Bandai has released a fair amount of model kits based on the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise, starting in the late 90's, just after the show finished airing. These kits are akin to Gunpla models. They are as pre-painted tray of parts ("runners") that snap-fit together.
Limited Model High Grade (LM-HG) Model Kits
The LM-HG series was released shortly after the show ended back in the late 90's. These kits, being a bit old, requires a lot of stickers and/or painting to be perfectly anime accurate.

#09 | Eva-04 Production Model | Neon Genesis Evangelion | ¥3,000 | Recolor of the LM-HG #05 with different weapons. The silver plates are actually silver-coated, hence the increased price. |
#10 | Eva-05 Mass Production Model | The End of Evangelion | ¥3,000 | Dubbed the "Final Version". It is a remold of the LM-HG #08 with better articulations for the arms and the head and comes with different weapons. |
#11 | Sachiel - 3rd Angel | Neon Genesis Evangelion | ¥3,000 | |
Eva-01 Type F AFC Experiment | Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 | ¥3,000 | Although advertised as a LM-HG, it doesn't have a proper number in this series. First and only LM-HG of a non-animated Evangelion. It is also the last LM-HG kit of the Evangelion series. |
Perfect Grade Model Kits
The Perfect Grade line started with the Evangelion series and the PG Evangelion Unit-01. The line was then transferred to the Gundam series with the release of the PG RX-78-2 Gundam in 1998.
Number | Model | Series | Yen Price | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Perfect Grade Evangelion | The End of Evangelion | ¥10,000 | First and only Evangelion kit in the Perfect Grade line. |
Rebuild of Evangelion Model Kits
A new line which was created to go along with the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. These kits are somewhere between the LM-HG line and the Master Grade line in term of quality, requiring very few stickers and/or painting to be anime accurate.
