Today I found out there was actually a replica of the Spear of Longinus as seen on the cult anime series, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Spear of Longinus, if you don’t already know, is one of the many biblical references in the series. It appeared in the original series several times, including what-I-thought was the most breathtaking moment when Eva Unit 00 piloted by Rei hurled the Spear of Longinus like a javelin into the Earth’s orbit, killing the Angel loitering in the orbit.

Do you need Japan’s cult mecha v. aliens series from the 90s, Neon Genesis Evangelion, on Netflix? I am guessing maybe not.

Supposedly ’Cute’ Take Of Evangelion Figure Looks Creepy As Hell
Funko is the name in cute-tifying characters, so is Chris Uminga’s take. Uminga’s iterations of superheroes may look ‘creepy’ but they are pale in comparison with the newly announced Shiny EVA-01 Parfom Evangelion Figure. It is new, shiny metallic variant joining the “Parfom” line, which is a highly posable and cute re-imagining of Evangelion. Well, it does not look exactly cute, does it? I mean, come on. Just look at it. It looks like it is ready to tear up anyone. Continue reading Supposedly ’Cute’ Take Of Evangelion Figure Looks Creepy As Hell
