Good Smile Company showcased three Rebuild of Evangelion figures at WonHobby 39, with two being Asuka Shikinami Langley and Rei Ayanami swimsuit figures that are part of the company’s Beach Queens collection and Pop Up Parade lines. The third is a Qset+ Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji Ikari figure.
Both the Asuka and Rei figures are the two that we’ll see appear first. Both appeared at the painted prototype phase at the event. Since they’re Pop Up Parade figures, they won’t come with extra parts or accessories. However, they are part of the Pop Up Parade L line, so they’ll be larger than seven inches like standard models. Asuka has a red and white striped swim tank on with a cover up and wears jean shorts. She’s holding a squirt gun and looks like she’s running in her pose. Rei is wearing a white bikini with blue hoodie over it. She’s standing while holding a white and yellow inflatable tube.
Here’s how the Asuka and Rei Rebuild of Evangelion swimsuit figures look:
We saw a few other Beach Queens figures announced last year in 2024. However, those weren’t of Evangelion heroines. Rather, they were Alice, Asuna, and Leafa from Sword Art Online. We’ll start seeing some of those appear in stores in 2025.
Meanwhile, the Qset+ Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji Ikari figure only showed up as an unpainted prototype. The two are sitting next to each other and smiling while wearing school uniforms. They’re listening to music from Shinji’s SDAT player together, with each one having one of the two headphones in their ears.
This is the most recent photo of that one:
There’s no release window yet for the Rebuild of Evangelion Beach Queens Asuka and Rei swimsuit figures yet or Qset+ Kaworu and Shinji figure. The four Rebuild of Evangelion movies are on Amazon.
