On June 25 arrives on the shelves of the store Shikinami Japanese Asuka Langley plug suit ver. Produced in 1/6 scale by Kotobukiya and inspired by the animated feature film of the third cycle Rebuild of Evangelion "Evangelion 3.0 You Can (not) Redo":

The static comes packaged in a clear acetate box (with dimensions of 29 x 21 x 15 cm) which continues the same stylistic choices of the rest of the collection, allowing you to admire from outside the box contents, or the figures that reproduces Asuka, the bust Eva Unit-02 Gamma ver. heroin and the distinctive helmet worn in the new film:

Divinely sculpted by Tsukuru Shirahige, author of the entire collection that boasts the presence of all the children (except for Shinji Ikari) and Misato Katsuragi, this new and imaginative interpretation of the red heroine enjoys a modeling job absolutely over the top, which excels as much in similarity in the reproduction of physical features of the girl, placed on the bust of its Evangelion posing proud and erect, highlighting every detail of his anatomy.
The first element to attract attention is the canopy, carved with great skill, and able to convey a strong sense of movement while remaining compact enough not to distort the classic look of Asuka. The face, in its simplicity, has the right amount of solids and voids, and for the first time you can see the contour mapping of the nostrils, element usually absent in previous reproductions.

Asuka's hair are made ​​with the typical semi-transparent material also known by the previous output, but more mellow decorated with a paint that lets a minimal amount of light, making the effect much better looking than the first publication. The face is substantially simple, but the large blue eye and mouth also fulfill as regards the coloring. Turning to the plug suit, this is the strongest element, as well as the most convincing, as the coloring thick and pasty goes well with the glossy finish, but does not exceed, and let the contrasts being made ​​with satin areas confer greater light to everything. Details are decorated with a good degree of accuracy, and if some trimming of red can turn up their noses at the nodes of the classic, the rich green band, the number 02 on his chest and orange plaque on the shoulders make you forget the small imperfections due to mass production. Intense and convincing then the black, especially inside the gloves, able to give a hard time to the reproduction of Vertex . Less clear is the coloration of the sole of the boots, but it is fortunately a little detail in sight and therefore negligible:
