Kaiyodo’s official Revoltech Express blog has been preaching the gospel of the brand’s new Fraeulein lineup of action figures for the past few days, introducing a prototype sculpt of Fraeulein #2 Tousaka Rin along with several pictures of Fraeulein #1 Ayanami Rei, including some rather wacky offerings today. Official information on the Ayanami release can be found in this entry, which pegs her at a January 1st, 2008 release at 2,000 yen (first lot limited, subsequent editions will be 2,200 yen). She’s 15 cm tall (~1/10 scale), with 18 points of articulation, 10 “revolver joints”, four alternate hands and the Lance of Longinus included. Apparently Kaiyodo is shooting for Fraeulein releases monthly on the first of each month; an ambitious production schedule, but great news for fans of bishoujo action figures. We’ll be keeping an eye out for preorders. (no more)
the Rin link doesn’t seem to go anywhere- might be something on my end though-
I’m loving these figures!! I wish they made some “generic” figures for people to kit-bash. These are sweet offerings- hopefully we’ll see more in the futurte
^ That’s because the link for Rin goes to “http:///” so it doesn’t go anywhere. The prototype Rin is on the same page as the Rei link so just go there and scroll down.
My bad on the link, it’s fixed now.
:) Kinda looks like Rin’s got cigs in her hands! ^^ Smokin’!
First batch of Rei is going to be limited edition? I hope it isn’t exclusive to some store or anything
[…] Revoltech creator modes. [via] The Revoltech official blog has some fun with interchangeability of the upcoming Fraulein […]
I’ll be following this. Apparently after Rin they have Asuka and a Yamashita Shunya-designed one next.
Rei and Rin? holy mackerel I’m so there. the hidden joints are so slick on this batch.
