If you needed anymore proof that the Japanese take the whole cosplay thing more seriously than we do, here it is. For only a piddling $6,800, you too can own your own Neon Genesis Evangelion costume. Mind you, I might pay that if I knew a girl crazy enough to wear one for me, but in the mean time, the price makes this seem a bit ridiculous. From what I gather from news clippings, though, these are extremely popular and selling very well.

Starting on March 1st, fans of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion will be able to book their stay in a room at the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park in Japan that features amenities like an entry plug-shaped bed where guests can watch movies lying down, wake up calls in Rei Ayanami’s voice (a voice touch panel on the phone will also emit Rei Ayanami voice clips), dialogue and graphics painted on the walls that can be revealed with a blacklight, Evangelion artwork and a full-sized statue of Rei herself.
Prices will start at about $450 per night.
