The figure depicts Makinami Mari Illustrious in a dynamic mid-action pose, as if stepping forward with confidence. Her long hair is sculpted to swirl around her shoulders, catching the light and suggesting movement. She wears a plug-suit-inspired outfit with crisp lines, accented by pink highlights and subtle blue details, all rendered with meticulous paintwork to emphasize panels, vents, and seams. The sculpt captures her composed, slightly playful expression, with careful attention given to the eyes and mouth. Accessories include a display base and optional interchangeable hands to re-create iconic gestures from the Shin Evangelion film.

Makinami Mari Illustrious is introduced as a self-assured and enigmatic Evangelion pilot whose motives and origins remain shrouded in mystery. In Shin Evangelion Gekijouban, she operates as a capable ally who navigates complex loyalties among NERV, WILLE, and other factions, while pursuing her own mission and sense of justice. Her presence adds a different dynamic to the team, balancing humor and grit as she faces overwhelming threats from the Angels and the ambiguous forces at work behind the scenes. Through her actions and banter, she reveals resilience, improvisational skill, and a willingness to take risks when the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
