Revoltech Mass-Produced Eva

I had my eye on a Mass Produced Eva figure that I saw in a comic book shop in Spartanburg, SC. PhotobucketOf course I didn't buy it right then because I thought "surely they'll have it at Anime Weekend Atlanta." Well they surely did not have ANY MPEs, which was a major disappointment (and why I had to buy 01 instead). So I had to go all the way back over there since I couldn't find it in any other store.
But damn, was it worth it.Photobucket This has to be my favorite figure of all time. After working with the Revoltech, I am sticking to that line. Eventually I will have the entire set, instead of the mix-n-match set I have now.
This figure is 6" tall, comes with lots of hands, wings, and a stand (which, to mount, the Eva has to take up the butt) The posing is awesome! The joints snap into place, and move so easily.
The only thing I was disappointed about with this figure is that it didn't come with a Lance. Unfortunately, and I didn't realize this, there are TWO separate versions of the Mass Production Unit, one with wings and one with a weapon. Why oh why did they do this to me? I want wings AND a weapon, dammit! I have yet to find the weapon version (it comes with the Lance of Longinus and the Heavy Lance). PhotobucketIt's a limited release version, which means I'll eventually have to end up buying it on Ebay. In the meantime, I'll still be looking for it at the comic shops and conventions and definitely start collecting the rest of the Revoltech figures.
