Before I left for ConnectiCon last week, I mentioned I had some really big news. Well, I think these photos will explain everything.
Photos taken by Gensen.
We will have a limited run of Eve figurines at Otakon this weekend. Yeah I know, another con. hehe. After Otakon, we will work on getting the figurines online.
Similar to last year, we will be sharing booth with Megatokyo in the dealers room. We will not be in the artist alley.

Oh my word… That’s awesome. Again, gratz on the figurine. It is very awesome makes me jealous in ways I’ve never known before.
So.. pricing? I can’t be at Otakon to find out myself. Eventualyl, I would like to be a proud owner some day, though.
Wow, looks very nice. When will we see the Tiger-Hawk-in-a-Ball figurine?
And this is bugging me just a little…is it just me, or does that say “AUDLT COLLECTIBLE…”?
I noticed it too… Hawk, does the box has a typo?
Consider it a way to prove you have one of the first run units. :-) Runs $value = $value++.
guys, the japanese misspell english words all the time on their products. just as i imagine we misuse japanese characters on some of ours.
I would agree if it wasn’t standard in the packaging industry for the customer to review and approve the final packaging concepts.
Not entirely blaming Hawk or Ananth… and I don’t know if they ‘did’ have the chance to review the packaging first… but it’s at least partly their fault it’s not spelled correctly.
Regardless, as I mention above, it’s an interesting way to denote first run product from later run product and could turn this early packaging into collectible material.
Very cool I hope to see them up for sale online soon!
gimmygimmygimmygimmuygimmy ^.^
*Stands behind and mimics* ^-^;
Awesome! Pretty damn awesome.
Will there ever be an order online or another run? D: Going to Comic Con is eating up all my money x.x otherwise I’d make a special trip out to get one.
SHINEY!
how much are you gonna sell them for? i’m gonna be at otakon & i want one ^_^
would it be too much to ask you to save one for me? i’ll give you pocky!
Wow. Assuming they’re bot bank breakingly expensive, I’ll be grabbing one Friday morning.
Friggen’ Sweet. Too bad I’m no where near Otakon. I guess I’ll have to wait patiently for them to come online. ^_^
Is there a reason I can’t order other figures (other than Eve) from the Gensen website?
O_O i must have
(o)_(o)
Box … Has … Been ……. OPENED!!
whhhhy!
j/k awesome stuff guys. Have fun w/Piro.
yay
i geting one
Man, I hope I get to the dealers room in time. Uu Yah. I need one of these
ohmuhgawd.
Gorgeous.
I can’t remember if it’s been mentioned, but is there a set price for them yet, and what is it? i can’t get to the con though so i’ll have to wait ’til you set it up for the store. :3
I was just thinking about this the other day wondering when they were coming out and now I am so syked for Otakon. Oh you’ve made my day.
that’s awesome, AND they reprinted the burnout shirt on threadless!
*jumps up and does a dance*
No really, I jumped up and did a dance when I read this newspost. Never have I been happier about going to a convention. I’ll see you guys there! ^___________________^
You know, out of all the things you could have done, I never thought you would make an ACTION FIGURE. @_@ But it seems that you’re not the only ones coming out with some serious merchandise lately. Over at VGCats the Leo plushie is now available!
… *sobs uncontrollably*
noooooooooooo..
why the hell is it at the ONE con that’s close enough to take by car but still so far that I CAN’T go by car?! I’d go to otakon… but I have no form of transportation from northern VA to there! THE HORROR!
PLEASE tell me you’re planning to release it on the online shop! PLEASE!
If you can make it to DC or Annapolis then public transit is just about as fast as a car would be to the Inner Harbour.
Enjoy.
I wish I knew how much it was. I’m in Florida but I have an old friend who still lives up there and I know he will be at Otakon. I’d send him the money to pick one up for me!
same issue here more or less i’m in florida and i doubt that my 95 lebaron convert could make it to the con and survive. plus i cant afford a plane ticket.
wow hawk! that is big news!!!
im so sorry i didnt get to see you! i went friday and ananth said you went somewhere and sat. morning you both werent there
>

the worst part, my brother said i you were there 20 minutes after i had to go home!
but now im the happyest kid in the world!!!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THE PICTURE!!!!!
Freakin’ SWEET!!!
As long as there are some left after Otakon. Otherwise, I can assure you that there will be many unhappy mac lovers and fans.
Clearly, the fact that you guys ALWAYS ALWAYS have the stuff I want over at the cons means I really should get my ass out of Canada. Or y’know, ship you boys here. Because Canada is cool.
My fanboyish drool shall drown the earth.
im getting the rowboat out
I’m down for a yellow submarine. Anyone else wanna chip in for the down payment?
They look sharp! I can’t wait to get one. Gimme Gimmme! GIMMMMMMMMEEEE!
Oh thank you God! Too bad I won’t be at Otakon this year though. Going to SDCC? LOL
O_O Sweet…I want one! :) I’m gonna have to get one some how. I got a couple of questions though, if they sell good…do you think you would be able to add them to the MegaGear store, please… :D or is this really one of those one time things? And my second question, in the first picture I noticed something. I seen that they all have different color squares by her foot, on the left. What does those mean?
I’d bet those squares are actually little hologram stickers (maybe a seal of the manufacturer?), that’s why they look like they are different colors in the picture.
Hawk, You TEASE! The goods are displayed, we get all worked up and polish the racing stripes on our charge cards in anticipation but noooooooooooooo, not available to us schmoes yet…that’s just plain evil!
Can’t hardly wait! Got a spot for Eve on my ‘bot shelf, right next to Robby (who’s right next to Robot Maria…which will make him the luckiest robot in the multiverse when Eve moves in). Bender and the Cybermen are already jealous…
How much will they cost approximately once they are online?
Gleeeeeeeeee. IT MUST BE MINE.
me: wow, any chances that i might a copy?
hawk: sure, just drop by the Otakon
me: I love too..but I’m living in a remote location down in southeast asia, my plane ticket cost more than EVE action figure.
hawk: Sorry to hear that..there’s nothing that i can do about it.
me: It’s ok. I just get back to my zen thingy. Yu know like living moderately and meditate.
first yes it does say “AUDLT COLLECTIBLE” unless im blind and second *screams like a little girl* yay
Alas, there’s no hope of me ever turning up to Otakon, it’s in the USA for one, and that’s just too far to fly :( So I’m _REALLY_ hoping that I can order one online somehow, and that you’ll ship to Australia.
Hope

Holy sheet that’s awesome! Hey Hawk, will the Eve figure ever be on sale in the online store?
Congrats on the first run! I hope to have mine soon. This will make a good start to my collection. All my other figurines met a horrible demise.
And is it just me or can noone else order anything off the Gensen website?
[...] How much is a plane ticket to Baltimore again? (Expedia says it starts at $559 for a round trip. O_o Think I’ll just wait for it to hit the online store.) [...]

soooo puuurty, must have it, i must have it so badly. Hopefully u will sell online soon, oh please oh please
o.O gimmie ^^
I want one. That looks amazing! Shame I live in the UK. I really hope you can get a full run so peeps like me can get in the future!
for eve obsessive people, you should make a more kid friendly model, more like the one from ur comix. hope ur sales go well.
That is so cool! Great achievement, guys!
Any future posiblity to sell them online? Being an overseas (Spanish) reader, is hard to going to any U.S. Cons… :S

Is it just me, or is no one reading the post too well?
“We will have a limited run of Eve figurines at Otakon this weekend. Yeah I know, another con. hehe. After Otakon, we will work on getting the figurines online.“
