I had enough CDJapan points, codes and coupons to make acquiring this one internationally worthwhile versus waitingfor the American release.

Evangelion will always hold a special place in my heart even though I no longer really care for the anime- I have seen it so many it times it has lost all meaning although the new movies are revitalizing my interest a bit I must admit. I am especially fond of Asuka, but I am not one to break up a pair if they release corresponding figures of Rei and Asuka.

Even being an Asuka fan, I do have to admit this is a damn fine Rei. Even if there was not a corresponding Asuka figure to this one I probably would have picked it up. Bonus points  for this release too as it is in the same outfit as the Dollfie Dream releases …. must stay on topic.. This figure seems to exude an aura of calm tranquility.

While Kotobukiya is generally considered to be one of the lesser figure companies as in not on par with Alter for example, I feel this was a fairly solid release and would reccommend her to any Rei fans out there.

And no that is not a strange imperfection on her chest it was still slightly drizzling when I took her outside for photos the other day when she arrived.
