EVANGELION - Rei "Uniform" - Figure High Premium 20cm

This figurine from Sega Goods’ famous High Premium (HPM) range features the mysterious and iconic First Qualified from the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime franchise: Rei Ayanami.

The figurine stands approximately 20 cm tall, making it an ideal piece to blend seamlessly into a display cabinet or on a manga shelf. Unlike the versions that commonly depict her in her combat suit (Plugsuit), this classic model features her ‘Uniform’ version. The design captures the young girl in her Tokyo-3 Municipal Junior High School uniform, consisting of an azure blue pinafore dress topped with a white short-sleeved shirt and a small red bow. The sculpture emphasises a posture of great simplicity and melancholic neutrality, faithfully reflecting the character’s temperament. Crafted from high-quality PVC plastic, the piece features meticulous paintwork, particularly to recreate the distinctive red hue of her eyes and the highlights in her pale blue hair.

This collector’s item is primarily aimed at fans of the legendary work of Gainax studio and director Hideaki Anno, enthusiasts of 1990s animation, and collectors of historic figurines by Sega Goods. The product is supplied mounted on its dedicated display stand and packaged in its original cardboard box.

In the psychological science fiction masterpiece Neon Genesis Evangelion, Rei Ayanami is the officially designated pilot for Evangelion Unit-00 (Eva-00), a colossal humanoid weapon built by the secret organisation NERV to repel the destructive assaults of extraterrestrial entities known as ‘Angels’. Presented at the start of the story as a shy, taciturn teenager completely devoid of any self-preservation instinct, Rei obeys only the strict orders of Commander Gendo Ikari, with whom she has a special and ambivalent relationship. Behind her vacant expressions and her past, which has been erased from official records, lies one of NERV’s deepest technological and spiritual secrets. She embodies a major and deeply philosophical figure in Japanese pop culture, whose school uniform symbolises the tragic contrast between her quest for an ordinary human life and her fate as a sacrificial figure in the face of global apocalyptic threats.
