Nendoroid Shikinami Asuka Langley: Test Suit Ver. – Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance

Bring one of Evangelion’s most iconic pilots to your collection with the Nendoroid Shikinami Asuka Langley: Test Suit Ver. from Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. This Nendoroid recreates Asuka Shikinami Langley wearing the distinctive experimental Test Plug Suit seen when she pilots Evangelion Unit-03.

Combining Good Smile Company’s instantly recognisable Nendoroid proportions with multiple expressions and interchangeable accessories, Test Suit Asuka can go from confident EVA pilot to one of the film’s most memorable scenes with a quick change of parts.

Asuka in Her Test Plug Suit

While Asuka is normally associated with her famous red Plug Suit, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance introduced a very different look for the character.

As the designated test pilot for Evangelion Unit-03, Asuka wears a specialised Test Plug Suit.

The suit retains elements of her traditional red colour scheme but introduces extensive translucent sections and additional detailing, creating one of Asuka’s most distinctive appearances from the Rebuild films.

The Nendoroid version captures this unusual design in Good Smile Company’s characteristic super-deformed style.

Multiple Face Plates

Asuka’s personality is a huge part of the character, so naturally you’re going to need more than one expression.

The Nendoroid includes interchangeable face plates designed to recreate different sides of Asuka.

Swap between expressions to create:

• Confident Asuka
• Embarrassed reactions
• Emotional scenes
• Character interactions
• Test pilot displays

Combined with the interchangeable arms and accessories, even a small change of expression can completely alter the personality of the finished display.

Test Plug Suit Detail

The Test Suit is what really separates this release from a standard Asuka Nendoroid.

Good Smile recreates the distinctive appearance of the experimental Plug Suit while adapting its complex design to the smaller Nendoroid proportions.

The combination of red, black and translucent-style elements makes this version immediately recognisable to fans of Evangelion: 2.0.

It’s also an excellent companion piece for collectors who already own Asuka in her more familiar standard Plug Suit.

Entry Plug Interior

One of the standout accessories is the Entry Plug interior display, allowing you to recreate Asuka inside the cockpit of an Evangelion.

Rather than simply displaying her standing on a conventional Nendoroid base, the cockpit equipment creates a scene directly connected to her role as an EVA pilot.

It’s particularly appropriate for the Test Suit version considering Asuka’s assignment as the test pilot of EVA Unit-03.

Sitting Pose

Dedicated components allow Asuka to be positioned naturally inside the Entry Plug-inspired cockpit.

This gives the figure a dramatically different appearance from a conventional standing Nendoroid display.

It also makes the set feel more like a miniature Evangelion scene rather than simply another character figure.

Recreate Evangelion: 2.0

The Test Suit is closely connected to one of the major turning points in Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance.

Asuka volunteers to pilot Evangelion Unit-03 during its activation test.

What follows becomes one of the film’s most significant and dramatic sequences.

Displaying Test Suit Asuka alongside an EVA Unit-03 model or other Rebuild of Evangelion figures creates an instantly recognisable reference to the movie.

Classic Nendoroid Articulation

Despite their small proportions, Nendoroids provide plenty of posing possibilities through interchangeable components and articulated joints.

Asuka can be displayed using different:

• Face plates
• Arms
• Hands
• Leg positions
• Accessories
• Character poses

The included stand helps keep the figure stable while allowing you to experiment with different arrangements.

Small Figure, Plenty of Personality

Nendoroids deliberately exaggerate the defining characteristics of their subjects.

Asuka is particularly well suited to the format.

Her distinctive hair, expressive eyes and enormous personality survive the transition to Nendoroid proportions surprisingly well.

Put her alongside other Evangelion Nendoroids and you’ll quickly have a miniature NERV cast taking over the shelf.

Build Your Evangelion Nendoroid Collection

Test Suit Asuka looks fantastic alongside other characters from the Evangelion Nendoroid lineup.

Create a display featuring:

• Asuka Shikinami Langley
• Rei Ayanami
• Shinji Ikari
• Mari Illustrious Makinami
• Kaworu Nagisa

You can also combine the character figures with Evangelion model kits and other collectibles to create a wider Rebuild of Evangelion display.

Perfect for Asuka Collectors

Asuka has appeared in an enormous number of figures over the years, but the Test Suit Ver. represents a particularly specific moment in the Rebuild series.

That makes this version especially interesting for collectors who already own more traditional Asuka figures.

Rather than another variation of the standard red Plug Suit, you’re getting a design closely associated with Evangelion Unit-03 and the events of Evangelion: 2.0.
