Neon Genesis Evangelion is finally over. The fourth and final movie, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time, debuted in Japan earlier this year and arrived on Amazon Prime Video over the summer. It was a wild and bittersweet end to a franchise that has been around in one way or another since 1994.
But if you’re not ready for Evangelion to end, or if you just want to display your love of Evangelion wherever you go, you could spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on Undercover’s latest clothing line.
Or at least you could until it all sold out. As reported by Kotaku, Undercover’s new line of Evangelion-themed articles sold out within minutes of going on sale, and that’s despite some pretty high-end prices. A single t-shirt can run you $200, while the more impressive jackets can be north of seven grand.
We’ll start with the cheaper end of Undercover’s line. This t-shirt featuring iconography from the anime movies clocks in at just $200–a lot, but not completely unheard of for high-end streetwear.
Next, we have a $1,200 turtleneck designed to make it look like you’re wearing a plugsuit. We’re fast approaching unreasonable, but I suppose custom work comes at a premium.
These $5,600 puffer jackets modeled after the Eva Units seems like a lot considering you can get colorful jackets with similar designs for a fraction of that price. But nothing compares to the $7,200 price tag (or ¥816,750) on the Evangelion Hooded Jackets. With the hood down, these jackets look pretty normal, but with the hood up you look like you’re a walking, talking Eva Unit. It even comes with a remote control to make the eyes glow any one of nine different colors (along with strobe, fade, and flashing effects).
Of course, if you want that jacket now you’ll have to pay even more on the secondary market. But if you were going to shell out four figures for a jacket, something tells me price really isn’t an object to you.
