Well, I Can Cross That One Off My List... - Black Aeronaut - 08-25-2010
Just came back from Fuji-Q Highland Park. Guess what I saw? Uh-huh. Yeee~AAAAA~aaahhhh!
Photographic evidence coming soon. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the life-size entry plug and that you had to make a reservation before noon to snag that one.
Oh, and what isn't mentioned are the life-size replicas of Asuka and Rei. So now I have distinctly clear ideas of what their proportions are - DAMN THEY'RE TINY! (O_O

Officially, Misato is 5ft 4in, IIRC and she towers over the Children in the series, and I've seen a few life sized figurines on the web from time to time standing beside otherwise ordinary people. I don't remember teenagers being *that* short when I was 13....

Can't believe I forgot all about this. Just goes to show you how stressful Navy life can be at times. But, as promised...

Heh, funny. You can see the reflection of my fiance's legs in there. Pretty sure she didn't mean to do that. (^_^

And they come pretty close to Rei and Asuka. It doesn't help matters any that anyone that I've met at 14 that started puberty at 9 or 10 had sprouted like a weed.Dartz Wrote:Officially, Misato is 5ft 4in, IIRC and she towers over the Children in the series, and I've seen a few life sized figurines on the web from time to time standing beside otherwise ordinary people.

One final bit: I stumbled across a blog entry by a fellow Sailor about his visit to Evangelion World in Fuji-Q Highland Park. He goes into detail about everything there.
