Perhaps the cutest addition to Wave’s XX-Chromosome series is the Mineism of the cosmic 10th angel Sahaqiel. 
Here Sahaqiel’s colossal form has been magically reduced to a pretty petite dressed in pyjamas! The trailing extremities of her cosy costume and turned in toes give her the appearance of a posing kigurumi gal. Wave’s work is small but perfectly formed in this ingenious fusion of space invader and street fashion. Sahaqiel is from head to toe and eye to every eye utterly adorable. 
Cutie cosplay figures, these tempting little bonbons feature the sweetest Eva makeover. As always with Evangelion merchandise, there are irrepressible elements in the combination of the incongruously cute and the bizarre producing products that are kawaii and kitchy in the extreme. In place of the regular range of everyday accessories commonly sported by Pinkys are little shito Lilith and Gaghiel, skewered like candied apples on custom cutlery - a minuture prog knife and the Lance of Longinus. Pinkys are a superb variation on chibi couture, featuring a distinctive restyling of character shorthand with their heavy feet and shiny bubble headed faces. In these incarnations, Asuka is wide mouthed and mischievous whilst Rei appears typically docile and vacant. These Gainax goodies, which were produced to celebrate Eva’s 10th anniversary, make a tasty place of any fan’s crowded shelf space ^_^
The delicate sakura tint of springtime tragedy, of boys - ephemeral beings with ethereal beauty. This is super boys’ RABU RABU!!! Kyuuuuuu~n ~_~…..
The piece is frustrating but rings true to essence of their relationship to the brief period of calm that exists between them as they maintain a reciprocally inquisitive connection that binds them to each other. I cannot fault the faithful representation that the sculpt of each face offers and as even the great Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, at times has issues with Kaworu’s character design, I appreciate this even more.
2004 saw the release another popular Wonderfest spin on the Eva duo, PVCed by Kaiyodo. These yummy curiosities have pure kook appeal in their swimsuit style plugsuits, Rei is depicted as a cold-eyed kitty with embryo Adam chained in tow, encircling her ankle. Asuka is suitably cast as a monkey (which doubles as reference to the series and recalling her childhood plush toy). Her violent, arrogant nature is finished in this design with a miniature Lilith, skewered on the progressive knife that she holds at her side.
I make my debut with little Lilith, originally released in March 2006 by Wave. She's part of the XX-Chromosome Evangelion Angel series designed by Yoshizaki Mine of the Capcom/Keroro Gunsou fame. Mine-sensei's work has irresistble allure and I find the purun-purun roundness of his designs lend themselves perfectly to 3D. This figure series has that tasty indulgent quality, much like a good doujinshi, of stretching an original concept to kawaii highs, that say -what the hell, this is heaven!
