Good Smile Company and Max Factory are adding Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Shikinami from the "Rebuild of Evangelion" films to their PLAMATEA line of movable plastic model kits. Both figures stand approximately 170mm tall and are scheduled for release in December 2026 at 7,700 yen each. The Rei Ayanami kit includes three expression parts-serious, smiling, and glaring-with decals for eye direction, plus a glasses case accessory. The Asuka Langley Shikinami kit includes smiling, embarrassed, and "Are you stupid?" faces, along with a puppet accessory. Both models feature movable joints, pre-painted parts, and color-separated molding. They come with a base that has a movable support arm and can hold weapons from the separately sold MODEROID Evangelion Unit-01 kit. Prototype production is by SELECT D.
Both kits use molded colors, pre-painted parts, and decals to achieve a screen-accurate finish without painting. The Rei Ayanami model includes a serious face pre-painted, plus three decal-only faces for custom eye direction. The Asuka Langley Shikinami model includes a smiling face pre-painted and three decal faces. Each kit has a wide range of motion that allows sitting poses. The included wrist parts can grip weapons from the MODEROID Evangelion Unit-01 kit, sold separately. The PLAMATEA series is a collaboration between Good Smile Company and Max Factory. The announcement follows threezero's earlier reveal of a Robo-Dou Evangelion 8+2 Alpha figure, also from the Rebuild films, priced at 25,490 yen and shipping in Q4 2026.
