Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, the fourth and final movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series was scheduled for release on June 27, 2020. The release had to be delayed to an unknown date due to the COVID-19 outbreaks.
However, that doesn't mean you can't still fully enjoy your fandom. Here are three new exciting Evangelion-related items that will keep us entertained while waiting for the movie release.
1. Show your Fandom with Evangelion x UNIQLO T-Shirts
The latest Evangelion x UNIQLO collaboration consists in a collection of six T-shirt models featuring original designs by the Evangelion creators.
The items are all men's, or unisex T-shirts, and retail for 1,500 yen before tax.
Most of the T-shirts feature a front and back print.
There is even a T-shirt featuring one of the Angels.
If you order online, the products will be delivered to you in an Evangelion-themed delivery box. This special delivery service is only available until April 30, 2020, while the T-shirts are available until sold out.

2. Grow Evangelion's Angels with an Evatchi
If you grew up in the '90s, you probably have fond memories of Tamagotchi. The quirky egg is still around and has seen many new incarnations, some of them in collaboration with famous franchises such as Pokémon.
The newest Tamagotchi will let you grow Angels. The new creation, Evangelion Tamagotchi, is affectionately called Evatchi.
There are three versions, with each representing the main characters of the Evangelion series: Shinji (purple), Rei (blue), and Asuka (red).
The color of the Evatchi doesn't influence the kind of Angel you will be able to grow, so feel free to choose your favorite color or character. If you treat your Evatchi very well, you might even grow one of the main characters.
The Evatchi will be available for 2,530 yen (after tax) from July 13, 2020 on BANDAI PREMIUM (*worldwide shipping available). The items available for pre-order are already sold out, so, if you are interested, make sure to one as soon as the products go on sale.

3. Schick x Evangelion Razors
The popular razor company Schick has teamed up with Evangelion to release three kinds of time-limited razors from May 25, 2020. The series will feature Shinji's purple Eva Unit-01, Asuka's red Eva Unit-02, and a gray version representing the NERV organization.
The limited-edition sets available at drugstores will feature the razor, three razor blades, and a pouch. There are limited edition amazon Japan sets which include a gift box and an acrylic holder as well.
The release will also include razor blade packs including four blades and a ring holder for your smartphone. They are available in the same three versions as the razors mentioned above.
All the Schick x Evangelion are only available in limited quantities. Prices vary depending on the store.
