Premium Bandai Opens Preorders For 30MP Rei Ayanami Uniform Model
The kit is a low-priced, small-format addition to the tie-in figure line, and its bundled everyday parts push it past a straight character model toward scene recreation.

Premium Bandai begins accepting preorders for "30MP Rei Ayanami (Uniform Ver.)" on October 5 at 12:00. The 30 MINUTES PREFERENCE kit from "Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition" adds two new facial expression parts over the Plug Suit version, a sitting pose, and newly sculpted uniform parts with a soft-material skirt detailed down to the wrinkles. It ships in January 2027 for 4,620 yen.
The uniform is not the only thing added. The kit ships with parts for a sitting pose, a school bag, and a scene of Rei drinking the miso soup Shinji Ikari made at the Japan Marine Ecosystem Preservation Research Organization, plus water-transfer decals for expression work. The joint articulation carried over from 30 MINUTES LABEL is what makes those poses possible.
Parts from the Plug Suit Ver. return in reduced form here: two facial expression parts are new to this version. Everything else, the skirt included, is newly sculpted, and the skirt uses a soft material with wrinkle detail worked in.
