Earlier on the the year I purchased Asuka Langley. When she arrived I was blown away with the detail of the figure! It surprised me because I had her next to a version of a matching
Rei figure, I now believe is a bootleg. That then prompted me to buy a new version of Rei which I reviewed in my last blog.
So, onto Asuka.
|
What you get in the box. |
When she arrives and you get her out of the box, check in the back of the box (between the blue background and the outer box.) I had this figure for months before realizing she comes with a bonus card with artwork from Shunya Yamashita on it! Lucky I keep my boxes!
|
She has tons of little details on her redesigned plugsuit. |
Asuka stands 25-26cm tall and is 1/6 scale. She was released after
Rei Version 2 by
Yamato, so you can still find her on sale from stores, and isn't as expensive as Rei at the moment to pick up on Ebay. Sculpted by the talented Mitsumasa Yoshizawa.
|
Lots of sexy, shiny red! |
She's very well painted, I don't think there's even one spot out of place! Her eyes are nice, and has no derp happening. She has a cute smile, and looks carefree! I think they've done a good job of keeping the personalities of the original characters with Asuka and Rei.
|
Her lips have a nice little touch of shine! |
Let's look at her from all angles:
|
Asuka has high heals on! |
|
Swimsuit style plugsuit redesign, different to Rei's very short dress plugsuit. |
|
Long legs! |
|
Her hair is really nicely done. Almost looks like she's doing a bit of a spin! |
|
Nice detail on the top of the stockings where they sit tight on the skin. |
From all the different angles, I think shes a bit more interesting than Rei, I think just with the sidewards pose.
With all her fire engine red, she certainly stands out too!
|
Nice hair details! Also, bum :3 |
|
Cheeky! |
She has a nicely sculpted bum. Realistic looking enough. Not too big, or too small.
|
A few more shots, just because! :D |
|
So photogenic, just like Rei! |
Sometimes I feel like the pose is a bit awkward, I think it's her leg that's lifted. But really this is a pretty minor thing.
I saw another review of her that said she was difficult to display due to the pose, but I've had no problems. She isn't designed to be displayed front on. I usually have her at a slight angle. And she looks so cool, especially next to Rei! (I'll do a separate blog for photos of the figures together.) EDIT:
More photos here.
If you're a fan of Shunya Yamashita and Evangelion, you're sure to love this figure! I can't rate this figure high enough! I love her!
