Would you like to know what the icing on the cake of the insanity that is these inflatable toddler rides? Only one of the ponies is based on an actual EVA Unit. The other three are based on the plug suits of Rei, Asuka and Mari — not the giant humanoid robots they pilot. So really, any parents are choosing which Evangelion girl they want their children to ride. IT’S LIKE THEY COME PREPACKAGED WITH EVENTUAL DEBILITATING EMOTIONAL ISSUES. (Via Tomopop)
