EVANGELION Character Toys from Blokees: A Product Selection Guide

Stay In The Know

Expert advice. Very good deals. The absolute best (and worst) things we've tested lately.

Choose a Blokees EVANGELION character toy by continuity, subject, assembly scope, and presentation format. The Fantastics Series focuses on Rei Ayanami, Mari Makinami Illustrious, and Asuka Shikinami Langley, with 32-piece Plug Suit variants and 40-piece Entry Plug Interior variants. EVA-01 TV ver. and EVA-08α use larger Legend Edition assemblies with 282 and 258 pieces. This guide compares verified differences without a subjective ranking.

How This Selection Guide Works

The five products are not ranked. Each serves a different reader need, so the comparison uses only decision factors supported by official product pages.

Continuity: original television route or four-film theatrical route.
Subject: pilot character or EVA unit.
Assembly scope: verified piece count when published.
Presentation: standing character, Entry Plug Interior, weapons, or Restraint/Transport Platform.
Age guidance and material.
Exact product-image match.

The three pilot products also have 40-piece versions with Entry Plug Interior. Because those are distinct variants, an article, caption, or product card should state which version is being shown.

Mari Makinami Illustrious (Plug Suit)

Choose Mari when the subject is her theatrical-film role, pink Plug Suit, red glasses, or association with EVA-08. The 32-piece Plug Suit variant is approximately 6.30 inches tall. The 40-piece Mari Makinami Illustrious With Entry Plug Interior variant is approximately 7.28 inches tall and adds the Entry Plug presentation.

Mari Makinami Illustrious (Plug Suit), Fantastics Series 02. The package shows the exact character name and 32-piece label.

Rei Ayanami (Plug Suit)

Choose Rei when the content centers on Rei Ayanami or EVA-00 associations. The 32-piece Plug Suit variant stands approximately 6.0 inches tall. The 40-piece Rei Ayanami With Entry Plug Interior variant stands approximately 7.3 inches tall and includes the Entry Plug.

The official product page lists PVC and ABS, age guidance of 14 years and up, four pairs of interchangeable hands, a complete accessory set, display stand, collector's card, and instruction booklet.

Rei Ayanami (Plug Suit), Fantastics Series 01. The package shows the exact character name and 32-piece label.

Asuka Shikinami Langley (Plug Suit)

Choose Asuka when the content specifically uses the theatrical-film name Asuka Shikinami Langley. The Plug Suit variant contains 32 pieces, while Asuka Shikinami Langley With Entry Plug Interior contains 40 pieces. Both variants use PVC and ABS and carry age guidance of 14 years and up.

The Plug Suit variant includes three replacement faces. Both product variants include the character toy, complete accessory set, display stand, collector's card, and instruction booklet; the Entry Plug Interior variant also includes the Entry Plug.

Asuka Shikinami Langley (Plug Suit), Fantastics Series 03. The package uses the theatrical-film continuity name.

EVA-01 TV ver.

Choose EVA-01 TV ver. when the article or display specifically references the original television design. The Legend Edition assembly contains 282 pre-painted pieces, uses ABS, and is recommended for ages 14 and up. Its official page lists a Progressive Knife, NERV-Style Positron Sniper Rifle, Pallet Rifle, Hand Gun, and Restraint/Transport Platform TV ver. among the presentation features.

The package size is 320 × 250 × 105 millimeters. Treat that as package data, not the assembled product height. This distinction prevents a common specification error.

EVA-01 TV ver. Use this product image only when the copy identifies the television version.

EVA-08α

Choose EVA-08α when the article focuses on Mari's later theatrical-film assignments or the pink EVA configuration. The Legend Edition assembly contains 258 pieces, uses ABS, and is recommended for ages 14 and up. The official page lists the back-panel component, Pallet Rifle, Umbilical Cable, Ultra-Long-Range Rifle, removable Entry Plug, and Restraint/Transport Platform.

The package size is 9.84 × 12.60 × 4.13 inches. As with EVA-01 TV ver., this is package data and must not be presented as assembled height.

Choose by Continuity Before Choosing by Color

Continuity need	Use these product labels	Avoid this mismatch
Original television discussion	EVA-01 TV ver.	Do not use Mari, Asuka Shikinami Langley, or EVA-08α as television-series products.
Theatrical-film pilot discussion	Rei Ayanami, Mari Makinami Illustrious, Asuka Shikinami Langley	Do not replace Shikinami with the television surname when the package says Shikinami.
Later theatrical-film EVA discussion	EVA-08α	Do not label the α version as EVA-08 without explaining the exact product label.
Entry Plug Interior discussion	Use the 40-piece pilot variant	Do not pair 40-piece copy with a 32-piece package photo.

Choose by Assembly Scope

Piece count is a measurable way to compare scope, but it is not a published completion-time estimate. Assembly time depends on the person, workspace, and care taken with small parts.

32 pieces: pilot-focused Plug Suit variant.
40 pieces: pilot plus Entry Plug Interior variant.
258 pieces: EVA-08α Legend Edition.
282 pieces: EVA-01 TV ver. Legend Edition.

Do not convert piece count into minutes unless Blokees publishes that timing for the exact product. Do not use an average from another series or another item.

Before You Order

Confirm the exact product and variant name on the page and package.
Check the 14-years-and-up guidance and the small-parts warning.
Verify whether the selected pilot variant is 32 pieces or 40 pieces.
Plan space from published product height only when a height is explicitly labeled as product height.
Treat package dimensions as package dimensions.
Confirm the listed contents, especially the Entry Plug, display stand, and instruction booklet.
Recheck price, stock, shipping region, and return terms at checkout because they can change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these Blokees EVANGELION character toys officially licensed?

Yes. The Blokees collection and individual product pages identify the listed products as officially licensed. Use official product photos and licensed images in publication.

Which products have an Entry Plug Interior variant?

Rei Ayanami With Entry Plug Interior
Mari Makinami Illustrious With Entry Plug Interior
Asuka Shikinami Langley With Entry Plug Interior

Which option has the smallest published piece count?

The three Plug Suit pilot variants each contain 32 pieces. That is fewer than the 40-piece Entry Plug Interior variants and the 258- or 282-piece Legend Edition options. Piece count does not guarantee a specific assembly time.

Which product matches the original television design?

EVA-01 TV ver. is the clearly labeled choice for an original television design reference. Mari Makinami Illustrious, Asuka Shikinami Langley, and EVA-08α belong to the theatrical route.

Can package size be used as product height?

No. Package dimensions describe the box. Use a height only when the official page identifies it as the height of the assembled character toy, as the pilot product pages do in their FAQs.

Do the pilot variants include display stands?

Yes. The official packaging-content lists for Rei, Mari, and Asuka include a display stand, collector's card, complete accessory set, and instruction booklet.

Why are prices not compared here?

Prices, promotions, taxes, shipping, and stock can change. This guide compares stable product specifications and directs readers to the official collection for current purchasing details.

How should an editor match each image to product copy?

Read the visible package label, verify the character name and series number, then compare the stated piece count and variant. A 32-piece package image must not illustrate 40-piece Entry Plug Interior copy, and EVA-08α must not illustrate EVA-01 TV ver. copy.

Conclusion

Start with continuity, then choose subject and assembly scope. The three 32-piece Fantastics Series products center on Rei, Mari, or Asuka; their 40-piece variants add Entry Plug Interior presentations. EVA-08α and EVA-01 TV ver. provide larger Legend Edition assemblies tied to different screen routes. Verify the exact package, piece count, material, age guidance, contents, and image before publication or purchase.
