Evangelion Collectibles from McDonald's Japan Leak Online
McDonald's is stirring excitement with a teased collaboration with the popular anime franchise, Evangelion. Although the figures from this collaboration haven't been officially announced, a promotional poster has leaked online, revealing more about this exciting crossover. Unfortunately, it seems this collaboration will only be available in Japan, leaving international fans eager and envious.
Evangelion Meets McDonald's
On December 17, McDonald's Japan's Twitter account shared a mysterious image simply labeled "Notice." The teaser included copyright details for "Project EVA" and Khara, the studio behind the Rebuild of Evangelion series, hinting at an exciting collaboration. Just a day later, a poster showcasing the collaboration surfaced online, confirming fans' suspicions.
Transforming Figures
The leaked poster reveals that the Evangelion and McDonald's crossover will feature three figures that can transform. These figures cleverly combine McDonald's food items with the iconic robots from the Evangelion franchise. According to translations, each figure will cost ¥2,500.
- Three transforming figures
- Hybrid designs of McDonald's food and Evangelion robots
- Cost: ¥2,500 each
Fans in Japan can register for a chance to purchase these limited-edition figures through the McDonald's app starting December 19. The lottery period will end on January 10, 2024, and selected winners can buy the figures from January 20.
Official Confirmation
On December 18, McDonald's Japan tweeted again, further confirming the Evangelion collaboration. An official announcement is expected soon, likely within the next 24 hours.
Previous Collaborations
This isn't McDonald's first venture into anime and pop culture collaborations. Earlier this year, they partnered with Yun Gin Oh and Hello Kitty. In 2022, they teamed up with Gundam, showcasing their knack for creating buzzworthy promotions.
However, these exciting collaborations often remain exclusive to Japan. So, if you're hoping to snag one of these Evangelion figures, you'll either need to be in Japan or be ready to pay a premium on eBay next year.
