Evangelion Shin Gekijouban - Ikari Shinji - Nendoroid (#1260) (Good Smile Company)Ikari Shinji · Good Smile Company

Good Smile Company presents Ikari Shinji from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series as part of their Nendoroid line, product number 1260. This chibi-style figure captures the series protagonist in an adorable format. Shinji Ikari is the protagonist of Evangelion, recruited by his estranged father Gendo to pilot Evangelion Unit-01 in the futuristic city of Tokyo-3. After witnessing his mother Yui's death as a child, Shinji was abandoned by his father. He is emotionally hypersensitive and sometimes does as expected out of fear of rejection, yet has often rebelled and refused to pilot the Eva due to the harm done to him and his friends. Throughout the series, he repeats I mustn't run away as encouragement, though he has a lingering habit of withdrawing from traumatic events. Director Anno described him as a boy who shrinks from human contact and has convinced himself he is completely unnecessary. Sculpted by Nendoron and Design Coco, this figure stands approximately 100mm tall and is made from ABS and PVC. Priced at $34.99 USD, it offers a charming interpretation of the complex protagonist.
