According to a report by Kotaku, the promotional material indicates that these collectible figures will retail for $25. Japanese fans will have the chance to participate in a lottery accessible via the McDonald’s app starting December 19, providing an opportunity to purchase these exclusive figures between January 20 and 26.

As anticipation builds, many are eager to find out if McDonald’s will unveil any special meal offerings as part of this collaboration. Furthermore, this is not McDonald’s first foray into the anime world; earlier in 2024, the fast-food giant also collaborated with franchises such as Yu-Gi-Oh and Hello Kitty, alongside Dragon Ball Daima.

Currently, there is no word on whether the McEvangelion collaboration will extend beyond Japan. Consequently, international fans are advised to consider traveling to Japan to secure these limited-edition figures.
