Good Smile Company reveals Nendoroid Shikinami Asuka Langley: Test Suit Ver.
Good Smile Company has announced a new addition to its popular Nendoroid line, based on Evangelion’s Asuka.
The reveal of the new Nendoroid Shikinami Asuka Langley: Test Suit Ver. was made during the company’s “NENDOROID FUNS” live stream, an event dedicated to showcasing upcoming figure releases.
Rebuild of Evangelion is a tetralogy of animated films that reinterprets and continues the story of the seminal Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series.
The franchise is a cultural touchstone in Japan and globally, known for its complex psychological themes, iconic mecha (Evangelions), and memorable characters.
Shikinami Asuka Langley is a prominent character in the Rebuild series, serving as the pilot of Evangelion Unit-02.
Nendoroids are a range of small, articulated figures known for their “chibi” or “super deformed” aesthetic, featuring oversized heads and interchangeable parts. This design allows for a wide array of poses and expressions, making them popular among collectors.
The announcement of Asuka in her test suit is likely to be met with interest from fans of the Evangelion films, as this particular outfit has become a fan favorite over the years.
While specific details regarding the figure’s accessories, potential alternate face plates, pricing, and release date were not immediately available beyond the initial announcement, such information is typically provided by Good Smile Company in the weeks following a reveal.
