For otaku of a certain age, Rei Ayanami holds a special place in our hearts. The image of the First Child in her white plugsuit is as iconic as any in anime, and this figure does do her justice. The one little flaw is that Rei's head is turned farther to the left than it appears in the photos, meaning her face is partially obscured by the Lance of Longinus. Maybe that's just a manufacturing defect in my specific figure, I can't say. Regardless, she looks just like she does in the show; and if your collection is inexplicably missing an Ayanami figure, you could do far worse than to order this one.
