Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance 1/6 Shinji Ikari by Medicom Toy
Rounding off their triple-EVA-releases to come [tagged] Medicom Toy shows a 1/6th-scaled (30cm tall) SHINJI IKARI in his Plug-Suit - from (Evangelion: 2.0) YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE [www] - the "sequel" to Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone [wiki / CLICK THRU to read more about EVA: 2.0]
Priced at 17,640YEN (US$196 / SGD$297) with a August-2009 release, the figure features a ABS "Skinny Body" to give the boy a super-slender body-form to suit the animation-design. Seriously tho, I'd wish folks could release articulated loose-bodyforms as skinny as these tho - would be great for kitbashing options, IMHO.
