Banpresto Evangelion Rei Ayanami 3rd Impact figure JAPAN 2012 box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Officially licensed figurine depicting the character Rei Ayanami from the anime series "Neon Genesis Evangelion." This model, visible through its original display box, is produced by Banpresto and features "3rd IMPACT" on the packaging. The figurine is presented in a box that is predominantly light blue with a white gradient, with inscriptions in English and Japanese, as well as the Banpresto logo in the upper right. The packaging also highlights the label 一番くじ (Ichiban Kuji), indicating an edition specific to the Japanese market.

Rei Ayanami is depicted in a white plug suit, faithful to the character's design in the "3rd Impact" arc. Costume details include red and black elements on the shoulders, as well as technical markings visible on the chest and arms. The figurine's pose is upright, with arms along the body, and the face displays Rei Ayanami's characteristic calm expression. Her short, light blue hair is finely sculpted, faithfully rendered to the anime's aesthetic.

The figurine is protected in its plastic packaging, which shows that the model has not been removed from the box. No base is visible from this side, but the presentation reveals almost the entire figurine, with a glossy finish on the plug suit. The overall appearance of the model is that of a prize figure statuette, typical of Banpresto editions for the Japanese market.

The packaging shows some visible signs of wear, including a dent and creases on the upper left corner and the lower right edge of the box, with no visible impact on the figurine itself. The inscriptions on the box are clearly legible: "EVANGELION 3rd IMPACT AYANAMI REI", "BANPRESTO", and Japanese text, with the letter "A" likely indicating a specific version or series.

This model is dated 2012 according to the keywords, which corresponds to the release period of several derivative products related to the "Evangelion" saga.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. Figurine never unboxed, box with visible signs of wear (rubbing, creases, marks).

Did you know? Banpresto is known in Japan for its "prize figures," often available only through Ichiban Kuji lotteries, which makes some editions difficult to find outside Japan. The "3rd Impact" series refers to a major narrative arc in the Evangelion universe, marked by the appearance of new designs and iconic characters.
