Plex has revealed a new figure of the Type-3 Kiryu Mechagodzilla adorned with the Evangelion Unit-01 colors. The company has also opened pre-orders for the figure on the Japanese Premium Bandai web store. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
The figure’s official name will be “Toei Great Kaiju Series – Type-3 Kiryu (2002) Heavy Armament Type, EVA Unit-01 Color.” It will be available with a price tag of 30,800 yen (~$203). The figure will have an overall height of around 29 cm (11.42 in) and a length of 36 cm (14.17 in).
Plex did not mention whether the figure would have any movable parts. Instead, it confirmed a focus on the lighting gimmicks. The figure’s package will come with a power supply unit to light up the yellow eyes. In addition, the owner will be able to use a blacklight/ultraviolet flashlight to make the green parts glow with fluorescent effects in the dark.
Here are some of the sample images showing the figure from various angles, along with its dimensions and lighting gimmicks:
Plex has also confirmed that this new figure will be part of the Godzilla VS Evangelion crossover project. Earlier in May 2024, Bandai revealed an Evangelion Unit-01 Burning G Awakening Form figure, which shows Shinji’s unit getting fused with the Godzilla.
The Toei Kaiju figure of the 2002 Type-3 Kiryu with Heavy Armaments and Evangelion Unit-01 colors will be available in February 2025.
