Neon Sign Kit vs. Ebay Beer Neon
ThinkgGeek started selling this surprisingly affordable neon signage kit. A power supply is $30, and it can control up to 22 of the blue letters, which cost $7 each. If you're just looking to run some buzzing neon, and don't care what it spells out, you might do better on eBay under the neon Beer-aphenalia, where signs start for less and quickly rise for the neon worth a Bud Light babe's weight in cheese factor. I'll forgo my predictable "Gizmodo" sign for that Kirin and Sushi piece any day. [ThinkGeek via RedFerret and Ebay Neon]

Lego Evangelion Unit 01 Probably Unintentionally Commemorates a Soon-to-Be-Released Special Edition Box Set
Giz Japan shares our love of Lego and Neon Genesis Evangelion, so they sent us some shots of this grey Unit 01 built by mumu-san. Like Giz Japan's editors, we'd like to see some purple blocks in the interest of being faithful (and probably more attractive), but overall it looks pretty good. Really though, what we'd like to see is a giant LEGO Pen-Pen. Like two stories. At least. More »

Neon Genesis Evangelion Bike
This week's Tokyo International Anime Fair saw the debut of the EVA 01 bike, modeled after the popular Neon Genesis Evangelion series. The bike has a six-speed Shimano transmission, suspension for front and rear and can be folded into a more compact shape. To the dismay of fanboys everywhere, this model is colored to match the first Eva unit, but the company has no plans to release more models to emulate the other Eva units. To make your collection complete, be sure to ride this baby while listening to your Neon Genesis Evangelion iPod. More »

LED-Flex: Like Neon Tied Up In Knots
Mule Lighting has created a substitute for neon that's made up of flexible LEDs that are just as bright but 70% more energy efficient. The lights also last longer than neon and are more durable, too, with their specially-designed LEDs cleverly inserted inside tough yet flexible tubes. That bendability facilitates dazzling applications as well—Mule says, It looks just like neon except you can tie it in knots. More »

The KDDI "neon" Phone
I'm still reeling from this KDDI phone by Naoto Fukasawa (the latest in the au design project series). The English version of the flash site has not been added, so I'm hoping one of our Japanese-speaking readers can supply more accurate details in a few hours. From what I can tell, this has an organic EL display (similar to the Sony NW-A1000 Walkman)—so that smooth top surface of the phone is one big display. This is particularly useful for using the FM radio and the rest of the audio features, because this is a music phone (50MB of memory, from what I can tell, and a miniSD card slot). It also appears to be compatible with the Yamaha NX-A01 cellphone speaker system. Flip the handset open—it's white on the outside and black on the inside—and neon is packing a 240 x 320 TFT screen, 1.3 megapixel camera and a whole lot of other stuff I can't translate. The neon is one of 7 new models on tap from KDDI's au design for the spring. More »
