For Christmas, the mighty Cholma gave me the gift of underage teenage girls!  I am required by law to state upfront that I absolutely do not harbor any kind of perverse sexual lust towards Asuka Langley ShiftingLastName.  None whatsoever.  I am pretty sure that would be a crime, and I am a law-abiding citizen who lives by a strict moral code.

My gift from Cholma also included Rei, who is your albino mom if your mom had a concussion or something.  Her schtick, other than being your sexy mom, is that she can be bandaged up if you want her to be.  I'm sure this is checking off somebody's list of fetishes, but it ain't mine.

And there's the new girl, Mari.  If you know me, you know I appreciate that she has glasses, but she's entirely way too into you and how you smell, nor does she hit you or call you stupid, and so I know ahead of time that this relationship just isn't going to be screwed up enough for me to be interested in it.

I don't want anyone to come away from these paragraphs with the impression that I don't absolutely adore Neon Genesis Evangelion, because I do.  I just like to tell myself that I have a healthy attitude towards my love of it.  If you can't love something despite all its creepy faults, did you ever really love it to begin with?

Anyway, these are Revoltech folks.  They're hyper-articulated!  And they come with like fifteen billion different hands and a handful of other accessories.  They also come with some variant faces, like Mari's awesome "I AM SO CRAZY" face and Rei's "I seriously get bandaged up a lot like all the time" face.  One of the best parts about these sets is that they come with a little translucent box to store their numerous accessories.  This is not only amazingly appreciated, but it also gives you a bunch of boxes with occasional little girl faces.  Just, you know, staring at you.  Disembodied.  I swear, any more of these little faces and my Ego might be destroyed and I might bring upon Third Impact.

Thankfully, I've got Ego to spare.

P.S. Don't be an asshole and talk about the last part of the movie series which hasn't come over to North America yet.
