Rock historian and author Greil Marcus once wrote that Johnny Rotten’s voice was “a voice that denied all social facts, and in that denial affirmed that everything was possible”. Luckily, he also realized that “The Sex Pistols were a commercial proposition and a cultural conspiracy, launched to change the music business and make money off the change”. To that end, I suppose it’s not all that ironic that the iconic British punks have been immortalized in plastic by Japan’s
Medicom Toy Corporation, makers of the popular
Kubrick line of collectible figures. For those of you living outside of Japan, you can order your own set from my friends at
Rotofugi in Chicago. Your future dream is a shopping scheme!

According to the wikipedia entry they make Eva figures but I couldn't find them on their website. All the figures they make look really cool though.
yeah, all of their figures are made as a limited run so unless they're recent, those eva ones are probably grabbing collector's prices on ebay right about now.
