Following in the smoking hot footprints of its eight predecessors comes the new Neon Genesis Evangelion Kubrick Box Set I, and it is available through Diamond Comic Distributors.

The popularity and success of Neon Genesis Evangelion is immense. An acclaimed science-fiction anime property, it enjoys an ever-growing fan-base that snaps up videos, DVDs, manga, T-shirts, statues, posters, calendars, and action figures. Past Kubrick building-block style figures from the show have sold extremely well, and the fervent fans will not want to miss out on the chance to show their support and add to their collection with Medicom's latest Kubrick offerings.

Imported from Japan, Set I features The 12th Angel Leliel, the bizarre antagonist from episode sixteen that ends up engulfing EVA-01 inside its structure. The Leliel Kubrick can be opened up and EVA-01 can be placed inside! Also featured in this box set are Kaji Ryoji, NERVs resident lady's man and all-around rogue, and "Bloody Awakening" EVA Unit-01, which shows the EVA unit's organic form after it goes berserk upon destroying EVA-03, stripping off its own purple armor! All three figures come packaged in a fifth-panel window box, and include connecting display bases with a full color backdrop scene. They are scheduled to ship in July 2002.
