Ayanami Rei‘s left breast has fetched ¥403,000 at auction, probably some sort of record.
The item in question is an original Shinseiki Evangelion movie cell featuring the heroine’s naked torso, a desirable item indeed for Rei fans.
Topically, Rei only narrowly beat a recent fully clothed Nagato at ¥356,000, and of course Fate Testarossa managed ¥532,000, possibly a sign of the times.
Rei fans can take solace in the speculative conclusion that were her other breast in frame she might have gone for twice as much, soundly beating the upstarts.

Does someone remember from where the cell can be ? - a psycho sequence maybe or Rei floating inside a tube sequence or 3th impact ... ?? or "I'm not your doll" sequence ?
Here's a question. How does one identify fake cels? I feel like purchasing a number of them for decorative purposes.
There's one Cel on Y!AJ of Rei's BOTH BREASTS going for 800,000 yen.

(^o^)
I've seen a cel of Rei smiling go for well over 500.000 yen on Yahoo Japan a few months ago, so this isn't even close to being a record for Evangelion cels. Some cels from Ghibli anime like Totoro or Nausicaa have been known to fetch over 1.500.000 yen ($17.000). I have a small anime cel collection myself, but most of the cels I own were in the $50 to $100 range. The most i've personally paid for an anime cel is 90.000 yen (about $1000) for a particularly nice Ruri Hoshino cel.
I would rather buy Asuka's breats pre fap scene.
There was a nice cel of Rei Ayanami smiling that went for over 500.000 yen on Yahoo Japan a few months ago, so this is nowhere near record territory.
Still considerably more than i'd ever pay for any cel, of course. The most i've paid for a cel thusfar is $1000 for a particularly nice cel of Ruri Hoshino from the Nadesico anime.
Rei is all powerful.
Tell me when they sell Asuka's breasts, then I will be interested :)
What's next...Shinji's semen?
A big reason why this cel went for so much is because Evangelion cels are not readily available to the public. They were never released outside of certain special giveaways, and so they're extremely rare. Any Evangelion cel that shows an identifiable scene is going to be worth a lot. A fully clothed Rei Ayaname would likely go for as much, probably more if it showed her whole body.
If it was an official loli version of Rei Ayanami cell frame, it would be thrice the price...
I take offense to the Fate hate. Nanoha'll starlight breaker anyone that messes with her Fate-chan.

hundred thousands of yen just for this?
Man, Type A Otakus are srs business...
I'm SO marrying that cell in Guam's Church!
that's ridiculous - I mean Rei's breasts are nice and all... but that kind of money for one frame?!
...and what about 2 million yen for Asuka changing?
http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/127673047
True, but there's no way that's ever going to sell at that price. That particular cel's been sitting there for over half a year. The seller's probably hoping that some sucker with more money than sense bids on it. I don't think even the most fanatical Evangelion fan would be prepared to pay that kind of money. It's a good cel, but it's probably only worth about 375.000 yen tops.
...but unfortunately there are not much Asuka fanservice scenes in NGE :(
If it would be the scene where Asuka is sitting naked in the bathtub or from the beginning of the movie EOE after Shinji's "assault" - they would maybe sell for such prices :)
I wouldn't think that they would sell in Japan Rei cell with both breasts ad nipples for 8,800 USD and Asuka for 22,000 USD. I thought that Rei is much more popular in Japan. They place mostly Rei on products and she seems to be a perfect wife otakus would want.
Cannot... comprehend... obsession...
*blows up*
Good, less competition for the cell.
For Rei I would spend that money easy. She was my first anime crush like 9-10 years ago.
For but a few grand more, Gainax could animate a short vignette of YOU, fondling Rei's breasts!
They'll save money on seiyuu fees by not having her react in any way!
The Rebuild of Evangelion: They Can (not) Refuse to Fap thats why :D
Can we get a discount on the right breast?
And what if it's fake? Can there even be an indisputable proof? Have they done molecular analysis or something?
he doesn't care...reason is to show off how rich he is, or to measure his otakuism. most likely.
This is an otaku we're talking about. It's probably he is just THAT obsessed with Rei. Here's hoping he didn't have to make any...*ahem*.."special loans"to get it.
Probably a certificate of authenticity or something. But what if THAT was faked?? :o
If the item was faked then the buyer was FUCKED
Well why not? If he's got THIS much money to spend on crap, the Japanese babes will be hanging around his neck even if he doesn't want them to.
...he only has to exit his room at least once for that.
That buyer was fucked the moment he got $4,500 and watched the eva movie
More or less, the same spent as having a 3D girlfriend.
A guy like that probably will never get "fucked"
That buyer was fucked up already at the moment he agreed to pay this much for something like that.
Still, this is Rei's left breast! A left breast!
You can't make up shit like that.
To tell ya the truth, I don't even think It would be but so hard to fake...(the certificate I mean)
That isn't a fake, if you want to see a fake ayanami breast buy a mogudan doujin.
The trick to make it seem real, is not to overdo it. Like showing her entire body. If just one breast is shown, or both visible trough what was supposed to be steam then it will automatically seem real.
"breat"?
lol updated
grammar nazi win
Yeah, wut?
Don't you know? "Breast" is actually the wrong spelling of the word. You guys should really pay more attention in English class...
Man you could pay bunch of prostitutes to cosplay a dozen Rei's and have yourself a nice Rei orgy for that kind of money. Could even have thrown in an Asuka or two.
@Anon 20:43:
Yeah, look at the numbers:
As of today, 403,000 Yen is US$4462.20.
That's more than 2/3 of a $6,000.00 RealDoll (3-D INanimate) [I just checked RealDoll's site; they've now got elf-ear options and she-male options, for those of you who swing that way].
Or, twenty-nine $150.00 hookers (3-D animate),
or, forty-four $100.00 hookers (3-D animate),
or, eighty-nine $50.00 hookers (3-D animate).
The film-clip thing just isn't cost effective. Why not get a RealDoll and dress her up like Rei?
You can't resell any of those things.
A she-male elven RealDoll? No shit? o_0
You don't want to go half-assed on a purchase like that.
Get a shemale, elf-eared realdoll, that's inspired by an anime character.
Remember, it's not gay if it's an elf.

I'd rather have a naked Rei cell than a bunch of 3D whores.
Just goes to show the vast superiority of 2D.
damn... just one nipple and it cost $4500
Strangely enough, i've hear worse.
"probably some sort of record."
Journalism!
It is either that or make up or research some sort of carefully qualified record - REI'S LEFT BREAST MOST EXPENSIVE IN ANIME HISTORY. The likelihood of that statement being incorrect is very low - how many auctions have there been for her left breast alone?
If this is the original, does that mean Gainax can't rescan the movie anymore if they need to for a re-remaster?
Seeing how this is the show that kick started Gainax's road toward one of the major player in the industry. I'd imagin the cel it self is probably a high value collector's item. Sort of like collecting the cel frams used in some of the earliest Disney animated films.
I wish I was rich enough to afford this, until then large scale figures will have to do.
Rei or Nagato
Go!
Personally I always aim for the harem ending, but that's just me.
We all know who the original is.
This is a cell, right? not the cell of the film movie?
