So far, these two are to-scale with the SOCSpec line, so I wonder if we'll be seeing some other similar-sized Angels...? The 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, and 15th Angels are the largest ones so they may still avoid those. (But one can hope!) <hr> Did anyone else notice in that same image the kid-like girl dressed up as the Jet Alone, next to Misato? <em>Kawai</em>! That would be the "4th Angel" that I mentioned in my first post earlier... ^_^

They look like they're to-scale with the SOCSpec figures...! <hr> Should I mention that physical models/toys have been made of only the 3rd, 13th, 14th, and 17th Angels...? . 11th was a virus with no confirmed shape; 7th was split in half to form two independently-operating yet coordinated Angels (a clever form of regeneration, if I do say so myself); 9th was basically a giant, very thin spider with only four legs; 15th was made of light (but looked pretty wicked!); and 8th was poorly defined on-screen but had a real shape to it. ...you know that I know Japanese like the back of my hand! :P

I <em>told</em> ya in my <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/1572"><strong>SOCSpec XS-01 <em>Evangelion Unit-01</em></strong></a> review that there was a battle-damage version coming soon! <em>Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I</em>!? . But what I <em>didn't</em> know was that they'd be making SOCSpec versions of the "<em>Revival of Evangelion</em>" versions of the EVA Units (<strong>XS-03</strong> and <strong>XS-04</strong>?)! <em>And</em> they're making an SOCSpec version of the 3rd Angel!? And though it's clipped-off in that image, it looks like there's a prototype for the 4th Angel as well--! <strong> O.o? </strong> (I don't know why they're doing it because they're both <em>far</em> from being mecha, but I <em>do</em> want them nonetheless!) . I guess this means my chances of picking up and SOCSpec version of my namesake just rose a bit! Yay!!! See-!? I told ya in my SOCSpec XS-01 Evangelion Unit-01 review that there was a battle-damage version coming soon! Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I!?
