【ZOIDS】Collaboration with Evangelion Celebrating Its 30th Anniversary! A Custom Xeno Rex by NERV Stands with EVA to Protect the World! ZOIDS in Evangelion Unit-02 Colors Has Arrived!

Evangelion and ZOIDS—Just the fact that these two iconic brands have teamed up on the occasion of their 30th anniversary is enough to excite many fans. At the center of this collaboration is the “Multipurpose Beast-Type Decisive Weapon – Xeno Rex Production Model Unit-02.” This model is a dreamlike hybrid weapon based on the Xeno Rex—one of the most popular ZOIDS—customized by NERV to reflect Evangelion Unit-02. Its form is a unique fusion of ZOIDS' power and EVA's sharpness, visually conveying its presence as a guardian of Tokyo-3.

This Xeno Rex Unit-02 sets itself apart from simple recolor collaborations by incorporating many newly designed parts. Its head, shoulders, and weapons feature unique design elements that strongly evoke Evangelion Unit-02, making it easy to imagine its battlefield role and operational setting under NERV. Additional highlights include newly designed entry-plug-style parts and a rider figure with pilot suit-inspired coloring—details EVA fans will find irresistible. More than just a mech, this kit fully embodies the concept of a “weapon with purpose,” which is its true appeal.

Another standout feature of this kit is its ability to walk via motorized action. Rather than simply displaying it after assembly, the experience of moving it with your own hands and watching it walk truly reaffirms the core appeal of ZOIDS. The subtle vibrations and mechanical sounds generated during movement evoke a sense of life breathed into this inorganic machine. Watching the carefully painted parts move is reminiscent of a real battlefield, immersing you in its world both visually and audibly.

Born from the fusion of Evangelion and ZOIDS, the “Xeno Rex Production Model Unit-02” is an unmissable item for fans of both franchises.
