X-Plus Rei Ayanami 1/8 Model Kit Pre-Order | 40cm Lance of Longinus Scene
Attention, fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion and model kit enthusiasts! The renowned model manufacturer X-Plus has officially announced the "Rei Ayanami 1/8 Scale Assembly Model Kit." Pre-orders opened at the end of January 2026, with a scheduled release in June of the same year.
Moonlit Fantasy Scene: The Visual Impact of the Lance of Longinus
This Rei Ayanami assembly model features a unique "diorama model" design. Based on the concept of "a fantasy image of her holding the Lance of Longinus, bathed in moonlight," the base is meticulously crafted with steep rocks and a rust-covered water faucet, perfectly recreating the post-apocalyptic aesthetic of the original work.
Impressive Size and Display Effect
The Rei Ayanami figure itself stands approximately 20 cm tall. Including the Lance of Longinus and the base, the overall height reaches 40 cm, giving it a commanding presence in any display case.
Detailed Sculpting and User-Friendly Assembly Design
As a plastic assembly model kit, X-Plus demonstrates thoughtful consideration for builders:
- Exquisite Detail Reproduction: The tight folds of the white plugsuit and mechanical lines are faithfully sculpted.
- Pre-painted Face Part: Utilizes "tampography" printing to ensure precise eyes and lifelike expression.
- Snap-fit Design: Theoretically requires no glue, but the manufacturer recommends using model cement for reinforcement.
For painting experts, this unassembled, unpainted kit is a perfect canvas, allowing for shading techniques to enhance the three-dimensional feel under moonlight.
