Good Smile Company has opened up pre-orders for a figma figure of Gendo Ikari from the Rebuild of Evangelion movie series. Now you can make this old man strike all sorts of poses instead of limiting yourself to the Gendo pose.
Pre-orders are open until September 25, 2024. Those in Japan can get him for 13,200 JPY and he’ll ship out some time in April 2025. As for those in North America, he costs $75.99 and will ship out some time in Q3 2025.
Like all figma, the Rebuild of Evangelion Gendo figure has ball joints for you to pose him however you want. He will also come with an additional face part if you don’t want to see him with the visor on his face. As well, he’ll come with multiple hand parts for a variety of poses. Some of the examples on Good Smile Company’s website show him on his knees and rubbing his head, as well as looking up to the sky.
Rebuild of Evangelion is a retelling of the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series in movie format. While the first two movies more or less depict the show, albeit with some new scenes and a new character, the third and fourth ones completely deviate from the series. Most of the merchandise coming out for Evangelion these days focus on Rebuild of Evangelion. For example, in 2024, a Misato (and Pen Pen) figure came out using her design from the first two films while Good Smile Company released plushes of the three heroines (which includes Rebuild original character Mari).
The Good Smile Company Gendo Ikari figma figure is open for pre-order until September 25, 2024.
