I actually don’t see anything wrong with her except for her butt being too outward. I’m happy she has the pink plugsuit on. The green plugsuit would’ve stood out too much. I have to see more pics. before I decide if I really like her or not. But you have to admit she looks a LOT better than the other Mari figures out there. I’m sure Koto will do a good job on her. I’m going to get her after she’s been released though. I know I’ll find her for a reasonable price.

I kind of liked Mari’s character, though she has very poor English. The new movies are pretty good btw.

I think Shirahige likes him some fine ass, because both Rei and Asuka have them stuck out one way or another. Mari fits in fine with that motif.

Personally I think Asuka is the best of the line.

All of the Koto Eva figures have awkward poses, so I don’t fault this pose anymore then the others.

I too thought there was something wrong with her face, or perhaps head. I’m undecided if it’s the whole head or just the face.

The industrial feel of her prototype suit is fine, but I think the pink plugsuit does fit in better with the rest. Red + white = pink.

I don’t know jack about the new Evangelion movies and I don’t particularly care for the character design for the new girl, but oddly enough, I really like this figure. Maybe it’s because the girl seems to inviting you to admire her ass. I don’t know if I’ll pick up the Rei and Asuka figures in this line, but I’m thinking I’ll get this one.

Ha, they’ve got you in their trap.

But I do agree — there’s something wrong about her face… I think her features are placed a little too low, thus making the forehead look abnormally large by comparison.

The pose is also looks a bit awkward — she’s not quite sitting on the base, nor is she standing, but rather she seems to be putting the entirety of her weight on her front toes and left knee. Not the most comfortable-looking pose, to be sure.

Also, am I the only one who prefers her prototype plug suit? Sure, the pink suit has more tits and ass, but the green suit has an industrial feel to it that I really enjoy. It’s probably too much to ask for from this series, though — Kotobukiya seems to be really going for the skin-tight plug suits, what with all the gloss finishing and whatnot.
