Series 13, released in December 2006, was dedicated to the legendary anime series \"Neon Genesis Evangelion\" by Hideaki Anno and GAINAX (1995-1996) – a milestone that revolutionized the mecha genre and profoundly influenced anime culture worldwide. While the regular SF position was filled by Rei Ayanami, this Bearbrick appeared as an extremely rare SECRET figure: Asuka Langley Soryu, the Second Child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAsuka Langley Soryu (惣流・アスカ・ラングレー) is the 14-year-old pilot of Evangelion Unit-02 and is considered one of the most iconic female anime characters of all time. In contrast to the quiet, mysterious Rei, Asuka embodies fire, self-confidence, and boundless energy. With her German-Japanese-American heritage, her signature red hair, and her competitive, often arrogant personality, she forms the perfect contrast to the introverted protagonist, Shinji Ikari. Behind her confident facade, however, lies a tragic story: After a contact experiment with Eva-02, her mother, Kyoko, became mentally ill and committed suicide—a trauma that shaped Asuka's entire personality. The design of this Bearbricks depicts her in her signature red plugsuit with black accents, orange glove details, and precisely rendered panel lines – an authentic interpretation of one of the most complex characters in anime history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs a SECRET figure, this Bearbrick is one of the rarest releases of Series 13. SECRET designs are produced in significantly smaller quantities than regular figures and are therefore highly sought after by collectors. The combination of the Evangelion franchise, Asuka as a fan-favorite character, and its SECRET status makes this figure an exceptional collector's item. \"Neon Genesis Evangelion\" redefined the mecha genre in 1995 by focusing on psychological depth, existential questions, and complex character development, influencing an entire generation of anime creators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e For collectors, this SECRET Bearbrick combines several dimensions: vintage status from 2006, one of the most iconic anime characters of the 1990s, excellent design execution, and the rarity of a SECRET figure. A must-have for Evangelion fans and Bearbrick enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52352097157386,"sku":"B@S1311","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-13-sf-asuka-langley-soryu-neon-genesis-evangelion-100-secret-bild.webp?v=1767521408","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.co.uk\/products\/bearbrick-series-13-sf-asuka-langley-soryu-neon-genesis-evangelion-100-secret","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
