Thanks for the links!Your decision was a rational one.
E2046s ORI Designers did an astounding job on creating a matching Asuka.She turned out dangerously hot.
I was really,really indecisive since i knew that Yamato does a good Job on this Rei.Im gonna go through with this now.When im spending that much money on asuka i can spend that much money on rei aswell

Well, I was in the same dilemma as you and even pre-ordered both at E2046 but after carefully analyzing Rei pictures, I noticed that they did a mess on her head bandage and I didn’t like the way they painted her eye too. You can compare the Gathering Rei pictures with these http://mitumasa.com/gallery/ayanami/

On the Gathering kit, the bandage is too thick and clumsy. You can fix it as Valeria-Gon did, but in the end I cancelled the preoder on both and placed a new order on Asuka only, although she wasn’t based on a Shunya Yamashita’s original design, E2046 had a brilliant idea and did a splendid job creating an Asuka to match Shunya’s Rei. The high price of the set pondered on my decision too.
A friend of mine purchased Yamato’s Rei and, in spite of she wasn’t cast-off enabled and the lack of the head bandage, it is a stunning figure.

I dont think so either…Gathering Figures are simply stunning.My studpid brain tries to remind me of the involved money tough ^^

I don't think you are making a decision in vain. I just purchased and reviewed a Gathering figure. Very very pleased. Jem´s last blog post..November Haul

@lovelyDuckie

@Q and DancingQueen

Alright i think ill go for the E2046 figures.Means alot of work but those 2 wont let me get any sleep.Those 2 are my absolutely most wanted figures right now and i still have time to save some money for them.

Thanks to everyone that gave his advice so far!

i think that if you honestly want them go for it, yeah it's a hefty price to pay but they are pretty amazingly beautiful. I think the thing that seals the deal for E2046 is that asuka that they made as well. SHe's just breathaking and the cast off features on rei make it worth it to me. Just cancel the order for the yamato version adn work your butt of the make up for the money spent on those two. Like gordon says, money can be earned back but once a figure is missed your Sh*t out of luck. Dancing Queen´s last blog post..Get out an VOTE!

If you really like both of them, then I'll say buy them, even if it does mean you have to spend more money in a short period of time. I second Gordon that if you miss the chance, it's not easy to acquire the figures again. However considering how much you are spending and how much you've got can be a problem... Tough decision indeed. Whatever you do, just don't regret with the decision you will make. Q´s last blog post..figma care

Ah! You're a completionist like me, it's either all or none! I usually choose all...although that doesn't make it the right answer...hhhmm it's best I not think about these things. lovelyduckie´s last blog post..Mikuru - Version 1 (Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) Max Factory

@hikky
They arent actually that much cheaper when bought together…

@GNdynames
The Order on the PVC Rei is already placed…Decisons,Decisions

@James
Ill buy them if you give me the money. DEAL?

@Panther
If i really had the money by then it be no problem at all.Its just a guess that i could have that much money by then.
Yeah but still some SGs seem to be quite whiny these days
Answered your PM

@picchar
First off a big thanks to your lenghty reply
I havent heard of a Yamashita Drawing of Asuka either so it might be just a copy of his Artstyle…
I also know that E2046 isnt selling original Resinkits(except for their Ori series).And thats probably the thing that bugs me the most about it.Its a really really big amount of money and my head just tells me that its wrong to spend so much on something like this (“original” or not).Im actually perfectly fine with the PVC Version and just to pay for some bandages (the castoff isnt really that important to me) the 2,5x amount of the Yamato PVC…leaves a really sour taste.
Yet i like the Idea of having both Asuka and Rei since they belong together…
Maybe i should just get the Creators Labo Rei and later the Gathering Asuka.They dont match basewise(wich is a bummer) but it would be the most economical choice.

If i wouldnt be stuck with my 15 hour/week job and have a fulltime one this choice wouldnt be that hard :/

@gordon
Its true but still very hard to decide.I still get soe money from my boss for overhours.I dont know how much that will be ill have to ask maybe ill be able to decide then

if u really want it, go for it. as i always say to myself, money can always be earned back, but figures if i missed it now, i might not see them again. gordon´s last blog post..Fauna at the Beach
