What's Your Obsession

Definitely one of the nicer looking Asuka statues of the last few years, if you want an anime accurate version, this one fits the bill. Available for preorder at Hobby Search for $80. For the size (slightly under 11 inches) I would’ve expected closer to $100 with the yen being so high lately!

The follow-up to the popular Rei Ayanami statue, here’s Yamato’s Asuka by Shunya Yamashita! The Rei is still one of my favourite lady statues to date so this Asuka had a lot to live up to.

For those not familiar with Figma figures, they’re comparable to Revoltech. They’re small, ultra posable, and have noticable joints. They’re not like statues in that sense, but I can see a super posable Asuka with the fantastic looking accessory (and a cheaper price) drawing some buyers away from the statues. Not up for preorder yet, [...]

Didn’t I just show shots of the unpainted version of this a week or two ago? After Alter released their images, seems Kotobukiya didn’t want to let that slide and knocked these out.

The floodgates are still open with Evangelion merchandise, with Alter releasing an Asuka test suit statue into the torrent. This one comes in at a little under ten inches, and you’re looking at a MSRP of just under $80 at most import stores. I’m really enjoying the detail and the base on this one, it [...]

Since Asuka and Rei both have hundreds of statues of every possible variant of their suits, as well as plenty of costumes that don’t exist in the series, it’s no surprise that companies would jump at the chance to make new statues of their new official costumes. Kotobukiya just sneaked two images of their 1/6th [...]

As with all Medicom announcements, you can expect these to be really expensive. Their Evangelion Real Action Heroes figures do look rather nice though, I’d go so far as to say it’s their most consistent line in the RAH field.

Judging by the amount of hits my Shunya Rei statue review received, lots of people must have been waiting to see this one painted up. The sculptor just released these images on his blog and it’s looking gorgeous. No pricing details yet, but you can expect a similar price to the Rei statue. This is [...]

I recently reviewed the Rei in this line and it’s one of my favourite statues, super happy to hear they’re coming out with an Asuka companion piece. You can see the art they’re basing this off of in the picture. I think the face could use a little bit of work to make it give [...]

A few days ago I showed off a recast Buffy Premium Format statue. The guys involved were taking statues, stripping them nude, giving them humongous breasts, then adding on really dumb looking optional clothing so they can still sell them on Ebay. I’m against recasting, after all, there’s a Recast Alert section on the site. [...]
