Evangelion Merchandise – Where Angels Fear to Tread
Neon Genesis Evangelion redefined what anime could be when it first aired, and its influence hasn't faded since. The merchandise here celebrates everything from the biomechanical EVA units to the deeply flawed humans piloting them. If you've ever argued about the ending — any of the endings — you're in the right place.
What defines Evangelion?
Evangelion is a Japanese mecha anime franchise created by Hideaki Anno and produced by studio Gainax, later continued by Studio Khara. The original series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, aired in 1995-1996 and follows teenager Shinji Ikari as he pilots a giant biomechanical robot called an Evangelion to protect humanity from mysterious beings known as Angels. Set in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo-3, the series combines mecha action with psychological drama, exploring themes of depression, human connection, and identity. The franchise expanded through films including The End of Evangelion and the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, which concluded in 2021.

Assortment overview
Browse the characters section for goods featuring specific pilots and cast members. Collectors can check display articles for shelf-worthy pieces.
