"Star Ring Heavy Industries," a Chinese model brand specializing in hard-surface sci-fi subjects such as spacecraft and ground vehicles, has announced its latest product, the "Ultra Scale AAA Wunder Pre-Painted Model Ver.," from the anime film *Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time*. It is scheduled for release in September 2026 and will be sold exclusively via a made-to-order reservation system. 
The "AAA Wunder," a colossal battleship over 2000 meters in length, is operated by WILLE, the anti-NERV organization led by Misato Katsuragi. Its official name is "Autonomous Assault Ark Wunder." The ship's silhouette resembles the Nazca Lines' hummingbird, with its hull integrating the skeletal structure of a giant whale and a double-helix design. In the film, WILLE utilizes the recovered "EVA Unit-01" as the ship's primary power source, granting it abilities such as gravity control and AT Field deployment. It is also equipped with a rich variety of armaments, including numerous railguns, energy-piercing rounds, curved trajectory shells, and super-electromagnetic direct-impact rounds.
The "Ultra Scale AAA Wunder Pre-Painted Model Ver." boasts an impressive length of approximately 103 cm. Its overall design meticulously reproduces the ship's various color tones, lighting, and insignia details based on the anime settings. The intricate and multi-layered hull structure, surface reflections, and shadows are precisely rendered through expert paint application. Armaments such as railguns and radar on the hull can be freely attached and detached using internal magnets. Furthermore, the thruster nozzles at the rear of the engines feature LED lighting mechanisms, offering multiple modes including constant illumination and a "breathing" fade effect.
The Pre-Painted Model Ver. also includes a metal nameplate for the ship, pre-painted models of the "Evangelion Production Model-02'γ" and "Evangelion Production Model (WILLE Custom) -08'β" in the same scale, and a laser-engraved acrylic cube featuring an internal silhouette of the AAA Wunder.
