METAL BUILD Evangelion Unit‑02 30th Anniversary Edition with the Spear of Cassius

The METAL BUILD series by BANDAI SPIRITS’ TAMASHII NATIONS introduces the Evangelion Unit‑02 30th Anniversary Edition, featuring a new-scale 40 cm “Spear of Cassius” accessory and a deluxe laser‑foil commemorative base, celebrating Neon Genesis Evangelion’s 30‑year legacy.

Design and Features

Originally released in 2019, METAL BUILD Evangelion Unit‑02 was designed under supervision of Y. Yamashita. Featuring exposed joint metallic structures and human‑scale proportion, the anniversary edition refines paint and sculpt details. The red/orange stripes, printed logos, and metallic joint finishes enhance a mechanical rather than biological aesthetic.

Included accessories include a high‑frequency vibro‑blade, recoil‑less rifle, battery pack, electromagnetic rifle with attachments, umbilical cord cable, interchangeable adapter parts, battle goggles, and display stand. These can be configured on the figure’s back, waist, or included aircraft‑style base.

The newly added 400 mm Spear of Cassius accessory uses transparent parts and metallic paints to create light and shadow effects. The commemorative base is laser‑foil stamped with the Evangelion 30th anniversary logo.
