Banpresto presents Souryuu Asuka Langley from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series as part of the Ichiban Kuji Evangelion 20th Anniversary line. This figure captures the fiery Eva pilot in a celebratory release. Asuka Langley Soryu is a child prodigy who pilots Evangelion Unit-02, possessing a fiery temper and overabundance of pride and self-confidence that often gets her in trouble. As a young girl, she discovered her mother's body after suicide, leading her to repress emotions and vow never to cry. She develops intense but ambiguous feelings toward Shinji, with their relationship marked by confused romantic attraction. Her pride often leads to trouble during battles. The Evangelion franchise has had a profound influence on the anime industry, with related goods earning over 150 billion yen by 2007 and pachinko machines generating 700 billion yen by 2015. Standing at 180mm tall, this ABS and PVC figure from Banpresto celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Evangelion franchise, offering collectors a special commemorative rendition of Asuka.
