Kotobuiya is going to re-release the Shinji & Kaoru ( シンジ＆カヲル ) School Uniform Ver. ( 制服Ｖｅｒ． ) 1/8 PVC figure from the anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion” ( 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン ). Will be re-released in March 2010. Around 110mm tall, 5,800 yen.
You can pre-order them here
For some reason Kotobukiya decided to re-release a bunch of old figures in March. This Shinji & Kaoru School Uniform Ver. was originally released in January 2007. I really couldn’t remember that Kotobukiya had this figure set at all, lol.
I guess it’s pretty common these days. But before Kaoru appeared in the Evangelion anime, I had no idea what Yaoi (AKA Boy’s Love) was and I didn’t even know this term exist at all. Well, it’s true that I was young at that time and didn’t really know those Japanese terms. But I really never thought that one boy and another boy can have this kind of relationship, LOL.

That’s really awesome!
I took interest in those pieces of ornately shaped plastic^^ long after 2006, so I had no chance of acquiring this two.
But I just love Kaoru, and wanted to have him “in person”
I’ve been thinking of buying a RAH action doll of him buy my wallet is crying: “For God’s sake, NOOO!!”
This figure is a decent alternative, love their poses and everything.
A must have for me!^__^
Shonen-Ai is not the same thing as “Yaoi”, just like not all love is sexual, and romance and hentai are not the same 😉
Are both of them for 5,800 yen or each? Cause if both, that’s a great deal.
