Good Smile Opens Orders for New Nendoroid of Evangelion’s Asuka
Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for a new figure of Asuka Shikinami Langley based on her appearance in the acclaimed anime film series, Rebuild of Evangelion.
The “Nendoroid Asuka Shikinami Langley Jersey Ver.” depicts the fiery mecha pilot wearing her casual track jacket.
The Nendoroid line is recognized for taking detailed anime characters and condensing them into palm-sized chibi proportions.
These miniature figures are popular with collectors due to their articulation and interchangeable parts, which allow for a variety of display options.
Rebuild of Evangelion is a cinematic reimagining of the groundbreaking mecha series that redefined the animation industry.
The story follows teenagers tasked with piloting massive biomechanical units to defend humanity from enigmatic beings known as Angels.
Asuka Shikinami Langley serves as the highly skilled and fiercely competitive pilot of Evangelion Unit-02.
This new release captures her post-timeskip appearance, where she sports an eyepatch and her signature red outerwear.
Fans can change her expression using three included face plates, featuring a harsh glare, a soft smile, and a comical angry look.
The figure also comes with a miniature handheld game console accessory to recreate her downtime moments from the movies.
The non-scale figure stands at approximately 10cm in height and includes a standard clear base for stable posing.
Purchasing this item through the official Good Smile Company online shop includes a special base as a pre-order bonus.
Fans can secure the “Nendoroid Asuka Shikinami Langley Jersey Ver.” for 7,200 yen (approx. $46 USD/£36 GBP) during the pre-order period, which opened on May 29, 2026, and will close on July 8, 2026.
The figure is expected to ship to fans in December 2026 and can be purchased via the Good Smile Company Online Store or via reputable hobby goods retailers, such as HobbyLink Japan.
