Kotobukiya released Souryuu Asuka Langley from Shin Seiki Evangelion in a 1/8 scale Casual Clothes version. Sculpted by Inagaki Hiroshi, the figure stands approximately 160mm tall and is made of PVC. It was priced at 3,800 JPY with product code 4934054778744, and released on June 30, 2007. Asuka Langley is one of the central characters in Neon Genesis Evangelion, serving as the pilot of Evangelion Unit-02. A child prodigy from Germany, Asuka is fiercely competitive, proud, and emotionally volatile, often masking deep-seated insecurities behind a brash exterior. Her relationship with fellow pilots Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanagi forms a core emotional axis of the series, which follows teenagers tasked with defending humanity against mysterious beings known as Angels using giant biomechanical mechs called Evangelions. Asuka's struggle with identity, trauma, and the pressure of piloting is one of the series' most compelling character arcs. The Casual Clothes version depicts Asuka outside of her plugsuit, offering a more grounded look at the character. The 2007 release date places this figure in an earlier generation of Evangelion collectibles, with the 3,800 JPY price point reflecting the market standards of that period.
