■ About the Figures
Godzilla vs Evangelion is a collaborative work designed in honor of Evangelion’s creator Hideaki Anno working as co-director for the newest film in the Godzilla franchise, Godzilla Resurgence (premiering July 29, 2016). Mechagodzilla (or MFS-3) appeared in the 2002 film Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and the 2003 film Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., and has been recolored based on Evangelion Unit-01 and Unit-02 for these figures.
It’s highly detailed at 32 centimeters, looking like it’s letting out a roar to intimidate Godzilla, and it’s covered in armor complete with its characteristic rockets. The Unit-01 version recreates Mechagodzilla based on its Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla appearance and has given it new life with that famous purple as its base and yellow and green details. The Unit-02 version catches your attention with its bright red and is based on its Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. appearance, capturing those subtle changes. Standing together, they’re a force to be reckoned with!

■ About Godzilla vs Evangelion
Since its first appearance in 1954, more than 60 years have passed for Godzilla, a famous and hugely representative figure for Japan worthy of the title King of Monsters. Since its broadcast in 1995, the TV anime Evangelion has earned the love of fans all over for defying classic anime rules.
This Godzilla vs Evangelion project came about as a result of Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno being chosen as co-director for the latest film in the Godzilla series, Godzilla Resurgence, and is the first time these two behemoths have ever crossed paths. It’s been expanding through events, promotions, and merchandise with help from Godzilla Resurgence.
