate for us! Quote
Valkyrie Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 As far as I can tell, it will come with book 9 of the manga as a limited edition set. Due out in april at a price of Y1700. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 wow, that figure looks awesome! Now all we need is asuka! So it says it's going to be released with the manga? I wonder if we'll be able to see it over here? Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Considering that these lil' beaties (no pun intended) are selling for 1,700 Yen I don't think they'll be too big. The sculpt looks pretty damned good though........and you can't go wrong with Rei in heels ( ). Quote
Yohsho Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 This comes with book 9? cool that means I can get this baby and put it with my Christmas Asuka and Rei. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Cool! Where can I get one!! Vostok 7 Quote
Beware of Blast Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 If that doesn't make me an Eva fan, nothing will! Now all I need are both Rei and Asuka on my table, so I can stare at them looking back at me! Quote
MrDisco Posted November 28, 2003 Author Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) hahaha drool fan boys drool! looks like i'll be ordering this manga to go along with last years christmas rei and asuka. and i cant even read japanese :| someone better alert us when we can preorder it! some bad translations: Original: GAINAX cartoon: Motoyosi line figure compilation: Maki Asai Sale date: 2004 earlier April price: 1,700 Yen Comes with Volume #9, Rei and Entry Plug Seat. Limited edition Edited November 28, 2003 by MrDisco Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 that looks awesome! i'll order one!! Quote
eriku Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 I am getting at least two of those. The Kaiyodo one from a few years back is nice, but this one looks far better. Here's hoping for an Asuka and Shinji and Misato and Pen Pen to go with it. Quote
MrDisco Posted November 28, 2003 Author Posted November 28, 2003 good thing i wasn't tempted to get the last eva all-girl gashapon set (i ony really wanted misato from that release). Quote
gnollman Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) I'd say it's likely the same size as the two Christmas figures released with Vol 7 a couple years ago.... but it does cost 500 yen more, so maybe a bit larger. I'll have to remember to keep an eye out for it in April.... edit: hmm, seems like doublebyte characters not supported.... Edited November 28, 2003 by gnollman Quote
yellowlightman Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Whoever made that should make hardsuits from the original BGC series! Sign me up for truckload of those. If only... The Rei doll looks cool, but Eva isn't my thing. Certainly better than "regular" dolls. But then again, certain people like buying dolls of anime characters. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 where do I get one?!?! me wantee!! Vostok 7 Quote
Aaron Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 where do I get one?!?! me wantee!!Vostok 7 Try here - Tokyo Central They've got them up for preorder for $19.50 Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 has anyone ever ordered from these guys before? hows the service?? Quote
twinmoons Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Dang, that is just sweet! I'm asking our supplier to see if he can get these. Me wants! Quote
eriku Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Got my preorder in. The figure seems to be pretty small (110mm) but since it comes with the manga the price isn't too bad. Can't wait for april! Quote
Blaine23 Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Wow... how cool is that? I must have one. Quote
MrDisco Posted December 3, 2003 Author Posted December 3, 2003 Dang, that is just sweet! I'm asking our supplier to see if he can get these. Me wants! if you get them let us (or me) know..i'll preorder from you Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 That's a pretty small window of opportunity to preorder this item. With such a short window of opportunity, we recommend pre-ordering early. The manufacturer is only producing sets for individuals who pre-order by Dec. 25. This special set will not be widely available in stores, and will be impossible to order after the manufacturer deadline. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Manufacturer deadline: Dec. 25 2003 TokyoCentral deadline: Dec. 19 2003 Release date: April 14 2004(!) Are there any other online retailers that'll carry this item? Quote
Mechamaniac Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Sorry, I just never got the whole Rei / Asuka thing in Evangelion. I like my women old enough to drink, and drink ALOT!, that's why Misato is my fav. Quote
moose Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Twin moons get back to us on this thing or we might have to get it from tokyo central Quote
eriku Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 If Twin Moons ends up offering I'll cancel my preorder with TokyoCentral. I'm sure TC is a great site, but I'd rather support the smaller guys. That and I've ordered from TM before, so I know they have fantastic service. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 I'm pretty sure by the time it's released it'll be all over eBay and Yahoo auctions. Quote
Gunbuster Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Hobbylink has it http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?KDK00760 Akadot has it too. http://www.akadotretail.com/shop/shop_show...p?id=4049007606 I bet planetanime and animenation would carry it too Quote
GDomino Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 Holy schmokes....I wants but I don't wanna get one if tiny Rei is going to be lonely.... A few questions for anyone that may know, were there other figures (this size) released with the previous mangas, seeing as this is limited for vol 9? Also are other figs planned in the future? Quote
MrDisco Posted December 4, 2003 Author Posted December 4, 2003 (edited) yeah i'ld be curious to know what other exclusives in past volumes were released. i have last years christmas set (rei and asuka) and passed on this years edition. going by the prices HLJ has the cheapest though i dont know how much shipping will change all of that. edit - AHHHHHH i can't preorder it at HLJ??? i agree its high time Misato got some love. its always Rei Rei Rei and to a lesser extent Asuka (though I hope an Asuka figure comes out) what sick little fans we are Edited December 4, 2003 by MrDisco Quote
