Evangelion Shin Gekijouban - Makinami Mari Illustrious - Rody (Bandai)Bandai

Bandai presents a figure of Mari Makinami Illustrious from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series, featuring the character in a Rody collaboration design. Mari Makinami Illustrious is an Evangelion pilot and third-party operative introduced in Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. She possesses an energetic and enigmatic personality, generally maintaining a positive mood even in combat. She enjoys piloting her Evangelion and sometimes sings to herself in the entry plug. Despite her apparent inexperience, she proves to be an expert pilot on the level of Asuka or higher, displaying extreme aggression in battle. She notably attempted to sacrifice herself to destroy the Third Angel by self-destructing Evangelion Provisional Unit-05, surviving only because the entry plug ejected seconds before the explosion. Her connection to an unknown third party and acquaintance with Ryoji Kaji raise questions about her true allegiances. This Bandai Rody figure combines Mari's character design with the iconic Rody ride-on toy aesthetic.
