Neon Genesis Evangelion, almost entirely Prime 1 Studio. The Eva units are unusually tall for their scale — the proportions are the point — so height in centimetres matters more here than the scale ratio does. Both are listed against each edition.
On most of this site a scale ratio does useful work, because a 1/4 human figure is a quarter of something you have stood next to. An Eva unit is not a human body. It is a fictional machine of fictional height, drawn to whatever proportion the shot required, so the fraction on the box tells you nothing you can act on.
Look at how the editions themselves behave. The Eva units and Angels are sold on height alone and range from roughly 58cm to over 90cm. The human characters are the ones carrying a ratio — the 1/4 Rei and Kaworu land around 46–47cm, exactly where the rule of thumb says a 1/4 figure should. Put them on one shelf and the unscaled machine towers over the scaled person: correct for the source, confusing on a spreadsheet. Compare centimetres and shipping weight, and ignore the fraction.
Eva designs are elongated by intent: long limbs, narrow torsos, small footprints for their height. That makes them unusually well behaved in a cabinet compared with most of the catalogue, where the usual problem is a wide diorama base eating a whole shelf. Here it is the reverse: the width is manageable, the height is not.
In practical terms, a RUDSTA tall gives roughly 45cm between shelves, so nearly every Eva unit and Angel here needs the top shelf, open shelving or a purpose-built cabinet, while the 1/4 human characters will sit under a shelf comfortably. The glass shelves take about 5kg each, which rules out more of these than the height does. The scale guide gives the measurements against UK shelving; we list exact dimensions and weight on every product page for the same reason.
Several of the Rebuild pieces share a single concept designer's interpretation of the units and Angels rather than being taken straight from the animation. If you intend to display two or three together, buying within that group keeps proportions and surface treatment consistent — mixing interpretations of the same unit rarely reads well side by side.
This is a short collection and it moves slowly. Evangelion editions tend to arrive as one-off large pieces rather than a steady line, so there is often no comparable alternative if you let one go. Announcement to delivery commonly runs twelve to twenty-four months, and the largest dioramas sit at the long end.
A deposit reserves the piece. The balance is taken when it is with us and ready to ship, not on a date estimated a year and a half earlier, and you can cancel any time before dispatch for a full refund of the deposit — no fee, no store credit. Everything is imported by us through official distribution with VAT and duty included, so nothing arrives with a customs bill.
The 1/4 human characters, generally. The units and Angels generally do not, on height and on shelf load. If the cabinet is fixed and you want an Eva unit rather than a pilot, plan for open shelving before you reserve rather than after delivery.
Only if you have a solid surface and space around it. A 1/1 head-and-shoulders piece is a floor-standing or dedicated-plinth object, and it dominates a room in a way a 1/4 full figure does not.
They are designed to, but they are large in unhelpful directions, since an Angel is not a humanoid silhouette. Check shelf depth, not only height.
The rest of the mecha and anime catalogue sits under anime and manga, the nearest shelf in depth is Berserk, and almost all of this line comes from Prime 1 Studio.
