Evangelion

Evangelion merchandise covers decades of releases from the original Neon Genesis series through the Rebuild films. The range is massive—budget plushes, model kits for builders, articulated action figures, and ultra-premium statues that cost as much as rent. There's something for every type of collector and budget.

What's Available

Chibi-style figures from manufacturers like Good Smile bring Rei, Asuka, Shinji, Kaworu, and Mari in collectible formats with swappable faces and accessories. Articulated figures offer full posability for dynamic displays. Mid-range statues balance detail and cost without breaking into premium territory.

Model kit enthusiasts have options for both EVA units and characters. These require assembly and sometimes painting, but they offer customization that pre-built figures don't. The kits range from beginner-friendly snap-fit to complex builds for experienced hobbyists.

Premium collectors can find high-end statues with die-cast parts, massive dioramas recreating scenes with EVA units fighting Angels, and limited edition pieces that tower over standard figures. These are investment-level collectibles with price tags to match.

Characters and EVA Units

Pilot figures dominate—Rei, Asuka, Shinji, Kaworu, and Mari in plugsuits, school uniforms, or casual wear. The EVA units themselves appear as plushes, desktop figures, and elaborate diorama statues. Even the Angels get collectible treatment for fans with specific tastes.

Crossovers happen. Evangelion x other franchises create unique mashups that blur the line between mecha, dinosaurs, and pop idols. These are niche but popular with collectors who want something different.

Rebuild vs Original Series

Products pull from both continuities. Some specify "Neon Genesis Evangelion" for the original series, others say "Rebuild of Evangelion" for the films. Mari only appears in Rebuild merchandise since she wasn't in the original. Check descriptions if series accuracy matters to you.

FAQs

Are Evangelion figures based on the original series or Rebuild films?
Both. Product titles usually specify which continuity. Rebuild brought updated designs and new characters like Mari.

Do Evangelion model kits require painting?
Most are pre-colored plastic that snaps together. Painting is optional for those who want to customize further.

Which Evangelion character has the most merchandise?
Rei and Asuka compete for the top spot. Shinji has strong representation. Kaworu and Mari trail but still have solid options.

Are EVA plushes poseable?
No. Plushes are soft display pieces without articulation. Look for action figures if you want posability.
