Ronery fans of hugely popular Evangelion heroine Ayanami Rei appear to have been snaffling up an unusual life-size figure version of her, despite its ¥430,000 price tag, and the fact that it has to be made to order.
The figure itself is a 1:1 rendition of Rei, constructed out of FRP (fibre reinforced plastic) – it is 160cm tall and weighs 6kg. Manufacture took a month per item, it is said.
For some reason an Eva DVD box set is included with the product as an extra.
Strangely, these meagre images of this premium product are all that is provided.
And it does not appear possible to have sex with the figure at all.
What is even more puzzling is how a “completely made to order” figure “sells out”…

how much effort would it take though aye? i suppose it'll b easier to put in finer details but still o.O
Mmmmmmmmmm! A Gigai! Now what it needs next is an artificial soul, or robotics to make it mooove.
Don't worry
My research on artificial life is going to complete soon
MUAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Not if mine is completed first!!!
As a hardcore eva fan I definitely see the appeal in a life-sized Rei, but the craftsmanship on this doesn't seem to justify the $5000 price tag.
I know. But I just hate it So much when they force an otaku to go broke.
Agreed on teh detail.If something's this big it should be more than just a scaled-up gashapon, really.
It's the otaku's fault for buying less than premium standard goods.
It's a good thing that the stereotypical otaku would never have to go through explaining a life-sized blue-haired girl statue to any potential girlfriends he brought home.
It'd be nice if there was a comparison in the shot. How does this Rei compare with other life-size figures in terms of price? I wouldn't be surprised if it's more just because it's Rei.
the fact its full size is appealing but it seems too lack quality(detail) for an item that size... or maybe that's just cause there are few pics to look at...
Thigh fuck possible
Her hands might look like they work and you can also use the armpit. It's almost a given that some pervert is gonna post pics of this thing with jizz on her face.
I think you mean hot glue, right?
Well I'm sure you could sniff it if you really wanted too... but I think I'd pass.
Oh im sure many otakus and perverts could find out how to have sex with it :D
you didnt see the post above yours did you...
6kg for a life size? it's very light!
"What is even more puzzling is how a “completely made to order” figure “sells out”…"
probably the materials that needed for the figure has limited stock or maybe they have a schedule of taking in pre-orders...
Shit I would have sex with that.
how tall would she be in feet?
About 5'2"
Hehe, how about learning the metric system?
Then you can even get the clue when a girl tells you that she's 90-60-90 ^^
As expensive as it is. I feel that bad things are going to be done to that.
What are dutch wife's manufacturers thinking? If they manufacture a dutch wife of Rei for Japan, with good enough quality, they can become the second reachest company in teh world, after teh microsoft
must have.. ...
wish they made in a moreerotic pose than just standing.... most of the details in it are not satisfactory for it to be 5000K smackers i think its worth about 1200K only WAHAHHAA...
Dutch Wife? I'd rather shove an ITX form-factor motherboard and use her as my next PC ^_^;
(Guess where the USB slots are...)
Sorry, but that place is reserved for the power cord. ^_^
I could have sworn I saw one of these in front of a shop in Akiba in 2005. I thought I took a picture of it too but I can't find it. :- (
*shakes head* I'll happily pass on this one. Life sized is just too creepy.
Now that seems like a worthy purchase. Not that I'd spend that much on it, but if I could, I would.
I really hate being 6'4".
I know what you mean. i'm 6'6"
Errr...
A bit too much for a very outdated character such as Rei Ayanami.
Though if you're a hardcore Rei or Evangelion fan, go ahead and knock yourself out.
I'm fine with 1/5 scale and anything smaller.
A bit too much for a very outdated character such as Rei Ayanami.
you do know theres an eva movie coming out right?
I prefer the 1/1 Rei by Paper Moon.
Also, is cheaper.

I'm a pretty big Rei fan, but I can't see buying that, even if I had the cash.
If I'm gonna fork out 5 grand for a life size Rei, it needs to not only be pose-able (no ball joints please, yuck), but it needs to be anatomically functional as well.
I refuse to pay that kind of cash for a giant hollow plastic statue.
Aye, too expensive for a fixed pose doll (biggest one I ever have is the 1/2.5 Asuka by Aizu), then again, in the mind of the ultimate Otaku fanism, it's the difference between the have and have not; price is just details.
Here is a comparison shot in my website
