"Action figures!  This way, we can improve our
image AND make some money!  If this works, we could
even do a NERV animated series!  Gainax has expressed
interest, and so has Sunrise and AIC.  And Studio Pierrot
wants to do a magical girl show starring Rei."

Are these the action figures referred to in episode #9? Oh, of course not. They were remaindered X-Men figures...

    "The marketing group loved it."

    "And where was this marketing group?"

    "Some place in Colorado called 'South Park'.
Although they did complain the talking figures didn't
swear enough."

    Gendo mentally made a note to arrange an
accidental carpetbombing.

That sounds about right.

"I want script approval on any
TV series.  And what's this about one starring Rei as a
magical girl?"

    "They want to make her a fairy princess come to
make people's dreams come true."  She dug through her
briefcase for the papers.  "Ah yes, the director is calling
it 'A post-apocalyptic Minki Momo.  This could be the
voice of despair for our generation'."

Just what I'd like to see!

*eyes unfocus*

'Magical Princess Rei'... Couldn't be any worse than 'Magical Princess Dinky Pipsqueak'...
