Japan's Bandai SPIRITS company's popular "Ichiban Kuji" (lottery prize) series, where every draw wins a prize, will launch a new product themed on "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time" – "Neon Genesis Evangelion ~Operation Yamato!~". The reference price is 790 JPY per draw, and it is expected to be released in mid-July 2025!

This "Neon Genesis Evangelion ~Operation Yamato!~" will offer prizes of different tiers, including A-G, the Last One Prize, and the Double Chance Prize. The character figures for Prizes A, B, C, and D have been revealed first. Prize A's EVA-02α adopts the design from the Antarctic decisive battle in "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time," where it broke through the AT Field of the new EVA-02α by borrowing the power of an Angel. It recreates the powerful stance of it bursting out from the JA-02 parts with a transparent left hand effect part!

Prizes B and C feature Asuka and Mari wearing white ultra-deep diving pressure-resistant prototype combat suits. The sculpting faithfully reproduces their slender and graceful body curves, and their flowing hair adds a strong sense of dynamism to the overall presentation!


Prize D features young Asuka in a winter outfit, sculpted to recreate the dynamic pose of her walking on a tree trunk with one leg raised. It offers two styles: twin-tailed and wearing a wool hat. Both are incredibly cute! According to the currently released text information, Prizes E-G will be rubber collectibles, acrylic standees, and clear posters, respectively. The Last One Prize and Double Chance Prize will be a Last One Version of the EVA-02α character figure. Further details will be announced later, which is highly anticipated!
