In later Rebuild of Evangelion movies, Rei uses a black plugsuit. In Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0, she gets more redesigns as well as part of the story, although her new appearances could be considered spoilers.
Other Amakuni and Hobby Japan figures include the figure of Tae Takemi, the doctor confidant from Persona 5, which received a re-release back in April 2023.
