Eva Monkey: an Evangelion Fan Site

Evangelion USB Memory Drives

So, the entry plug one is apparently kind of big, comes in Eva 01 and Eva 00 varieties, and is only 2GB. But the Rei Ayanami drive on the other hand, is like an over sized Lego person that poops up to 4GB of data onto your computer. Isn't that brilliant? And who doesn't want their favorite anime character hanging off the side of their computer? Also comes in new school outfit version. Both based off of that Petit Eva thing.

Evangelion iPhone and iPod Touch Applications

Hey, remember when you could spend like $400 on an Evangelion ipod? Well now you can spend just $2-3 on your iPhone or iPod Touch to make it Evangelion-ish. Appliya Inc. has developed an application for the Apple iPhone and iPod to give it a clock and countdown time reminiscent of the activation timer in Evangelion. There's also a goofy picture stamp application that... puts Angels, Evas, and Rei Ayanami's hair into your pictures. And if that sounds kind of silly, that's because it is silly. If you'd like to see just how silly it is, click here to see a picture of the application in action.

Dengeki PlayStation Online has posted quite a few images from AOU2009 Amusement Expo of Sega's Rebuild of Evangelion figures due out between June and September. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be especially noteworthy, but as it turns out, one of the figures on display was a design illustration of the figure for the new character Mari, who we have not gotten many good glimpses of. Check out the post on Dengeki Playstation Online for more images.

Evangelion Rebuild Tarot Cards

From crab meat to windshield visors, Gainax has put Evangelion on everything you could possibly imagine. So Evangelion tarot cards are not that unusual once you stop to think about it. In fact, I recall a time on the former Eva Monkey Forums when we mused over producing an Evangelion tarot deck. Ultimately, nothing came of it, but it's interesting going back and comparing the old list to the set that Gainax produced. With the exception of Gendo as The Emperor, the lists are totally different. I know very little about Tarot, so I can't say whether Gainax put sufficient thought into which characters would best represent the meanings associated with each card.

These cards are a limited edition set of 22 cards, slated for release on March 19th for a price of 2,940 yen. The set comes with a case and guide.

Evangelion Snowboard and Snowboarding Suit

Tear down the slopes in style... or lack of style. It really all depends on how you look at it. Or maybe it depends on how your friends look at it. While I personally think the board is badass, I think the suit is a bit... well... scary. As in like, "hey everyone, I just spent over eight hundred bucks on something that should really only cost half that just so I can exhibit my favorite cartoon from 1995!" scary. Personally, I think 73,500 yen is a bit steep for either the board or the suit. But I am nevertheless thoroughly fascinated by the ingenuity demonstrated here. It's not everyday that you see a piece of merchandise like this. You can get a closer look at the gear at EvaStore.
