 June 2003 - A Previews Exclusive! Imported from Japan. It's Neon Genesis Evangelion history in the making. This series was manufactured by Kaiyodo (creators of the Evangelion, Fist of the North Star, Votoms, and Powered Suit lines), and were originally released in Japan as Gashapon/capsule toys - now being offered to the US market as pre-assembled micro figures - some with variant parts!
This first series is dubbed "Angel Attack" and includes: - Sachiel Double Head Type - about 3.5 inches tall, articulated, and with a base and an accessory: an EVA 01 wounded head (used to recreate Sachiel driving a spike through the skull of an EVA Unit-01 figure)
- Sachiel Normal figure (3.5 inches tall) has a base and an accessory: an extra variant arm holding a Unit-01 head in its hand.
Also in this series is the four-inch tall Rei Ayanami Normal and four-inch Rei Ayanami Bandaged figures with bases, EVA Unit-01 with Pallet Gun (includes extra arm, ammy magazine, and base), and EVA Unit-01 with Progressive Knife (includes Nerv VTOL ship with base), both with removable power plug and cords, which are real wires for added posability.
EVA and Sachiel figures are sculpted by Katsuhisa Yamaguchi, sculptor of the full-sized EVAs, GaoGaiGar, and more. And the Rei figures are sculpted by Kuniaki Teraoka - sculptor of the full-size Rei and Asuka figures.
Quality and articulation never-before-seen on a shokugan (small figure) scale!
Scheduled to ship in September 2003, with a suggested retail of $3.99 USD for each figure. (Note: this item is sold to retailers as a display. Please check with your retailer for availability.)
