Evangelion Beastbox Kabuto-Eva Set Makes EVAs Into Beetles

AmiAmi is now accepting pre-orders for the Evangelion Beastbox Kabuto-Eva set, which depicts the EVA units 00, 01, and 02 as transformable beetles. The set is available to order from the AmiAmi online shop and is expected to release sometime in February, 2024.

The set includes all three EVA units, as well as a standee, container, and a card for each. The set currently costs ¥11,220 (approximately $76). Each of the models has a different horn, with unit 00 resembling that of a Stag beetle, 01 resembling a Hercules beetle, and 02 having the distinctive two-pronged horn of a Rhinocerous beetle. The beetles are articulated with deployable wings, or can be folded into a cube and stored in the accompanying square container.

Evangelion characters also featured in the Stardance Parade in Yokohama in late December, 2023, where they were depicted by illuminated flying drones.

The Evangelion Beastbox Kabuto-Eva beetles set is available to pre-order now from the AmiAmi website, with an expected release date of February, 2024. You can also check shipping details by country here. The Rebuild of Evangelion films are on Amazon, while the anime is on Netflix.
