Good Smile Company (GSC), the renowned Japanese figure manufacturer, has officially unveiled its latest release in the POP UP PARADE lineup — the POP UP PARADE Asuka Langley Soryu L Size (BEACH QUEENS Ver.) figure from Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition. This highly anticipated figure is currently open for pre-order and is scheduled to ship in Q1 of 2026.
Set against a vibrant summer beach backdrop, the figure captures Asuka Langley Soryu in a dynamic swimsuit pose that radiates confidence and seasonal charm. As part of the BEACH QUEENS series, originally conceptualized by WAVE’s TFC line, this figure embodies the energetic, youthful spirit of summer, evoking memories of sun-drenched days by the sea. It is based on a specially commissioned illustration from the EVANGELION STORE SUMMER FES, faithfully recreating Asuka’s fiery personality and striking silhouette.
Standing at approximately 220mm tall, the figure is made from high-quality plastic with a non-scale design and includes a dedicated base for display purposes.
The sculpt was handled by JYONJI (CONNECTRECT), while Tomofumi (WATANA BOX) was in charge of the coloring. This duo is well-known in the figure industry for their high standards and artistic precision, ensuring that every detail — from facial expression to pose — is perfectly rendered.
The release of this POP UP PARADE figure not only expands the growing lineup of Evangelion merchandise but also delivers fresh excitement for longtime fans of the franchise. With its bold styling and careful craftsmanship, this Asuka figure is poised to become a must-have for collectors.
As the release window approaches, anticipation continues to build. GSC once again demonstrates its exceptional capability in character modeling with this vivid and expressive rendition of Asuka. For any dedicated Evangelion enthusiast, this figure promises to be a standout addition to the collection — bursting with color, personality, and summer flair.
