Rei Ayanami body pillows?
Richard Qunt
Akagi) bishoujo body pillow in the UK?
I've seen the picture of it a while back (so I know they exist - she is in
her NERV uniform on one side, her bra and panties on the other). I can't
find the website now, though.
I remember it not being very cheap, but money is not a problem here. Face
it - it's the only way I'll ever get Rei into my bed. :)

I'm sure Wednesday knows the answer to this question, though I'm not
sure why it was her rather than goat that had a link to such stuff.
I thought the body pillows looked rather sweet, but it's said that
actually being a Rei Ayanami body pillow may not be a particularly
pleasant experience.

Hm... what about... an Asuka body pillow? Would fit nice in front of my...

I've seen Chii body pillows on the web, but never any featuring Rei (I
have looked). IIRC they worked out at about $400, so I guess that an
Ayanami version would be a roughly similar price.
Whether you would want to spend $400 on what basically amounts to a
masturbation aid is an entirely different matter.
At half the price, I would seriously consider it. ^_^

If you don't mind settling for a flat-chested 17 year old nurse with
pink hair, you can find near-life-size Nurse Witch Komugi cushions here:
http://www.komugi-club.com/mugimono/goods.html
also life size cardboard cutouts. (But anyone who wants to run their
hand over a bikini-clad babe should of course get the mouse mat.)
Interesting what you can find by looking up URLs you've seen pop-up
during TV programmes.

How about this, get you favorite Rei Ayanami poster, and post it on your
ceiling above your bed. Then get a nice and warm body pillow. Everynight,
when you go to bed, look at the poster and imagine the body pillow is
Rei. In the morning, you will awake to Rei's beauty. What a nice way to
start your day, and save $400. But if you want to go hardcore, you can get
an inflatable doll, and then dress it up with a Rei Ayanami halloween
costume. Now you can play with Rei, do whatever you want with her, and
she won't complain one bit.

AFAIK, it's a life-size body pillow with a sexually provocative image
of Ayanami on both sides (I think it's supposed to be her (very)
skin-tight plugsuit on one side and see-through lingerie on the
other).
Unfortunately, I have never been able to locate an image.

On the plugsuit side, you can see the outlines of her firm nipples and her
cute little 'manko'. On the other side, you can see nearly everything. ^_^

It's a big body pillow with Rei on it. She is stretched out, looking really
hot and the expression of her face makes her look like she's about to cum.

For a few quid extra, Mr. Qunt could probably find a whore of similar
stature and skin tone to Rei and get her to wear a short blue wig and
red contact lenses during sex.
She'd be glad of the extra cash and grateful that she only had to
spend an evening with some fanboy, rather than someone who wanted to
slap her around or pee on her...
Still a body pillow works out at better value in the long term...

http://www.realdoll.com/images/mai16.jpg
The hair is a pretty good approximation, but the face is too rounded,
the skin is way too dark and the eyes are too small. I can't tell if
they are red or not...
http://www.realdoll.com/faq.html#customize
says "There are certain colors and features we don't immediately
offer, and we can sometimes handle unusual color requests, but we
don't design and sculpt new molds for single orders."
If I were to ever win the lottery or somehow come into a large amount
of money, I would put them to the test on that. I would seriously be
prepared to pay whatever it took for them to produce me an exact
likeness of Rei Ayanami's head and face for my doll (including
correctly-sized eyes), with a custom albino skintone and a properly
proportioned, anatomically-correct body.
I am not an avaricious man. I pretty much already possess everything
that I need and I very rarely feel want for things, other than life's
essentials. I would therefore be in a financial position to allow
myself this one indulgence.

There was somewhere offering 1:1 scale models of Rei, and a couple of
other characters, a while back. I can't remember who it was, but it might
have been JIGS.

From Natsumi Maya:
"23 April 2002
[...]
"For those who can't afford the Paper Moon life-size Chii doll, Kodansha
will be releasing a life-sized Chii cut-out. Preorders start 26 April 2002.
Otherwise, there's the life-sized Chii body pillow
<http://www.bookclub.kodansha.co.jp/Scripts/kshop/intro.idc?hinban=CK224> to
snuggle up to in bed. 3 kg in weight and only 12,600 yen ^_^ "
The link points to a page with a single line of Japanese--no images. Still,
that's a lot cheaper than $400. (The Shoujo-Ai Archive mentions that one
went for UKP400 (pounds sterling) at a con auction--that might be the origin
of the "400" figure.)
Here's a site with a thumbnail image of the Chii body pillow.
<http://www.happy-bivouac.com/chobits/items.html>
I've forgotten the Japanese term for "body pillow" (as opposed to "love
pillow", AKA "Dutch wife")--could someone remind me of it? I might have
better luck in searching if I had it.

No idea, I lost the link a while back. But as I said I think they were on

Some of them were really quite good. If you do find them I hope you can

My mistake, the verb to embrace is "Daku" so I was close.
Something that will make many happy is this site:
http://www.p80.co.jp/p/k/sarubobo.htm
Looks like a custom job and design for a chii dakimakura but the size
and cost is variable. I can't read most of it so any translators out
there, please correct me.
In fact, this place http://sasami.com/makura/link/ has links to what
seem to be custom made dakimakuras. I should warn you that some of
them are not quite modist.

They translated it as "Plum", not "Plumb".
Since "sumomo" is the Japanese word for "plum", and the laptop's name is
clearly a reference to both her size and colors, I think it was
reasonable for them to translate the name.

No idea. But they call her "Plum" in the GN, which puzzles me, I mean why
translate her name into English and leave the others in their original
Japanese form?

Yes, I can see why they translated her name as 'Plum', but I still think
it looks out of place with all the other names being left as the original
Japanese ones.

I'm buying the GNs, but not the anime because I saw the first few episodes
and thought there was way too much fan service. Does the anime improve as
it goes on, or does the fan service continue?

You're watching anime at 4am????
That's either a case of serious anime fandom, or insomnia. ^_^

Heh!heh! Of all the things you *could* have been watching at that

UGH! Thanks for the correction. *sigh* Bloody fingers... :-P
Anyway, "Wagon Maker" ( ;-P ), I understand why people feel the way
you do. However, proper names are just that -- proper names. All
names can be translated and no matter why someone is named they way
they are, I think proper names should be left alone. :-/ But that's
just me and my opinion. Like I said, I'll keep buying the manga and
complete the series, but to me, her name will always be Sumomo!

Even the Kodansha Bilingual mangas translate her name as Plum (did they
ever get around to releasing anything above volume 2?), although I'm not
sure they should have since in chapter 53 her name is clearly written in
English on Minoru's screen as 'SU MO MO'

I think the books are actually more ecchi than the series (CLAMP tend to
get away with more in the novels than they do in the series, e.g.
theralationship between Rika and her teacher in CCS). The fanservice
never seemed intrusive to me, although I've watched the whole of
Mahoromatic since so maybe that has clouded my perception:\
Mind, I think Tokyopop added even more Ecchi than intended when they
translated a couple of lines in particlar in Vol 5 (e.g. "gur bayl
crefba jub pna pbzr vafvqr zr vf gur 'fbzrbar whfr sbe zr'")

My point exactly. Proper names should be left alone and not translated.

Oh the joys of a typo and not being arsed to check the mails you
send!...
>> >> How easy was it to wipe clean?
Funny you should say this. After the hot nights over the past 2 months
and basically not being able to wash the damn thing for 6 months due
to it's size and simply not being able to take the cover off (as there
is no cover) I was posed with a problem. So I got my mum to undo the
stitching, take the capoc out, wash the lining, put the capoc back in
and stitch it back up. I would not DARE let my mother do that had
anything suspicious soiled the pillow!
