Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Asuka Shikinami Langley

S.H. Figuarts Asuka Shikinami Langley 01

Release Date: November 2025
RRP: 8800 yen

The 30th anniversary of Neon Genesis Evangelion has brought with it a whole host of new figures from a variety of companies, with the pilots proving to be just as much a focus as the Evangelion Units themselves. The franchise has been a staple in Bandai Tamashii Nations lines like Robot Spirits and Metal Build for some time, but at long last they’ve done what collectors have wanted for years and brought the cast to the S.H. Figuarts line as well. S.H. Figuarts Asuka Shikinami Langley was released at general retail shortly after fellow pilot Rei Ayanami at the tail end of 2025, with a re-release of the pair also planned for the end of this year to coincide with the release of Shinji Ikari.

Toybox REVIEW: S.H. Figuarts Hyper Zetton [Imago]

S.H. Figuarts Hyper Zetton [Imago] 01

Release Date: April 2026
RRP: 12,100 yen

Bandai Tamashii Nations have been doing a fantastic job bringing nearly as many kaiju to the Ultraman S.H. Figuarts range as they have Ultras, as well as covering some unexpected areas of the franchise alongside the mainline series. One great example of this was Ultraman Saga, star of the 2012 film (and 45th anniversary celebration of the Ultra Series) of the same name and combination form of Ultras Dyna, Cosmos and Zero. Not to leave him without an enemy to fight, both Saga’s initial reveal and release was quickly followed on by S.H. Figuarts Hyper Zetton [Imago]. The ultimate creation of Alien Bat, Hyper Zetton quickly establishes itself as one of the most formidable kaiju (in its initial appearance at least anyway) by quickly defeating the three Ultras – the trio only able to finally overpower the creature when they merge. Like Saga himself, Hyper Zetton was released as a Tamashii Web exclusive.
