Recreate Iconic Scenes with New Gendo Ikari Figure
Meet Gendo Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Revered by some, loathed by many, and now immortalized as a collectible figure. This latest release, based on his contemporary appearance in the Rebuild of Evangelion reboot movies, is a must-have for fans. With redesigned glasses and the ability to strike his infamous pose, the new figma Gendo Ikari collectible is eye-catching, flaunting the enduring popularity of the Evangelion franchise.
Gendo Ikari: Fresh from the Rebuild of Evangelion
Crafted by FREEing and Monolith, this new figma figure captures Gendo Ikari’s formidable persona. Featuring movable “figma joints,” this 6.50″ tall figure can flex and pose to the whims of its collector. It even includes additional hands for perfect pose replication, especially the iconic one where his nose rests snugly between his interlocked fingers, much to his on-screen son’s irritation.
The bespectacled face design, a tweak from the original, adds to its charm. Prefer a glass-free look? There’s an optional face included. To ensure stability for his many poses, Gendo comes with an articulated stand.
Pre-orders for this versatile figure are open through Good Smile Company. However, patience is required. Those pesky Third Impact delays mean it won’t ship until the third quarter of 2025. Priced at US$74.99, it’s affordable in the realm of Evangelion collectibles.

The Neon Genesis Evangelion hype train continues, spurring a flurry of collectibles. Many focus on the Evangelion mecha units, with EVA-01 piloted by Shinji Ikari leading the charge. From faithful recreations to unique takes, such as a samurai-themed Evangelion figure, the options are diverse.
The franchise’s pilots aren’t spared either. Figurines of Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley-Soryu are generating significant buzz.
Thirty years since its inception, Neon Genesis Evangelion remains a strong force in today’s anime landscape. The successful Rebuild of Evangelion movie series recently concluded with an epic finale, rounding off a franchise revamp that grossed over $100 million USD at the box office. Gendo Ikari’s new collectible iteration will undoubtedly carry the legacy forward, one pose at a time.
