Shikinami Asuka Langley, in her plugsuit from Evangelion Shin Gekijouban, has been sculpted into a new figure as part of the “S.H.Figuarts” series, known for its dedication to “character expression through articulation” in palm-sized standard figures. This release commemorates the 30th anniversary of the TV series’ broadcast and is currently available for pre-order as a general retail item.
The Ever-Evolving Legacy of Evangelion
The Evangelion series first sparked a massive social phenomenon with the broadcast of its TV series, Shin Seiki Evangelion (commonly known as Neon Genesis Evangelion), in 1995. It triumphantly relaunched in 2007 with the Evangelion Shin Gekijouban series, releasing three hugely successful films: Evangelion: Jo, Evangelion: Ha, and Evangelion: Kyuu. The grand finale, Shin Evangelion Gekijouban, which premiered in 2021, achieved a monumental feat by surpassing 10 billion yen in box office revenue—a first for the series—and generated immense buzz among fans worldwide.
This latest “S.H.Figuarts Shikinami Asuka Langley” commemorates the 30th anniversary of the TV series’ broadcast, bringing to life Shikinami Asuka Langley in her plugsuit from Evangelion Shin Gekijouban as an S.H.Figuarts.
Masterful Articulation and Captivating Expressions
To enable soft, incredibly natural poses, the figure’s articulation structure has been meticulously engineered. This thoughtful design allows you to pose Asuka-chan with graceful chest arches and dynamic waist twists while perfectly preserving her beautiful silhouette. A standout feature is the innovative roll articulation on the inner thighs and at the knees when bent, which makes it possible for her to strike even delicate sitting poses with remarkable realism.
Beyond her standard expression, this figure also comes complete with five interchangeable face parts. Each distinct expression has been carefully chosen from memorable scenes within the anime, with some even featuring subtle cheek gradients to create an even softer and more nuanced appearance. By combining these varied expressions with dynamic posing, you can joyfully recreate many of Asuka’s most iconic moments, including her famous “Are you an idiot?” (Anta bakaa?) line!
Expand Your Evangelion Display!
Furthermore, a special honeycomb-shaped display stand is included, making it incredibly easy to showcase Asuka alongside the separately sold “S.H.Figuarts Ayanami Rei.” Displaying these two pivotal characters together will undoubtedly expand the immersive world of Evangelion Shin Gekijouban right in your personal collection!
