Figure Review: Mermaid Rei - It’s Amazing how Rei Makes Even Poor Quality Hot.
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...This Mermaid Rei is the July issue of a monthly series of SEGA Eva figurine sets. The series features Asuka and Rei (sometimes Misato) in a large variety of costumes. In other words, it’s completely "out of character" and panders to the legions of fanboys out there.
For the measely price of 1500 yen, you can have a larger-than-1/8 scale figurine with unique and beautiful designs! How is that possible?
Simply put, the quality on a micro level is poor. But considering these costs twice the price of a single trading figure, we can give some leeway.
But when viewed from a decent distance, this Mermaid Rei looks mighty fine. Mermaids are hot because they wear bikinis. Mermaids are also hot because they have flashy tails. And Rei is possibly the hottest feminine artistic creation ever, alongside other heroines like Nagato Yuki and Sawachika Eri. So Mermaid + Rei = Win. In fact, anything + Rei = win.
So I took Rei out to the local waterspots around my area, namely the fountain and the pool.
The base is very nice. It’s like a stack (in geographical terms I think) but with the added bonus of some marine life! Perched on top of it, Rei looks so graceful. This base is actually solid and very stable. It’s an outstanding platform through which this figurine’s aesthetics are heightened.
Turtle power. Cowabunga!
With the most minimum of clothing, namely a white stylish strapless bikini and erm a tail, Rei shows a lot of skin. These do not have the best of both molding and painting. On top of that, the rather sickening glossy finish is like a permanant sheen of oil. The metallic choker is a nice addition though.
Here you can see in detail the poor aspects of Mermaid Rei. There are lots of flash (excess plastic) and seam lines abound. Her hair isn’t very sharp too.
Her facial expression is still Rei-ish. The face is ok, I have no issues with it.
Ok this is the best part. What is great about this figurine are the shoulders and back. Slim, petite and sexy!
With defined shoulder blades, slender arms and a skimpy thong, this is about the only figurine I pose with her back facing me. The long tails of her bikini are somewhat seductive as well.
Instead of nekomimi, Rei has Seashellmimi.
Rei is holding onto a shell, which looks a bit like a Mermaid musical instrument of sorts.
Check out the titties! Not cool! Plastic cleavage!
And Rei and I headed for the swimming pool.
"When can I go back to the sea", Rei asks. "The sea’s black here in Singapore." I said.
"Ok then I’ll stay here forever with you."
I sound like Satou from the NHK.
Mermaids should be wet.
I rate this figurine highly in the cost to aesthetics ratio. For almost about the price, Yujin’s crappy SR DX are teh suck!! But this SEGA series of Rei is a must collect for Eva fanboys. On the horizon are Yukata Rei (shipped already), Motorbike Rei, Warrior Rei, Police Rei, Sweet Witch Rei and many more!! Be sure to collect them all. Btw Asuka sucks.

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.

Rei is teh suck. Lol. just kidding. I can’t believe you bought her though. Mermaids are chessy.
Rei >> Asuka
Asuka is too aggressive and whiny.
But the real question is: When will Gainax stop making any more EVA merchandise?!?
>> “Rei is possibly the hottest feminine artistic creation ever…”
agree.
>> “So Mermaid + Rei = Win. In fact, anything + Rei = win.”
agree. agree.
Omg~ I’m shocked. Anwyay, REI FTW! Now I gotta go check out my stuffs I just got.
When will Gainax stop making any more EVA merchandise?!?
When it stops selling, and not a minute before.
I feel compelled to explain something. Gainax is not the one making the figurines and merchandise. People (figurine companies etc) notice a demand, apply for a license from Gainax and make the products. Why would Gainax say no to free money?
Rei is holding onto a shell, which looks a bit like a Mermaid musical instrument of sorts.
I think Rei’s holding onto a kind of ocarina instead of a shell
I’ll give you Nagato Yuki, but Rei never struck me as much more interesting than a realdoll.
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’
Full time to floatin’
Under the sea
^_^
First time I’ve seen a mermaid wearing a thong bikini.
Even though it might have been poorly done,I still think its pretty cool!
The details were well done…..XOXOXO
how can a mermaid ware a thong?!?!?
Yay.. Nice nice, i like it..
I recall the End of Evangelion being a message about facing realliy, so how do otakus respond? by living in a fantacy world of Rei and Asuka mermaids….oh well Im not suprised, everyone chose instrimentality when they bought that girlfriend of steel dating sim shit.
We are one step closer to Squid Rei and Octapus Asuka, but the next figures will be hobo clowns, I dont blame Gainax, they dont even make these, I blame the fanebase, or the fan dumb
