However, an official Evangelion statue was recently erected in Shanghai by the ChinaJoy gaming expo.
This means that even though it’s in China, it’s really an official statue.
Studio Khara by series director, Hideaki Anno, owns the statue, however, it was planned by Heitao, which developed an official Evangelion smartphone game in China.
It was made in cooperation with the Shanghai Character License Administrative Corporation (SCLA), which holds the Eva Expo event in China.
