ACGN 02 Studio Evangelion Asuka & Rei Statue: Three Routes at 1/6

Evangelion merchandise has been running for thirty years.

The series ended, returned as films, and settled into a permanent place in the hobby, which means the cast still supports new releases every year.

Asuka and Rei appear more often than anyone else in that merchandise.

The Evangelion Asuka Statue from ACGN 02 Studio covers both characters at 1/6 scale, with a listed height in the 16–25 cm range.

It also offers three purchase routes.

Three Purchase Routes

The listing offers Asuka on her own, Rei on her own, or the combo.

That structure suits different collectors. Anyone who wants one design buys one design without paying for a second, and anyone who wants the pairing buys the version the studio designed first.

Paired versions usually carry the smaller production number, because fewer buyers commit to both characters at once.

If the pairing is what appeals, the combo is the version that holds its value.

Why the Two Characters Pair Well

Asuka and Rei are written as opposites.

One is loud, competitive and defined by motion. The other is quiet, reserved and defined by stillness.

That contrast works on a shelf. Two figures with opposite silhouettes read as a deliberate arrangement rather than a duplication.

It also means a sculptor has two distinct problems to solve, which tends to produce more interesting work than a single-character release.

One Sixth at 16–25 cm

The statues sit in the 16–25 cm bracket, which keeps them inside standard cabinet dimensions.

Two figures at this size share a shelf without crowding, and the display stays flexible if you add more pieces later.

It also keeps shipping manageable, which matters on a multi-character purchase.

Check the footprint rather than the height. Two figures on separate bases take more width than a single release.

Reading the Sculpt

Three details decide whether a paired release works.

Faces come first, and they carry the recognition.

The costumes come second. Plugsuit sections mix matte and glossy finishes, and those need clear separation.

The bases come third. Two bases have to look intentional together, since collectors often display the pair side by side.

Compare the gallery against all three before committing.

Price, Deposit and Payment

Pre-orders run from a $109 deposit against an $879 full payment, depending on the configuration.

That spread covers both single characters and the combo, so confirm which version the listed price suits.

The deposit option reserves a piece now and settles the balance later.

Freight stays moderate on a 1/6 release, and the box fits standard shipping limits.

Display and Lighting

The plugsuit palette runs red and purple against pale tones.

Warm light pushes both toward brown and flattens the contrast. Cold light drains the skin tones instead.

A neutral source from above and slightly in front keeps all three readable.

Place the pair at or slightly below eye level, and keep it out of direct sun.

Care and Storage

Dust with a soft brush rather than a cloth, working from the top downward.

Where the surface needs more, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap and dry it completely.

Keep the original packaging for both figures. Two-character sets lose value quickly once the boxes disappear.

Where It Fits in an Evangelion Shelf

Evangelion collections usually build around the pilots, and the two lead characters anchor most of them.

A paired release gives that arrangement a centre, and it covers the two figures most collectors want first.

Collectors who already own one of the two will find the combo completes the pairing rather than repeating it.

Evangelion Merchandise and Pairing

Evangelion has one of the largest merchandise catalogues in the hobby.

Three decades of releases means almost every character has been produced several times, at several scales, by several studios.

That volume makes a new release harder to justify on character alone. A piece has to offer something the existing options do not, whether that is scale, finish or a pairing that fills a gap.

Pairing two pilots in one release does that. Collectors who already own solo pieces of both characters end up with an arrangement they could not easily assemble otherwise.

It also gives the shelf a composition rather than another row of individual figures, which matters once a collection has grown past a certain size.

Who This Statue Is For

Evangelion collectors will find this covers two characters from the same cast in a single release.

It also suits anyone who displays pairs rather than lineups.

And for collectors who already own one of the two figures, the combo completes the arrangement.

The Evangelion Asuka Statue suits a shelf that already carries Evangelion pieces.

Bring the Pilots Home

If one or both characters belong in your collection, you can compare the versions on the product page.

Would you display this Evangelion Asuka statue as a pair with Rei, or add just one pilot to your shelf?
