Features of design and articulation

Asuka's plugsuit features a movable structure that allows for dynamic, anime-style posing, such as arching her chest and twisting her waist.

• The chest and waist area have ample range of motion, allowing for natural-looking poses such as bending forward, arching backward, and twisting to the side.

• The inner thighs have a roll joint, making it easy to pose the legs inward or recreate a natural sitting posture.

• Because the knee joint can rotate even when the knee is bent, sitting with the knees bent and leg movements in action scenes can be smoothly reproduced.

The figure features a wide variety of facial expressions and hand poses, making it easy to recreate memorable scenes from the film.

• In addition to the standard face, five interchangeable facial expression parts are included.

• The lineup features expressions inspired by memorable scenes from the series (e.g., "Are you stupid?"), and the blush has been applied to create a soft and gentle impression.

• Five types of interchangeable wrist parts are included for both the left and right hands, allowing for a variety of poses, including rock, paper, scissors, weapon-holding hands, and pointing hands.

Key points for display and recreated scenes

This article introduces tips for displaying and photographing this figure to bring out its full appeal.

• Recreating the famous scene : To recreate the "Are you stupid?" pose, slightly push your hips forward, place one hand on your hip, and point with the other hand to get the look of the scene from the movie.

• Sitting poses : By utilizing the inner thigh and knee rotation capabilities, you can naturally assume sitting positions with bent legs and poses where you hug your knees.

• Displaying Asuka and Rei side-by-side : Taking advantage of the honeycomb shape of the dedicated base, you can photograph Asuka and Rei side-by-side in a composition reminiscent of the "New Theatrical Edition," which will make for eye-catching content on social media and blogs.
