McDonald’s reveals Evangelion collab with mecha figures that transform into food

McDonald’s has revealed an upcoming collaboration with Neon Genesis Evangelion, complete with $25 mecha figures that transform into menu items.

McDonald’s Japan is gearing up for a major collab with Evangelion and confirmed it was real after leaks emerged following a social media tease by the restaurant chain.

On December 17, the beloved burger joint posted an image to X that translates to “Notice.”

Fans were quick to point out that the copyright text at the bottom included Project EVA and Studio Khara, the producers of the Rebuild of Evangelion anime series.

One day later on December 18, a McDonald’s poster for the collab appeared online, confirming McEvangelion is indeed real and coming on January 20.

McEvangelion collab announced with $25 figures

In a post on Reddit, a user uploaded a photo of the collab, which reveals a series of details about it and some of the figures that will be included.

As reported by Kotaku, the text in the poster indicates that the figures will cost $25. Fans in Japan will be able to use the McDonald’s app to enter into a lottery to win a chance to buy the limited-edition figures starting on December 19. Winners will be able to purchase the figures from January 20 – 26.

On December 19, McDonald’s posted a video showing off the three figures in all their glory and it looks absolutely amazing.

Three figures are shown in the poster and appear to be mechs that can transform into McDonald’s menu items such as a Big Mac, fries, and drink.

This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has teamed up with an anime. In 2024 alone, the chain’s collaborations included a Yu-Gi-Oh x Hello Kitty crossover and Dragon Ball Daima.

So far, there’s no indication that McDonald’s will bring the Evangelion collab outside of Japan, so fans may want to consider booking a flight to the land of the rising sun if they want to get their hands on the exclusive figures.
