Evangelion Unit-01 joins the "Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi " line with new Rebuild inspired figure

Kaiyodo has officially opened pre-orders for its much anticipated “Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Evangelion Unit-01” action figure.

This new figure will give fans the chance to own a high quality representation of the iconic Evangelion Unit-01 as it appears in the recent Rebuild of Evangelion film series.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, which first aired in 1995, is a seminal anime series known for its psychological depth, complex characters, and groundbreaking mecha design.

The Rebuild of Evangelion series is a tetralogy of animated movies that re-imagines and continues the original story.

Evangelion Unit-01, piloted by Shinji Ikari, is the most recognizable and central Evangelion unit and can be distinguished by its purple and green color scheme and its often berserk, unpredictable nature.

The “Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi” line is particularly celebrated for its dynamic articulation.

These figures prioritize extreme poseability and expressive stances, making them ideal for recreating intense action scenes.

This new Evangelion Unit-01 figure benefits from the expertise of Kaiyodo’s product development team, as it is based a completely new sculpt that “pursues both mobility and styling under the overall direction of Katsuhisa Yamaguchi.”

This ensures that the figure not only looks accurate to its animated counterpart, but can also achieve a wide range of dramatic poses seen in the original source material.

The figure comes equipped with a comprehensive set of accessories that allow for the recreation of various memorable scenes from the Evangelion films, particularly Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.

The basic equipment provided includes a Pallet Rifle (the standard firearm of the Evangelions), a Prog Knife (close-combat blade), replacement parts to recreate the opening and closing of the shoulder container where the Prog Knife is stored, and the essential umbilical cable (power cable).

This figure also comes with the “Spear of Cassius” that Evangelion Unit-01 famously wielded in Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, allowing fans to recreate climactic moments from the final film.

In addition to a standard head with an opening and closing jaw, a damaged interchangeable head version is also provided.

This highly detailed accessory allows collectors to recreate the dramatic battle scene with the Fourth Angel, adding a layer of realism and narrative depth to their display.

The figure is planned for release in February 2026 and it is priced at 11,000 yen (approx. $76.12 USD / £56.16 GBP).

Given the on-going popularity of the Evangelion franchise and the reputation of the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi line, demand for this figure is expected to be high.
