New Stocks for Evangelion Unit 13 Model Kit Have Arrived

Kotobukiya has released a new batch of its 1/400 scale Evangelion Unit 13 model kit on April 16, 2024. People who have placed pre-orders since the company announced the new restocks in September 2023 can expect to have their items shipped in the coming days. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

Kotobukiya designed this model kit after the Evangelion Unit 13 that appeared in the 2012 movie Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. The 1/400 scale kit will stand at around 19 cm (~7.48 inches) when completed. The kit first appeared in late 2014, and Kotobukiya has since restocked the product multiple times, including in 2020. In early September 2023, the company announced the latest batch for the model kit with April 2024 as its release window.

In September 2014, GA Graphic uploaded a video showing a prototype of the model kit ahead of its first release in November 2014:

Unit 13 is not the only mech-related Evangelion merchandise to (re-)appear in 2024. Good Smile Company sold a limited number of metallic Unit 01 Moderoid kits in January 2024. CCSToys’ Mortal Mind action figure of the Evangelion Final Model from the Evangelion Anima novels has also appeared on the franchise’s official web store.

The 1/400 scale model kit of Evangelion Unit 13 from Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo is available to order from Kotobukiya and other partner retailers while stocks last.
