Evangelion is still heavily marketed and from what I can gather, it's still a very valuable franchise. Gainax is set for life thanks to Evangelion. And yeah, I've gotten some of them cool Asuka figurines... I love my sleepy time Asuka. Too bad I'm paranoid to take her out of the box. Evangelion does grace like, everything... Magazines, comics/mangas, video games, figurines, cards, etc.
