It’s that time again! Time for large, expensive statues that cost lots of money. This time, we have two of them: a life-sized Rei Ayanami, and a human-sized Evangelion Unit-01.
As Nico Nico News reports, the Rei, which features the character in her plugsuit, is priced at 1,815,000 yen ($16,665). The official website notes the statues are limited to three per person!
The Unit-01 isn’t life-sized, as that would make the statue 246 feet tall. Rather, as the website points out, it’s “human-sized,” clocking in at 7.5 feet tall. This statue is outfitted with LED lights and priced at 3,003,000 yen ($27,570).
Likewise, limited to three per person! Goodness.
Pre-orders started this week in Japan, and the finished statues will begin delivery in early 2022.
