Ever wanted to wear Pen Pen or Mari underpants?

After commenting on the recent typhoon and the summer weather, the blog for the Evangelion store revealed a new collaboration with 3RDWARE that sports six hot new pairs of Eva boxer shorts.

The pants will be shipping in August for 4,935 yen ($60).

"Test Plug"

"Pen^2"

"Awakening First Unit"

"Mari"

"Rei"

"Multiple Units"

The blog also showed off a new RumiRockxEVA Eyepatch Asuka sports towel

Meanwhile, more goods have been added to the Evangelion x Hello Kitty collaboration.

In addition to the t-shirts, there's now...

gashapon capsule collectibles

jigsaw puzzle

pocket books

tote bags

pouches

cell straps

And, in terms of other cool, but not merch-related Eva things to look at: As previously reported, from July 14 to September 17 the Bizen Osafune Japanese Sword Museum in Setouchi will showcase swords made by craftsmen based on anime weapons. The centerpiece of this exhibit will be a three-meter-long, 30-kilogram recreation of Evangelion's Spear of Longinus.





There's an attractive new flyer for the event.
