FromEVANGELION:3.0+1.0 THRICE UPON A TIME, Rei Ayanami is joining Kotobukiya's figure lineup with an affectionate gaze in her eyes. As seen inEVANGELION:3.0+1.0 THRICE UPON A TIME, this Rei comes to life as a 1:6 scale figure, which depicts her with long hair just as she appears in the final act.
Everything from the original posing design to the actual making of the sculpt was managed by Tsukuru Shirahige, the craftsman behind many of the Evangelion statues in this series. All carefully calculated, her long and beautifully flowing hair, downcast eyes, and gentle smile give off a motherly warmth and compassion. Even her eyelashes have been carefully sculpted in order to bring more depth to her expression and further accentuate her downcast eyes. Subtle changes in expression can also be seen by viewing the figure from different angles.
