A figure rendition of popular artist Shunya Yamashita‘s erotic imagining of Rei Ayanami in a thong plugsuit, already covered in the past by other companies, is this time made by Yamato and set for release in September 2010.
The figure can be pre-ordered now.
TOO BIG!
This figure isn’t actually new, it’s just being put into production again. It looks soooo good~~ I’ve been wanting it ever since I saw it last year, but it was out of stock already by that time~~~ TT__TT
MAYA IBUKI PUHLEAASSEEEE!!!!!
FUDGE! I have the same without the bandages! where are my bandages?!!! ><
What? No comparisons between the two Reis from different companies?
I personally like this one better then the first one. The paint job seems cleaner and it doesn’t have that tacky shininess to it that the other one had. The lack of shiny makes it look more like a plug suit and less like a retro latex space suit. The hair is more detailed/less poofy and I like that it’s a lighter hue, it goes better with the mostly-white design. Plus it makes Rei look more like the ethereal and albino-like, which fits her better then sky blue. The hands look more detailed. The face is “truer” to Yamashita’s style, more rounded then the other. The eyes, in particular, look much better minimalistic; the other one gave Rei spider lashes, which don’t really fit her. Plus, this Rei looks a bit more calmer and stoic.
On the other hand, the first Rei figure did do some things better. Body-wise, the first figure was more accurate to Yamashita’s voluptuous style. This Rei doesn’t look as curvy as the first; her hips, in particular, look less rounded. Considering Yamashita LOVES hips, the lack of large and in charge hips is disappointing.
