Plex Releases Figure Combining Evangelion With Godzilla

Plex will release a limited edition Deforeal figure of Awakened Evangelion Unit-01G. This is an original figure born from the question “What if we put Godzilla cells into the Evangelion Unit-01?” Pre-orders started from July 11, 2023, and it costs 15,400 JPY ($109.60). It’s about 17 centimeters in height. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!] The spines on its back, as well as other green parts, use luminescent paint. So if you shine a black light on it in the dark, you’ll be able to make them glow. The figure also comes with a power unit that you can use to make both its eyes and chest core light up. While you can display the Awakened Evangelion Unit-01G Deforeal figure anywhere, these features make it stand out more in a dark room. Since it’s a Deforeal figure, it’s got the proportions of a chibi character. Half of the Evangelion Unit-01’s large head looks like Godzilla’s, complete with sharper teeth than usual. It also has a tail, and fluorescent spines that the original mech lacks. Here are some more pictures of the Awakened Evangelion Unit-01G figure:

This is not the first time that a company released a figure of the Unit-01 but merged with something else. For example, Fujimi Mokei released figures of beetles that have the same color schemes as the Unit-01 and Unit-02. The same company also released a velociraptor model with the Evangelion Unit-01 colors. The Evangelion Godzilla figure is available for pre-order and will come out some time in October 2023. It’s available via Premium Bandai, which does not offer international shipping. However, due to its popularity, there’s the chance it’ll sell out early.
