Evangelion Shin Gekijouban - Ayanami Rei - 1/8 - Qipao ver. (Banpresto)Ayanami Rei · 1/8 · Banpresto

Banpresto presents Ayanami Rei from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series in a 1/8 scale Qipao ver. This figure captures the iconic Eva pilot wearing a traditional Chinese qipao dress. Rei Ayanami is the withdrawn pilot of Evangelion Unit-00, a clone created from the salvaged remains of Yui Ikari. Plagued by negative self-worth as she realizes she is an expendable asset, Rei initially despises Shinji for his lack of trust in his father Gendo. After they defeat the Angel Ramiel together, she takes a friendly liking to him. The distinctive aesthetic appeal of Rei's design contributed significantly to the high sales of Evangelion merchandise, with media referring to her as Premium Girl due to strong sales of books featuring her on the cover. The series features archetypal imagery derived from Shinto cosmology and mystical Judeo-Christian religions and traditions. This 1/8 scale figure stands approximately 230mm tall and is made from ABS and PVC. The Qipao ver. presents Rei in traditional Chinese attire, offering a unique and elegant interpretation of the character outside her usual pilot context.
