I bought a /c/ute and the kind anons here might want to know.
This is, of course, Asuka Langley Sohryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion. In May of 1989 Kotobukiya began production on a line of soft resin and vinyl articulated statues which were titled the Active Styling Figures. Nowadays, these statues are better known as the respected ARTFX line of Statues.
They produced this figure of Asuka that wears real material clothing (Socks, dress, blouse, bow and underwear. Shoes are cast in plastic) with hair cast in plastic which doesn't move. This figure in particular made use of ABS and PVC in its manufacture and was released as a figure with 14 points of articulation, herein meaning one ball joint at all major joints. It also comes with two alternate hands for a wider range of gesticulation. It was brought to market in December of 1997.
She's 20 years old and I love her SO much.
Back into the box for super safe keeping.
