I am an Asuka fag and I wasn't planning on getting Rei initially but I liked how she looked in reviews so decided to go for it and I am really glad I did. I think she's amazing. I'm quite surprised how much I like her. All the joints feel very nice and smooth. The articulation is really great. There is no retarded overengineered bs that SHF tends to do. The only "experimental" thing might be the way they did the drop down hips but I actually think it is a clever design. While posing I kept thinking nah she's not going to move this way but she did. The only areas lacking I would say are the legs can't really close together so you can't do that knee hug pose the model kit has the part for. I tried but she has to cross her legs. And also the backward tilt on the head is limited too but that's kind of standard I guess.
The differences in the faces is very subtle and at first I thought what is the point of having so many that are almost the same. But actually I feel like they make quite a difference. I think a closed eyes face would have been nice to have though. And I know people don't really like the head and yeah it's not exactly 1:1 to the anime but you can tell it's Rei and that's good enough for me.
I love the orange stand too that's a nice inclusion. She honestly might be one of my favorites. The only annoying thing on is the hinge in her head keeps popping off, idk if that's common or just my copy. But other than that I'm actually pretty impressed. I'm looking forward to Asuka even more now. Also hope you guys like my poses. Unfortunately I only have a garbage phone camera. I hate how shitty the pics came out, they don't do her justice.
