A toy replica of the Knife of Advance from Rebuild of Evangelion is now available for pre-order in Japan for 13,200 yen (~US$89.23), tax included.
The progressive knife PKN-01C can be folded and unfolded, with a length of 34 cm in the latter state. The blade is equipped with LED lights, allowing it to glow white, and the toy is also capable of making a vibrating sound to complete the display of the weapon’s power-on state.
When it’s not being waved around, the knife can be embedded in a display stand modeled after a stabbed Angel core. Finally, the product features over 25 recordings of Shinji Ikari’s voice Megumi Ogata and Misato Katsuragi’s Kotono Mitsuishi, along with “The Decisive Battle.” Accompanying dialogue includes the line “Don’t run. Do not escape. Do not escape. Do not escape. Do not escape! I will do it. I will be a pilot!” and “All personnel manning a battle station” by Misato.
The Progressive PKN-01C knife can now be pre-ordered from sites like EVANGELION STORE and High-end Bandai Japan until February 28 and shipping is expected in June.
