Bandai's Mari Illustrious Makinami figure from Evangelion 2.0 photo

It seems quite a bit of people had taken a liking to the new Evangelion character according to yesterday's post. I had also mentioned that they already made a figure of her, but it was only there to look pretty during the WonHob9 event. Today I present to you Miss Mari Makinami, who is up and ready to be pre-ordered!

Sometimes I think it's a problem when figures are released before you actually get to know the character. I'm sure there are a lot of figure collectors who don't care about that and just want them because they are cute. While I don't care about Evangelion, I'm curious to see what kind of character Mari will be.

Mari's based on a 1/8 scale and will be available in late July 2009. The retail price is 4,4120 yen and can be pre-ordered over at HobbySearch. The quality of the figure isn't the best and it isn't the worst, but I'm sure we'll be seeing more of her in the future.

The petite version was much cuter. =( I'm not too fond of the head mold. It just looks cheaply done. Granted, as you stated, there have been worse. Still, the mouth bothers me and the paint job on the glasses looks rough.

Hopefully another company will pick up this character and we can see something a little more impressive.
I'm liking her design quite a bit. I wants her!
