Noted bishoujo illustrator/figure designer Shunya Yamashita (Kotobukiya's "Bishoujo" line of the super hero, game and movie characters) has teamed up with sculptor Mitsumasa Yoshizawa (REFLECT) for a "glamorous" new take on Rebuild of Evangelion's Rei Ayanami.

Presented by Flare, the 24cm figure is selling for 12,744yen ahead of an October release. In addition to her standard "cool" expression, the Evangelion store has an exclusive "smiling" version of the heroine in her revealing costume.
