Add a touch of poetry and mystery to your display cabinet with this exceptional 30 Minutes Preference Rei Ayanami (Plugsuit Ver.) model from Bandai (EAN code: 4573102691651). Drawing on the immense technical expertise developed for the 30 Minutes Sisters series, Bandai is launching, with this figure, a brand-new e-commerce collection dedicated to the most iconic heroines of Japanese pop culture, starting with the central character from Studio Khara’s legendary work.
The plastic engineering is second to none, resulting in a feminine silhouette with exemplary anatomical fluidity. The torso and hip joints interlock invisibly to preserve the clean lines of the number 00 Plugsuit, whilst the distinctive pale blue hair is moulded in multiple layers to create a strikingly natural texture. The kit stands out for the inclusion of the legendary Spear of Longinus, sculpted from bright red twisted plastic, as well as three faces pre-painted using fine pad printing to convey the full range of Rei’s subtle emotions. Entirely moulded from coloured injection-moulded plastic, this premium kit assembles without glue or paint and offers modular compatibility so you can create your own designs.
