NCS is fairly certain that Evangelion will still be around in some form or other in the year 2028. That's right, two decades from now, EVA will still haunt Japan. Gainax knows they have a treasure trove on their hands and they'll remix it, reissue it, retell it, and make sure fans relish each and every iteration of Evangelion that's in the cards.In the meantime, assorted toy manufacturers continue to license Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley for toy sculptures. The latest one hails from Kurushima which features the girls in colorful Yukatas (summer kimonos). Rei's kimono is accented with blue flowers to match her hair and Ms. Langley's pink obi and red accents sort of match her orange tresses. The figures measure 20cm tall and the production is limited to 1000 sets only.
Preorders are welcome to ship in late August 2008 at JPY29,400 or US$329.90 per set from NCS.
