Good Smile Company has opened reservations for the MODEROID Evangelion Provisional Unit-05, a plastic model kit of the four-legged Evangelion piloted by Mari Makinami Illustrious in Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition. The kit is based on the unit's appearance at the start of Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, where its non-humanoid form, running on four wheeled legs with pantographs on its shoulders, left a strong impression on viewers. The model stands approximately 160mm tall and measures about 270mm in total length, making it one of the largest in the MODEROID series.

The leg tip connectors come in movable and fixed variants. The prototype is by Kenji Miyashita. The price is 11,000 yen including tax, with shipping scheduled for April 2027. Reservations at the Good Smile Company official shop run from July 31 to September 9, and partner shops will also handle orders.
