Pre-orders are now open for the plugsuit Nendoroids of Rei Ayanami and Asuka Shikinami Langley from Rebuild of Evangelion. The figures are set to ship in July 2025, and they are specifically based on Evangelion 2.0. They are ¥6,800 (~$43) each.
The two Nendoroids depict Rei and Asuka in their plugsuits from Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. Pre-orders for both figures are available through the Good Smile Company website until February 12, 2025, though other retailers will start taking pre-orders ahead of launch as well. The Nendoroids are only available separately, as there’s no option to buy them together. Each figure comes with a special round base if ordered direct through Good Smile Company, with each one depicting each girl’s respective Eva designation. Rei gets a yellow base depicting the logo for Eva Unit-00, and Asuka gets a red base depicting the logo of Eva Unit-02
The Rei plugsuit Nendoroid comes with three facial expressions – serious, surprised and smiling – and she also has Gendo’s glasses case as an accessory. The Asuka plugsuit Nendoroid also has three expressions – energetic, glancing away and blushing – and her accessory is the hand puppet she speaks to in the Rebuild of Evangelion series.

Good Smile Company first announced the plugsuit variant Nendoroids of Rei and Asuka at Smile Fest 2024. However, no prototype for either figure was shown at the time. They’re not the first Nendoroids of the Evangelion girls, as Good Smile previously announced doll variants wearing their school uniforms, also from Rebuild of Evangelion.
The Rei and Asuka plugsuit Nendoroids are available to pre-order now. They will be shipped in July 2025. The Rebuild of Evangelion films are available on Amazon.
