Finally,my second most anticipated figurine for the first half of 2007 has arrived.And she’s looking pretty good ^^
I was kinda hyped up,so I opened the box while on the MRT, and got some weird stares from the other commuters. Bad move…
Anyway,here are some pictures of the BMX Ayanami Rei figurine. In case you are wondering,this post is no review. In fact, all my posts about figurines are not reviews. I have no plans to review figurines,mainly due to the fact that I am a poor bloke who cannot afford even a digital camera and only uses a 2 megapixel handphone camera. I am even poorer now that I spend my money on figurines,so I don’t expect to get a camera anytime soon. You want figurine reviews, look for tj_han . He’s the man(or the tripeman?!)
Presenting to you… Ayanami Rei on a bike!

Close up of Rei
This is my first figurine of Rei which has her smiling ^^.
Close up of the bike
The bike is really cool. The paddles can be turned. And so can the front wheel,but try not to do so unless you want to risk damaging it.
The base
One thing I like about this figurine is the base. It’s quite unique, somewhat like the Alice’s base , just that Alice’s base is so much more detailed.
The thing that holds the bike to the base
This figurine overall, is pleasing to the eye. Only thing I’m quite worried is if it would warp or bend. Let me pray hard that it will not.
This figurine is definitely getting even if you don’t like Rei. After all,how often do you see figurines with mini-bicycles?
I’m not sure about the price of this at Treasureland, but I got this at Latendo at $49.50. Seems like quite a reasonable price,but if you want,you can head over to CSC to check out if the price there is cheaper.
