Neon Genesis Evangelion Is Getting A Bunch Of New Collectibles, And Some Are Wildly Expensive
Evangelion fans with deep pockets have an excellent range of collectibles to choose from. The cult-classic anime series has a signature style, and over the years, that nihilistic and mechanized art direction has aged surprisingly well. The EVA units of the series are still some of the best mech designs ever seen in animation, the character designs for the cast still look great, and right now you can preorder plenty of merchandise based on the series and its later films.
If you're looking to outfit your home or office with some cool Evangelion gear, we've rounded up all the available preorders from the Crunchyroll store. Some of these are premium collectibles with premium prices, but if you're looking to acquire something that's an instant attention-grabber, these items certainly won't disappoint.
We've also highlighted several more affordable items, like Nendoroids. These are cute little collectibles and can be posed in a variety of ways. Our top pick here is the Gendo Ikari Nendoroid, purely because it comes with a little desk so that you can recreate the character's trademark --and sinister!--pose.
Neon Genesis Evangelion Blu-rays
Before we dive into the new figures: In case you need to add the anime series to your collection, Amazon has some deals and noteworthy Blu-rays that are worth checking out. The complete box set comes with all 26 episodes and the controversial films Evangelion: Death (true) and The End of Evangelion.
You can also pick up the Blu-rays for the Rebuild of Evangelion films, which both remake and reinvent the storyline. It's also worth noting that you can stream the movies on Amazon Prime Video.

We're starting this list with the main event, because if you're looking for a real showpiece to induce some whiplash into Evangelion fans when they enter your hangout room, this Crunchyroll exclusive is bound to twist some vertebrae.
Made up of two individual EVA units joined together, this is a new run of the Operation Yashima Statue Unit-00 and Unit-01 statues that were previously available exclusively in China in 2020. For their global release, these EVA units have received a new metallic paint job, and this scene recaptures an action-packed moment from Evangelion: 1.0 You Are [Not] Alone.
Both units rest on top of a battlefield base, and you're going to need a lot of space to display these two technological titans. Each edition comes with a unique printed serial number on a display plate to hammer home the high-end nature of this collectible. Alternatively, each EVA unit is available separately for $900 each.
Evangelion Unit-01 Statue (Operation Yashima Premium Metallic Color Version) -- $900
Evangelion Unit-00 Statue (Operation Yashima Premium Metallic Color Version) -- $900
Evangelion Unit-01 Alloy Action Figure (Final Model Version -- $413
What would an EVA unit look like with a modern-day makeover? This new version of Shinji's Unit-01 EVA from CCS Toys answers that question, as it recreates the distinctive form of the Final Model, showing off updated design specs and incorporating alloy parts throughout it. It's fully articulated and comes with iconic armaments such as the Power 8, Magoroku Exterminate Sword, and Lucretius Spear. You can even give it an angelic upgrade with light-wing effect parts, and at almost 12 inches in height, it's a pretty imposing figure to have on your shelf.
