Bandai reveals new model kit of Evangelion’s Asuka Langley Shikinami
A new model kit has been announced by Bandai Spirits, featuring one of the most popular pilots from the Rebuild of Evangelion movies.
The new “30MP Shikinami Asuka Langley (Plugsuit Ver.)” kit will join the “30 MINUTES PREFERENCE” (30MP) plastic model line, a popular brand from Bandai Spirits, and was announced during the “12th 30 MINUTES LABEL New Product Presentation” stream on November 17.
The figure captures Asuka in her signature red plugsuit, which is presented with a glossy, high-shine finish.
The kit also includes a highly-detailed “Spear of Cassius” as an accessory, a key item from the films.
This is the second character from the Evangelion franchise to join the 30MP series.
It follows the successful first release, the “30MP Rei Ayanami (Plugsuit Ver.),” which launched in October 2025.
That kit features Rei in her iconic white plugsuit and includes interchangeable parts to display her in her famous “sitting with knees up” pose, as well as accessories like the Spear of Longinus and Shinji’s S-DAT player.
The new “30MP Shikinami Asuka Langley (Plugsuit Ver.)” is scheduled to be released in April 2026 and will be priced at 4,400 yen (approx. $28.60 USD / £21.56 GBP).
The previously released “30MP Rei Ayanami (Plugsuit Ver.)” is also priced at 4,400 yen.
