New Evangelion Model Kit Features the Fearsome Unit-13
Kaiyodo has officially revealed an exciting new model kit featuring the fearsome Evangelion Unit-13 from the Rebuild of Evangelion series.
The latest ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS release brings the towering bio-mechanical giant to life in a highly detailed plastic assembly format.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is a landmark anime series that began in 1995, completely revolutionizing the genre with its psychological depth and complex narratives.
The story focused on the devastating conflicts between humanity and mysterious beings known as Angels.
The Rebuild of Evangelion film series offers a modern retelling of the original story, introducing new characters, upgraded mechanical designs, and completely unexpected plot developments.
Evangelion Unit-13 is a powerful and mysterious bio-machine introduced in the later films of the series.
Piloted by both Shinji Ikari and Kaworu Nagisa, the unit features a unique four-armed design and plays a central role in the apocalyptic events of the story.
This upcoming plastic model kit is titled “The Last Executor” and captures a thrilling moment from the theatrical films.
The design showcases the massive Evangelion Unit-13 completely overwhelming Evangelion Unit-02 Alpha while the latter has its secret “Backdoor Code 999” protocol activated.
Renowned sculptor Shinobu Matsumura, who previously created the popular “Evangelion Unit-01 Rampage” figure, handled the original prototype for this release.
The kit faithfully translates his incredible sculpting work into plastic, capturing the intricate textures of the armor and the underlying biological muscles.
The base of the model features the defeated Unit-02 Alpha lying beneath the feet of the victorious Unit-13, adding a dramatic narrative element to the display.
The main body is molded in a dark violet color, while the included Spear of Longinus features a clear red material, creating a striking contrast in textures.
The non-scale model stands at an impressive height of approximately 22cm.
When factoring in the tip of the massive Spear of Longinus, the total height reaches around 32cm.
The kit is priced at 9,900 yen (approx. $66 USD / £52 GBP), and pre-orders opened on Friday, February 20, 2026, at the official Kaiyodo online store in Japan and other hobby goods retailers, such as HobbyLink Japan.
Shipping for the Evangelion Unit-13 ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS model kit is scheduled to take place in May 2026.
