Not just a Rei, TEH Rei Anonymous
I couldn't decide whether to get this Rei or the true-color (not translucent see-everything) one, but I ended up getting the true color so I don't have to hide her when my parents visit.

Yes, she cost 300 bucks. It was worth it.

No, a hand-crafted 50cm (20") figurine so detailed you can see her fingernail cuticles.

Be sure to post something to http://www.rei-ayanami.com/ ; there may be folks who'd be interested in that, too.

Anyway, cool figurine! If I had that kind of cash lying around, I'd go for it :)

My only gripe is the hair looks to big; I always thought it was a little less 'poofy'

While this sounds dumb, almost looks like a wild, blue, jungle afro.

All that money for some weeaboo shit and you didn't even get the naked version because you're afraid of mommy and daddy? FAIL.

If he was gay, he would have tried to get this of Kaworu or something. I would think going for a Rei would be blatantly heterosexual.

I don't really care for Eva, and don't have much love lost for either Rei or Asuka. Still, I couldn't help picking this up when I saw it at my local Hastings. (the figure this illustration is of, mind you, not the pic)

I also snagged this on eBay. Again, don't really care for Eva, but this is just a neat model. Although, I'm going to paint it differently. Mine will be brunette or have purple hair or something and I'll have to work up a color scheme for the plug suit. I'm thinking green or purple.

Uh, guys? You're not actually cool until you can be an otaku dork and not care. I happen to think this is one of the most beautiful things (Read: Not people) I've ever seen and being popular isn't going to change that or make me change who I am. :>
Everyone who's called me a dork is probably just covering their own insecurities. =X

You got the true color because of your PARENTS? You live on your own, right? You must be an adult. An adult male. An adult male who at least on some occasions has sex and thus has an interest in sex. This is a normal human interest. So what would be the problem with having a nude statue in your room?
>> Anonymous
Christ... I'd say you could have done better elsewhere with the money, but in all honesty - you could *always* do something better with money.

I'd love to get the non-transparent version (preference, just looks better IMO) but... $300? Ouch..

OP wins for taking pride in his hobby.

You should have gotten the transparent one. It looks better, though I don't like boobs showing on my figures. The hair and leggings are what look the best.

Even though I would never waste my money to buy a figurine of any kind, I must say that's one well crafted figure.

When you buy a figure, you cross a border of certain state of otakuness that you can't never undo. Expect if you sell figures away and repent well what you have done. If you have bought a figure then you should know that's when you are too into anime.

Having said all that, I guess my point is that I plan on fighting keenly against those allurations but still quietly respecting you for buying that item.

What if you work with 3D modelling, and having figures of various sizes makes great reference?

Not talking about the $300 fig, but figures in general.
>> Anonymous
>>184363

Ah, I didn't really specify. If you buy anime-figures because of your work, I think it might do as an good excuse... The real question is whether you are interested about them because of your work or because they fill your anime needs.

It's an expensive, space-consuming, "normal people" scaring hobby =_= I can't count the number of times I've been on the receiving end of looks of morbid fascination for scrutinising the bare backside of some indecent fig w/ merry abandon. Even fellow otakus judge me for peering up some broad's PVC skirt because I'm female (I should be buying shoujo goo), do not look like the archetypical Fat/Nerdy/Ugly Female Otaku (Bonus Yaoi Fantard Uber Repellent Option) and thus should have no problem getting a Saturday night date that is not 2D / 1/8 scale wtf why is she peering at Witchblade instead of the Togainu no Chi (yaoi game) figs. The Togainu figs suck btw because they are a pointlessly tiny 1/10 scale. And male figs suck in general, because majority anifig buyers are males whose interests understandably lie in pretty girl figs. There's not one mass made Alucard fig. The closest is an Alucard bust so that's like, half an Alucard. Whyyyy T__T
And you don't happen to have pix like that one for the other two versions, do you? O_O

Besides abovementioned (excessive) odd stares, she'd look a bit out of place. =X

It's usually the other way around for me. People label me automatically as an otaku because of my looks. Although I think I have pretty much a normal life, aside from my interests.

About the pictures, I found this website http://reshizou22.kir.jp/gallery/g02/01.html

I remember saving that other collection of pictures because I wanted to try drawing Rei that looks like that.

Thank you for linky. :3

And I have no idea what an otaku is -supposed- to look like, but I know that right now, wearing my Naruto shirt and looking like a not-yet-showered pale corpse with a bad hair day, I'm probably pretty close. =x

I have a couple of figurines and anything finely crafted is going to be way more than $35. It's your cash and your hobby. I have a cousin who is a well paid salesman and likes Lord of The Rings
to where he spends many bucks for the limited edition statues.

I have a perfectly normal social life, plus I am an anime nerd.
I would so buy this if I could afford to spend $300 on this Rei.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. If it's worth $300 to you.. it's a free country. Personally I wouldn't throw down $300 for a doll, but that's just me. You may not throw down $300 for a tattoo, but I did.

Just different strokes for different folks.

Now, if you had paid $7,000 for a pair of sunglasses Steve McQueen used to own.. that'd be a different story. You know what they say about a fool and his money. :)

Hey is there an american manufacturer I can buy that figure from.

All you guys take this figure stuff too seriously.

I don't mean you spend too much money on it, or that you think too highly of them... but rather, y'all are acting like buying a figure precludes you from being another person in society. Give me a break. If you can't get laid "because you have figures in your room" you need to realize that it's not the figures that are preventing you from having sexual realtions. Everyone has hobbies and interests, wether you have a big ass Raiders flag in your room or a big ass rei ayanami, it's *you* as a person that is going to make friends, meet potential partners, interact with everone outside your room. It's you, not your Rei figure. If you have are half way compatable with a girl (or guy) they aren't going to care about your Rei figure when they finally comes over. Just relax and realize people are people, everyone has things they are insecure about in the face of others, and everyone likes their interests to be met with a level of respect. Most will gladly return the favor. This of course assumes you're out of highschool, living in reality land. If not, well... good luck with that.
