A toy replica of the Progressive Knife from the Rebuild of Evangelion movies is now up 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 section has an LED installed, allowing it to light up in white, and the toy is also capable of producing a vibration sound to complete the representation of the weapon’s powered up state.
When it’s not being waved around, the knife can be embedded in a display stand that’s modelled after a stabbed Angel core. Finally, the product features over 25 voice recordings of Megumi Ogata‘s Shinji Ikari and Kotono Mitsuishi‘s Misato Katsuragi, plus the instantly recognizable “Decisive Battle” track. The included voice lines include Shinji’s “Don’t run way. Don’t run away. Don’t run away. Don’t run away. Don’t run away! I’ll do it. I’ll be the pilot!” and Misato’s “All personnel to condition one battle stations.”
The Progressive Knife PKN-01C is currently able to be pre-ordered from sites like the EVANGELION STORE and Premium Bandai Japan until February 28, with shipping expected to commence in June.
