There was both an Evangelion Rei Ayanami figure announcement and a model kit reveal at WonHobby 36. Good Smile Company showed off prototypes of both. The figure is of Rei Ayanami back when she was used as a model for the Kate Tokyo makeup commercial for a new lipstick. The model is a part of a continuing line of Evangelion heroines in their plugsuits.
First, here’s the Rei Ayanami ~Red Rouge~ figure prototype. It’s already showing up painted, which could mean pre-orders for it may appear soon. She’s wearing a casual outfit, as well as the red lipstick from the ad.

Not long ago, Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for both the standard and Sculptor’s White versions of that Mari Illustrious Makinami PLAMAX model.
There’s no release date yet for the figure or model kit. The Rebuild of Evangelion films are available to watch on Amazon.
