I digress. Today’s post is about – bum bum bum! GASHAPON!!!

I don’t usually go crazy over toys, but I really, really like these and they arrived today. In fact – I just finished putting them together about oh, maybe thirty minutes ago?

The Figures:

Above, you see from left to right: Kisaragi Honey (from re:Cutie Honey), Misato, Rei and Asuka (All from Evangelion) And I picked up all of them from Mugentoys.com

Now then. Let’s talk about them!

Kisaragi Honey:

re:Cutie Honey was ironically the first Cutie Honey series I watched. I missed out on all the references, I’m sure. But it was one mini series I adored to bits and pieces (which is odd for me considering there was like one male cast member…very odd for me.).

So, when I saw this figure of Honey I had to have it.  Especially when the pose comes from the incredible opening:

Rei & Asuka:

Rei & Asuka from Evangelion are a new one for me. Normally my brother’s the one collecting figures of these two. But – I finally found a set I thought was adorable.

There’s not much more to it than that for this one – I love winter gear and they’re cute.

Misato:

However – the piece de’ resistance had to be this figure of Katsuragi Misato. Misato has always been my favorite character from Evangelion and I have been looking everywhere for a figure that really grabbed me. This one – it grabbed me.

Let’s face it – this figure is sexy. I love everything about it from the pose (the foot on the footstool? Love.) to her jacket hanging off her arm. And she looks amazing next to my laptop on the desk.

Or even on the computer! She looks amazing everywhere~

AHH!!! Oh no! Rodimus Prime is jealous that he’s no longer the favorite figurine! Whatever will I do!?

Oh wait! I know:

There we go. Now Rodimus is happy because he’s got a pretty lady on his arm. She’s way better than that Arcee girl.

And just for fun, here’s a couple pics of the other Anime/Manga figures I have hanging out on my desk:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this brief waste of your time. Thank-you.
