Limited Edition Holiday Special
By The Eva Monkey on Monday, December 22nd, 2008
The other night, my girlfriend and I hosted a German-themed Christmas party, and amongst the guests was none other than Drinian. While we dorked out a bit about Eva, I showed him some of my collection, and he asked me if I had the holiday edition of Evangelion. And I swear, I must be living under a rock these days, because in my prime of Evangelion geekery, something as peculiar as this wouldn’t escape my attention. I don’t know too much, just that it appears to be yet another repackaging of Evangelion, specific to this holiday season. How is it a “Holiday Special”? Well, from what I can tell, the fact that they’re only selling it this holiday season. I’m not even certain if it’s a repackaging of the Platinum Thinpak, or the full-sized Platinum release, or even if it has anything unique that we haven’t seen yet that would interest those who already have Evangelion amongst their collection. In all likelihood, this is just a title update aimed at interesting new and holiday buyers. Even so, why do I want to buy it?
