Joy gave me joyous news today: Rei Ayanami has arrived from the land of the rising sun! After a long long wait she’s finally here! I lost no time and met up with Joy and Lem for lunch and, of course, to pick Rei up. But I didn’t open the box right away. I wanted to document the unboxing. And this morning I finally did.

So what can I say? She’s gorgeous… drop-dead gorgeous. She’s primarily vinyl with some ABS parts. Definitely, designed for mass-production. Molding and paint job is top-notch though. There is no mistaking her for anyone else.
As expected, she’s eminently poseable being equipped with Kaiyodo‘s Revoltech joints. To aid in more life-like poses, she has four spare hands. There’s also a stand for those unstable poses.

Sadly, she only has The Spear of Longinus as an accessory. But then again, if you’re Rei, do you need anything else? Go see the anime if you don’t know what I mean.

All in all she’s great. There are many like her (including Joy’s). But this one is mine and she’s the best :P

Thanks again Joy-joy!

This morning, Joy gave me good… heck… excellent news. She has pre-ordered for me the first of Kaiyodo‘s Fraulein Revoltech Line: Rei Ayanami!!! Pre-orders just started this month and it will actually come out only by January. Still, it’s good to already know she is coming my way. Can hardly wait! Thanks Joy!
