The Chinese designer toy company WASA has teamed up with Studio Khara to bring us a delightful fusion of art and anime: the Neon Genesis Evangelion x WASA Figurines. These charming collectibles have recently made their way to Japan, much to the excitement of fans.
Standing at approximately 13 centimeters (about 5 inches) tall, these figures feature a distinctive deformed design that adds a playful twist to the iconic Evangelion units. The lineup includes six known variants—Unit-00, Unit-01, Unit-02, Unit-03, Mark.06, and Unit-08—plus a secret figure for collectors to hunt down.
Each figure comes with a base that doubles as a smartphone stand, blending functionality with fandom. Now, your favorite EVA unit can hold your phone while you binge-watch the series for the umpteenth time.
These figures are sold in blind boxes, adding an element of surprise to each purchase. A single figure is priced at 2,980 yen (excluding tax), and a box containing six figures is available for 17,880 yen [JP] (excluding tax). The assortment is designed to prevent duplicates within a single box, ensuring a diverse collection with each purchase.
Released in December 2024, these figures are available at hobby shops, retail stores, and online shops across Japan. Whether you’re a die-hard Evangelion fan or a collector of designer toys, these figurines offer a unique and functional addition to your collection.
Folks outside of Japan and China who are keen can secure a set of 6 blind boxes for US$102.62 from Bombusbee.com.
