Following a couple of posts that teased an Evangelion collaboration, McDonald’s Japan has revealed three upcoming Evangelion figures.
These figures are Unit-00, Unit-01, and Unit-02, but not entirely as you know them. Aside from being a little stumpy, these Evangelions are transformable and reflect a specific McDonald’s Japan Value Set item. As such, Unit-00 looks like it’s trying to disguise itself as a drink cup, while Unit-02 has fries sticking out from its shoulders. This leaves Unit-01 as the Big Mac representative.
The promotional video below shows them in action, complete with voice-overs from the Evangelion voice actors. Misato Katsuragi’s Kotono Mitsuishi ends the advert by humming the McDonald’s jingle.
All of them have a unique part, such as Unit-00’s shield and Unit-01’s rear-fitted AT-field. Unit-02 gets a french-fry-spear that’s also compatible with the other two.
The process for obtaining these Evangelion figures involves a lottery hosted on the McDonald’s Japan mobile app, which opened on December 19 at 2 PM JST and will close on January 10, 2025 at 11:59 PM JST. Results will be announced between January 16, 2025 at 11 AM JST to January 19, 2025 at 11:59 PM JST, and the winners will be able to purchase the Evangelion figures at participating outlets between January 20, 2025 JST to January 26, 2025 JST.
The Evangelion figures — which are named Big Mac Unit-01, McFry Potato Unit-02, and McShake Unit-00 — are only purchasable as a full set for 3,900 yen (~US$25), and supply is limited.
