GOOD SMILE COMPANY's popular and affordable POP UP PARADE figure brand is expanding its swimsuit-focused BEACH QUEENS series with a new "Rebuild of Evangelion" release: the "Rei Ayanami (One-Piece Swimsuit Style) Ver. L size" pre-painted figure. This larger L-size collectible is priced at 8,800 JPY and is slated for a January 2027 release!
Rei Ayanami, the enigmatic pilot of EVA Unit-00, was famously designed by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, who drew inspiration from a character in his previous manga work, "Kotou no Oni." Conceived by Hideaki Anno, Rei represents the unconscious aspects of Shinji's mind and is a key figure in his Oedipal complex.
This "Rei Ayanami (One-Piece Swimsuit Style) Ver. L size" pre-painted figure stands approximately 22 cm tall, capturing Rei in a pristine white one-piece swimsuit. The exquisite sculpting beautifully showcases her balanced body proportions and slender physique, faithfully recreating the visual of her form enveloped by the swimwear. Intricate printing on her chest features the iconic "00" emblem, mirroring her pilot suit. The figure utilizes a molded skin tone complemented by delicate pink airbrushing to achieve a realistic texture for her hands and fair thighs. She can be displayed alongside the simultaneously announced "Asuka Shikinami Langley (Bikini Style) Ver. L size" to create a vibrant summer display!
