Evangelion Rei and Asuka Plush Will Get Bigger

The Kuripan plush toys of Rei Ayanami and Asuka Shikinami Langley from the Rebuild of Evangelion movies will re-appear in 2025 in a bigger size than before. Good Smile Company opened a new listing for the Big Kuripan plush toys featuring both characters on both its Japanese international and North American-exclusive stores. Each plush will be available at ¥18,700 / $112.99.

Good Smile Company originally released the smaller plush toys in Japan in September 2024 and North America in Q1 2025. The newly revealed plushies are based on the same characters’ appearances in Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, but they will have a bigger size with an approximate height of 40 cm (15.74 inches). The company has also shared sample images that show how the new plushies will be around twice the size of the original releases.

There is a caveat to these new releases, though. The original Kuripan plush toys released in 2024 included Mari Makinami Illustrious as the third character. The listings for the newer and bigger plushies only feature Rei and Asuka, with Mari nowhere to be seen on the pages.

The Big Kuripan plush toys of Rei Ayanami and Asuka Shikinami Langley from Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance will be available to ship from Japan in June 2025 and the US in Q4 2025. Good Smile Company will close the pre-order window on March 19, 2025.
