Review: Uplark’s Rei Ayanami with Entry Plug interior…
I just got this baby from HLJ today along with these two beauties from Mandarake…
Incidentally, HobbyLink Japan and Mandarake are now my official go-to places for anime figures. I love the fact that Mandarake carries older “used” items that are exceptionally hard to find. That’s the only way I was able to get my hands on the 400% Synch Ratio Unit-01…
Anyway, on to the review…
Before seeing and ordering this item, I had not seen or heard of the company UpLark. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I will definitely be purchasing products from this company in the future… The sculpt is amazing. I would guesstimate the scale at around 1/12 or 1/15, but regardless, the sculpting and details are perfect… For such a small figure of Rei, I wasn’t expecting this much detail. Also the actual entry plug interior is large and detailed. I love the fact that this can be posed at an incline like it’s depicted in the show. Perfect details, paint application, and perfect sculpting… I can’t think of a single thing that could make this figure better. I would give it a 10/10, and highly recommend any Evangelion or Ayanami fan pick this up right away…
(Sorry for the stock pics, but my wife has our camera down in Honolulu and it’s the best I can do)…
