A spectacular and dynamic sculpture
This diorama figure impresses with an ultra-aggressive pose: the body lunges forward, a mutant arm outstretched, crossed with translucent energy circles. The detailed base evokes a battlefield strewn with technological and organic debris.
The material effects between mechanical parts, organic elements, and transparent shards give incredible visual depth to this scene. It's a must-have for any Evangelion fan looking for a strong and dramatic piece.

Lot B – Shikinami Asuka Langley Figure
Lot B – Asuka Shikinami Langley Figure (Plug Suit Ver.)
Beauty and confidence in a refined sculpt
Asuka appears here in her iconic kneeling pose, wearing her emblematic white plug suit from the Rebuild of Evangelion saga. Her silhouette is delicately sculpted, capturing both the strength and subtlety of her character. The fineness of her facial features, accentuated by a half-provocative, half-dreamy gaze, conveys all the emotional complexity of the character.
Impressive detail work
Her red hair is sculpted with precision, each strand seemingly animated by a discreet breath, enhancing the sensation of movement frozen in time. The bright white plugsuit is adorned with red lines that structure the outfit and add a futuristic dimension to the ensemble. The subtle shading effects on the suit create a realistic texture and highlight Asuka's morphology without overdoing it.
The elegant and poised kneeling posture contrasts with Asuka's more explosive personality, like a pause in her eternal inner struggle. This moment of calm is reinforced by the discreet base and the harmonious balance of the composition.
Height: approximately 15 cm.
Lot C – Mari Makinami Illustrious Figure (Plug Suit Ver.)
A mischievous and confident attitude
Lot C features Mari Makinami Illustrious, an enigmatic pilot with an assertive personality, in her white and pink plug suit from the Rebuild of Evangelion films. She adopts a kneeling pose, leaning slightly back, one hand on her hip, the other gently touching her thigh, with a confident gaze.
Elegant and meticulous finish
The figurine stands out for the quality of its sculpture, particularly in the fluidity of her flowing hair, the details of her tight-fitting suit, and the fidelity of her facial features, adorned with her characteristic glasses. The contrast of the soft colors of the suit with her brown hair enhances the charm of this piece.
Perfect in a duo with the Asuka figure from Lot B, this version of Mari perfectly embodies her relaxed yet precise style. An essential addition to complete the collection of female pilots.
Height: approximately 16 cm.

Two variants are available: with a red bobble hat or hair tied back with small red barrettes.
A meticulous and expressive design
Everything in this figure evokes the joy of childhood: the radiant face, the leaping posture, and details like matching mittens. The contrast between the SD stylization and the richness of textures — jacket folds, scarf reflections, boot soles — demonstrates meticulous work, perfect for softening your Evangelion collection with a touch of winter lightness.

Last One – Evangelion Unit‑02 Alpha (Code 999 Ver.) Figure
An ultimate supercharged and phosphorescent version
