Detailed new replica lets you take the Evangelion pachinko experience home
Movic has announced a unique collectible to celebrate two decades of Neon Genesis Evangelion presence in Japanese pachinko parlors.
The new item is a faithful reproduction of the interface from the popular 2021 machine “Neon Genesis Evangelion ~Roar to the Future~” which is widely recognized by fans for its massive physical controls.
The IMPACT Lever Replica allows fans to experience the tactile excitement of the original game from the comfort of their own home.
Users can engage a release switch that causes the device to emit a flashing red LED light as the lever extends.
Pushing the lever in triggers a simulated “Win” or “Loss” sequence similar to the actual machine.
A successful hit results in a colorful light display and vibration that lasts for approximately ten seconds, whereas a losing result sees the lights extinguish immediately.
The device is constructed from ABS and stainless steel materials and requires three AA batteries to operate the lighting and vibration gimmicks.
This release coincides with other major franchise news, specifically the announcement of a new short animation for the Evangelion 30th Anniversary festival.
The IMPACT Lever Replica is priced at 8,800 yen (approx. $60.00 USD / £47.00 GBP).
It will initially be available as a prize in select pachinko halls starting on the 23rd of December.General sales through the EVANGELION STORE, Movic, and Animate locations are scheduled to begin in late January 2026.
