Evangelion Shin Gekijouban - Makinami Mari Illustrious - Summer Queens - 1/8 (Our Treasure)Makinami Mari Illustrious · 1/8 · Our Treasure

Our Treasure presents Makinami Mari Illustrious from Evangelion Shin Gekijouban (the Rebuild of Evangelion film series) in their Summer Queens line at 1/8 scale. This pre-painted model kit stands approximately 215mm tall, is made from ABS and PVC, and was sculpted by Ousaka Miki and Yoshiyuki Sano. The figure was released on July 31, 2021. Mari Illustrious is a confident and eccentric EVA pilot introduced in the Rebuild of Evangelion films, distinct from the original TV series cast. Unlike the other pilots who struggle with deep psychological trauma, Mari approaches battle with enthusiasm and a playful attitude, famously wearing her glasses even inside the entry plug. She pilots Evangelion Unit-05 and later Unit-08, and her mysterious background and connections to various factions within the story add layers of intrigue to the Rebuild narrative. Her cheerful demeanor in the face of apocalyptic events provides a stark contrast to the more somber tone of the original Evangelion series. The Summer Queens line offers an accessible entry point for Evangelion figure collectors, and this 1/8 scale pre-painted model kit captures Mari's spirited personality in a detailed, display-ready format.
