Following the "Rei Ayanami" figure from "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time," Japanese toy company Megahouse has unveiled the painted prototype for their latest entry in the high-end "Precious G.E.M." series: "Precious G.E.M. Asuka & Mari." This line, known for its superior quality compared to the standard G.E.M. figures, faithfully recreates their captivating looks from the film. Pre-orders are expected to open in April 2022.

The "Precious G.E.M. Shikinami Asuka Langley & Makinami Mari Illustrious" PVC pre-painted figure is conceptualized around their final battle in "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time," where both characters don their Deep Dive Pressure-Resistant Provisional Plugsuits. The design features a striking Asuka wielding the New EVA Unit-02α's gigantic naginata weapon. Her dynamic backward glance not only highlights the graceful lines of her back but also captures her orange hair flowing dramatically in the wind. Mari is seated beside her, casually embracing Asuka's thigh with one hand, maintaining her signature relaxed smile. Her charming expression adds significant appeal to the overall piece!
