Shin Seiki Evangelion - Ayanami Rei (Kaiyodo, Xebec Toys)Ayanami Rei · Kaiyodo

Kaiyodo's Ayanami Rei figure, produced in collaboration with Xebec Toys, is a vintage collectible from the Shin Seiki Evangelion franchise. Sculpted by Teraoka Kuniaki, this figure represents one of the earliest high-quality renditions of the enigmatic character and was priced at 2,980 JPY upon release. Neon Genesis Evangelion follows teenager Shinji Ikari as he is recruited by his estranged father to pilot the biomechanical Evangelion Unit-01 against monstrous beings known as Angels. Rei Ayanami, the pilot of Evangelion Unit-00, is a quiet and emotionally distant girl whose mysterious origins are deeply tied to the series' central mysteries. Her connection to Shinji's late mother and to the organization NERV's true agenda makes her one of the most pivotal and debated characters in anime history. This figure was part of the Wonder Showcase Plus line, reflecting Kaiyodo's commitment to detailed character collectibles during the late 1990s.
