PLAMATEA is a line of assembly-type plastic models run across Good Smile Company and Max Factory. The kits share a house format: movable joints, interchangeable hands, pre-painted or decal-based expression parts, molded colors, and a base with a movable support. The line started with character kits and has widened to enemy units, vehicles, and prop-heavy releases.

The Evangelion strand is the largest. Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Shikinami from the Rebuild of Evangelion films are scheduled for December 2026 at 7,700 yen each. Mari Makinami Illustrious from Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition is the newest, with pre-orders open at Rakuten Books at 7,726 yen against a reference price of 8,699 yen. The Rei and Asuka kits share a base that can hold weapons from the separately sold MODEROID Evangelion Unit-01 kit, and the Mari kit includes a wrist part sized for the rifle bundled with the separately sold MODEROID Evangelion Unit-08 Alpha.

Other licenses followed. Cutie Honey Nova's Black Honey is scheduled for December 2026 at 8,800 yen, in a 170mm kit with multiple weapons and expression parts. Mash Kyrielight in her Ortenaus form from Fate/Grand Order is up for pre-order until October 7, with standard and Black Barrel editions at 8,800 yen and 17,800 yen and shipping set for April 2027. Arika Yumemiya from My-Otome HiME, also set for April 2027, brings the line a 140mm figure with articulated joints and movable hair.

The line has also moved into non-character subjects. Yachiyo from Apocalypse Hotel ships with a Yachiyo Tank mode built from swapped vehicle body parts. The Unknown Armored Soldier from Nitroplus's Dolls Nest is an enemy unit kit with an assault rifle, railgun, and missiles. MX-chan, an original character by the illustrator Toridamono, reached second place in Dengeki Hobby Web's Amazon hobby new-arrival ranking on August 10, 2026. Black Honey topped Amazon Japan's Hobby Bestseller Ranking on June 18, 2026.

The figure features movable joints, plus various expression parts and interchangeable hands to recreate scenes from the show. One pre-painted face part is included, and additional expressions can be reproduced with decals. The model also reproduces Yachiyo's 'boiling pot' function, with a dedicated expression part showing hot water coming out of the mouth. The shampoo hat, which Yachiyo cares about as a hotel amenity, comes in two types: one that can be hung on a hook and one that can be placed on the head. Most notably, large vehicle body parts are included, and by swapping some parts, the 'Yachiyo Tank' mode can be reproduced. The kit is priced at 9,800 yen (tax included) and is scheduled for release in April 2027. Reservations begin on August 25 at 12:00.
