The promotion began on April 11, 2023 and involves visiting to get a "Star Rail Pass" and take part in photo ops ahead of the game's April 26, 2023 launch. People who do also will be entered to win prizes connected to either the store or the upcoming HoYoVerse game.

At every participating Kinokuniya store, there will be Honkai: Star Rail imagery. One standee will promote the game itself and have a QR code that allows people to pre-register for the game. To participate in the event and enter the contest, a person must scan the QR code to get the Star Rail Special Pass. After scanning it with a phone, go to the cashier and show them the "pre-registration successful" page. On April 24, 2023, the official Twitter account for the game will announce the 48 people who won items like an iPhone 14, mouse pad, acrylic standee, keychain, pin, and Kinokuniya gift card.

Evangelion beetle models

Fujimi Models announced the release of a realistic rhinoceros beetle and stag beetle models with the same colors as the Evangelion Unit-01 and Unit-02 respectively. Both models will be priced at 4,180 JPY (or roughly $31 USD), and they will release in Japan on July 6, 2023. The Unit-01 rhinoceros beetle and the Unit-02 stag beetle are available now to pre-order from Amazon Japan. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The Evangelion beetle models have moving parts, such as the horns and legs. The models also include an option to reproduce the beetle's flight pose by replacing the default body parts with extended wings. Additionally, marking stickers of Evangelion Unit-01 and Unit-02 are included, which allow to fully decorate the beetles in the image of the original mechs. While the plastic model requires assembly, no glue, paint or additional tools are needed.

You can take a better look at the new Evangelion beetle models in the gallery below.
