Rei Ayanami

Rei Ayanami is the First Child of the Evangelion programme in Rebuild of Evangelion, a pilot stationed at NERV's base in Tokyo-3 and a classmate of Shinji Ikari. She speaks in short, flat lines, and that stillness is what her figures are built to capture.

What makes Rei Ayanami stand out

• Pilot of Unit-00 As the First Child she is assigned to Evangelion Unit-00, the programme's prototype machine, and that role is what puts the pilot suit, the interface headset and the entry plug into her figure designs.
• A design with three fixed points Pale blue hair cut short, red eyes and a white plugsuit with dark shoulders make her recognisable from across a shelf. The palette barely changes between entries, so the interest in each release comes from the pose and the finish.
• Quiet rather than active Where other pilots are sculpted mid-strike, Rei is usually standing, sitting or looking away, so the interest sits in the tilt of the head or the set of the hands.
• Long hair as a separate design The later Rebuild films give her a long-haired look that has become a run of its own, with a standard figure, an XL size and a model kit all built around that version.

What this collection covers

The range runs from large fixed-pose work to very small pieces. MegaHouse's G.E.M. series and the Pop Up Parade XL release sit at the big end, with standard Pop Up Parade and SPM prize figures in the middle. Small formats include Figuarts mini, the deformed Hello Good Smile line and palm-size Lookup figures. PLAMAX plastic model kits and a KADOKAWA Newtype cover piece fill out the rest.
