Celebrating 30 years since its TV anime debut, "Neon Genesis Evangelion" remains an absolute powerhouse, constantly dropping new collabs that prove its timeless appeal.
Now, the iconic series is teaming up with Japanese marker brand COPIC for a groundbreaking collaboration! This special edition COPIC Sketch set marks the first time in COPIC history to feature "original color names" and a "collaboration logo" directly on the markers. Fans can get their hands on these exclusive sets early from February 21st to 23rd at the 30th-anniversary event and official online store.
If you're into illustration, you already know COPIC. Their premium alcohol markers are a global favorite among designers and artists, celebrated for their vast color palette, refillable ink, and replaceable nibs. They come in three main types: Classic, Sketch, and Ciao.
This collab takes things up a notch, renaming the cap's "color numbers" and "color names" to fit the "Evangelion" universe. Plus, each marker sports an exclusive collaboration logo – talk about a fan's dream come true! You can choose between the deluxe "EVA Color Set Premium Edition" and a "6-Color Starter Set."
▼ EVA Color Set Premium Edition - Price: 16,500 JPY
This premium set is packed with 5 "EVA" collaboration-exclusive colors, representing the five pilots and their iconic mechs. Each marker features the collab logo, unique color name, and number. You also get 20 standard Copic Sketch colors to round out your palette.
But wait, there's more! It comes with coloring sheets and illustration cards for you to unleash your creativity, and once finished, they double as awesome display pieces. The special edition box, featuring a shimmering aurora foil Unit-01 design, is a collector's item in itself. Whether you're an artist or a die-hard EVA fan, this limited-edition set is a must-have!
