A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

The Japanese collectibles company X-Plus Co., Ltd. has provided SciFi Japan with information and high-res photos of their second Godzilla vs. Evangelion Toho 30cm Series figure. The box office smash SHIN GODZILLA (??????, Shin Gojira) is co-directed by NEON GENESIS EVANGELION (???????????, Shin Seiki Evangerion) creator Hideaki Anno and his EVANGELION collaborator, Shinji Higuchi. To promote that connection, Toho Co. Ltd. and Anno`s Khara Inc. are collaborating on the "Godzilla vs. Evangelion" merchandising and marketing campaign featuring products from multiple licensees. X-Plus and Bandai are partnering on "Godzilla vs. Evangelion" figures, including a line based on the premise "What would happen if you put Godzilla cells in an Evangelion?" The first release -- a fusion of Godzilla and the Eva Unit-01 piloted by Shinji Hikari -- is scheduled for January 2017. A second figure has been announced for February, and is based on the "Rebuild of Evangelion" version of Eva Unit-02 as seen in EVANGELION: 2.0 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE (????????????:?, Evangerion Shin Gekijooban: Ha, 2009). Evangelion Unit-02 is depicted in "Beast Mode"; an animalistic attack form in which the Eva takes on a quadrupedal posture with extended jaws. The figure`s body is covered in classic elements of Godzilla, including the rocky skin texture, large dorsal fins and long tail. This item is sold exclusively by the Premium Bandai website and the EVANGELION STORE and will not be available from retail stores. Recommended for fans and collectors age 15 years and older.
