Good Smile Company opened orders for two Evangelion Plamax models of Rei Ayanami again, and as before each one lets someone build a figure of the heroine from the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. They are identical to the original run. This means one involves the traditional version of Rei Ayanami with short hair, while the other includes the long hair version that appeared later. Each one costs ï¿¥7,700, regardless of the hairstyle. Both kits will ship in Japan in October 2025, with a worldwide release following after. The first run shipped in April 2024.
In each case, the model of Rei will involve her in her trademark white plugsuit. The only difference between the two is the length of her hair. The runners for the kit will already be in the correct colors, so you won’t need to do any large scale painting, however be advised that some finer details might require that. Good Smile Company noted it is ready for anyone of any experience level so it should snap together. I would recommend getting nippers for the smaller parts and to perhaps have some glue on hand just in case.
Here are photos Good Smile Company shared of the finished kits. Each one will be under eight inches (200mm) when done, and a stand is included.
It also shared two photos of some of the runners included in the kits.
Both model kits also have their own Good Smile Company Online Store exclusive purchase bonus. Each one comes with an additional runner with an extra hair part that cane be swapped in for the base models. These are still short or long hair for Rei Ayanami figures, but instead of being solid they are translucent options for the Evangelion models.
Here’s how those look:
The Evangelion Plamax models of Rei Ayanami will launch in October 2025, and the kits for the figures will appear worldwide after that. Pre-orders are open until May 14, 2025. The Rebuild of Evangelion movies are on Amazon.
