wolfx Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Dude...that's the artbook for Girlfriend of Steele 2 or Iron Maiden 2. And I thought you were talking about Evangelion 2, the PS2 game that the figures were from. Iron Maiden 2 has pretty crappy art IMHO. They weren't illustrated by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and instead look like a collection of doujin drawings. Iron Maiden 1 introduced a new female character whose name I forgot, who was also the pilot for EVA03. Iron Maiden series are pretty much like any dating sim game. I'm not sure how the combat mechanics work in that game, but I think it requires nothing more than making choices: a.) kick the angel b.) use progressive knife c.) run away.

Anubis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) Oh, stupid me then, I thought all this stuff was in the Iron Girlfriend 2nd. How in the bloody hell did I miss another game coming out? Especially one that looks as damned sweet as that. I hope they import it. I'd take either of them though. Learn something new every day.

Anubis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) How about these figures? Anybody getting these? I forgot who got the chinese dress ones. I did. Good figures. Those classroom ones are nice too, but not for me. Most of the new sega figures are pretty good. I didn't like the face sculpts on the ver. 2 school uniform figures, but that's about it. The two school figures that came in my gasaphon 6-pack (you can see 3 from that set in this pic) will suffice for that. Still waiting on my Misato completed statue from Hobbyfan.

The ver. 2 school uniform figures (don't look as good this time IMO) can still be found online, but are going quick. School swimsuit ones are forthcoming as well, as are new beach and plus suit figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Damn you Anubis!!!! now I have to spend more money Seriously sweet Misato figure. As for Rei and Asuka figures I have quite a collection going but even I think they're going a little overkill, the chinese dress figures are very nice but I think after the grimrock and sega plug suit figures my rei and asuka figure collecting will be coming to an end.

Anubis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 (edited) The Misato is a $90 resin statue. I want a good Misato, so I'm willing to cough up some green for her. Especially a pre-painted one (some assembly required). They are in stock now as of Friday, and I'm waiting for my peorder to ship. I'm not sure how long to give them before I politely remind them about my order. Misato is my favorite from Eva, and I've been waiting for a good completed statue of her that I could afford. The China Dress figures I got from NCSX for 67 shipped. Last time I looked they were both still in stock too.

The majaority of Sega's figures are in the size range that I mentioned hovewring around 20cm, occasionally a little bigger. Some are smaller, around 14cm, like the upcoming 3 packs. Since they are sitting, the desk figures are 8 cm high. Not big, but nicely detailed. You definately get your money's worth with the original prices the eva figures go for. Once it goes e-bay only, then you get gouged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbby Serarch has them all listed by default as well, even though thy are of course sold out there as well. They have better pictures too.

Hey Anubis, I went to my local anime store here and I got me Asuka chinese dress one. They didnt have the Rei but it is at the other store so I have it on hold for me. Cost like $24 each. They had 4 sets earlier so I was told. They are going quick. They said they are reordering more... As for the grimlock ones, looks cute but I dunno if I want to get them.

The only real anime store left here, Creature Zone, isn't as resourceful. During my quest I mentioned the new Sega line and he had no idea what I was talking about. Needless to say I don't go there much. G-Sentry was better but they're closing. Edited May 14, 2004 by Anubis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like the Asuka Soryu Langley (Popsicle Ver.) I got my Mizuho Swimsuit PVC from Hpbby Search a couple months ago. They are cheaper than HLJ generally, and it shipped pretty quick. The key is getting to them while the item is in stock. I have started checking there every day or every other day to see what comes out. Their closing acceptance could be nice though, because you can probably rest assured the order you made before that will be filled. They update daily the stuff that comes back in stock. Good site. One of these days I'll give them another try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Just checked Hobby Search, and the Cina Dress Figures are now sold out again! That was quick. They must have only gotten a handful back in stock.

nhyone Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 why? it's eva chicks+cutsie figures = instant sell out. But since it's Evangelion, wouldn't they at least take the popularity into account and have a larger run? I want the seaside set of 3 figures and the school uniform with tables.. but both are sold out! The uniform w/ tables set, it was released in Feburary this year. Wasn't interested in it until the Minmay diorama came out.. then suddenly I had table fetish! I don't know why the seaside set sells for only 1805 yen at Hobby Search. Other places sell double the price! Released in May, sold out in May! Both are still available, but you have to pay much more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
