Revoltech > Fraulein No.001 Rei Ayanami Action Figure Truly, anime-zing figure! Rei Ayanami is a withdrawn and sometimes cold woman, but she’s destined to become one of the hottest figures available anywhere. From the hit series Neon Genesis Evangelion, this extremely desirable 6-inch tall collectible not only looks incredible, but has more articulation than ever before. Sculpted by the brilliant Enoki Tomohide using an innovative joint/body system known as ‘E.L.F.,’ the astonishing release demonstrates a wide variety of realistic poses unlike any other PVC action figure. With the Lance of Longinus, 2 sets of extra hands, and a display base, this remarkable Rei has everything she needs to pilot her Unit 00 to adventure or simply look fantastic on your desk. You know you want her. Take her now!
Customer Review: Sophisticated design is excellent for first kind of this line
I’m personally quite impressed with the overall design of this figure.
Her range of flexibility is really quite impressive; the only thing I can’t really get her to do is sit like she’s on a chair. What particularly impresses me is the design of the knee and elbow joints. It’s really quite clever. The thigh has a small dent in it, as does the calf; these dents fit into each other to maximize flexibility while preserving a fairly naturalistic silhouette. The elbows follow a similar design. This results in knees that bend fairly naturally, which is more than Figma can say with their downright creepy pointy knees.
The paint job’s quite nice too, especially in the hair. They lightly airbrushed the higher parts of her hair, so it gives the impression of highlights without looking artificial or overdone. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to photograph very well… The rest of the paint is still good, though there are a couple of places (namely the thigh stripes) that have a very slightly ragged look. Still, it’s a very slight problem, and you have to look quite closely to notice them.
There are still a couple flaws, though some of it I have to attribute to her being the first of Revoltech’s Fraulein line. The most noticeable problem is that her arms pop off their shoulder joints fairly easily, a problem that I’ve heard doesn’t exist on Revoltech’s other figures. Luckily, it pops back on just as quickly, so as long as you don’t loose the arm the figure is still fine.
The lance has a very nifty metallic red finish, which much like her hair I have to presume just doesn’t photograph well. The lance is made of a different plastic than the hard PVC Rei herself is, though, so it feels a wee bit flimsy. I suppose they wanted to make sure it was light enough for her to hold over her head without her arms sagging, but I’m wondering if maybe they overcompensated…
The last thing, though, is the stand. The stand she comes with is NOT the stand they show in the photographs! The real stand is much simpler, and is, in my opinion, rather crappy. It looks like it’s meant to hold her suspended, but the joins in the stand are far from strong enough to manage it. If you want her in an action pose, you have to make sure she has at least one extremity propped against the stand itself to keep it positioned. Also, there’s a little plastic piece that wraps around Rei’s waist and then attaches to the stand. This piece slides off quite easily, which, once again, makes the stand pretty much useless.
I really like the figure herself, despite the way the arms occasionally pop off and some very minor paint job issues. The main drawback is the stand, which, fortunately, you don’t really need–If you’re clever about it, you can quite easily get her to stand on her own!
Customer Review: fantastic
This figure is amazing, if your a fan of evangelion then you have to get it. Its by revoltech and if you own any other revoltech figures you”ll know how the jonts work, and if you don’t get it and find out.
Articulation:
The joints are hidden inside the body which has a fantastic sculpt. four joints are standard articulation she has 18 points over all, but the revoltech joint has about 2 points in it, which would make about 28 useable articulation points. I should say I am a little concernd with her elbow articulation but this type of joint has always had me worried but it doesn’t look like its going to pop off any time soon.
Paint:
Her hair paint is a little to blue but looks good. Her face is terrific, the nose is a little shorter from the side then it should be but it looks fine. The rest of the paint looks good and the lines are clean but there was a little piant mess on her leg and upper arm
Accessories:
Rei comes with three sets of hands (open palm, holding hand’s, and closed(not fisted)hands.) she also comes with the lance of longinus and a stand
Overall I think this figure is realy good and will be the best figure you own if you can overlook the paint mess and is well worth the $[...](with Tax) price tag but if you can find her for $[...] at your local comic book shop get her, But if you can’t get her anyway. The figure is great and I can’t wait to get asuka in April.
