    Review of Robot Spirits EVA 02 a https://hacchaka.net/archives/52072531.html#more I am happy I have it on pre-order.

    Well played Mafex, well played.

    Very tempting to get the TV series on blu-ray. But $274 is out of my price range and the ending credit not having "Fly me to the moon" kills it for me at that price. The website mentions there are future editions on the way so I will hold out and hope they have another edition with the end credit song.

    With a clear support arm and a whole shelf. I can't think a pose that won't take a shelf. Unless you have the effect behind other figures but then that defeats the point of the effect.

    Both of the figures aren't out yet, but should release this month. The Kayodo build quality can be very bad at times with their EVA figures. And their articulation system can be very frustrating if you aren't used to it. I would recommend going with robot spirits by Bandai. See my post on the previous page, I go over the robot spirit line for Sqidd.

    I have been tempted to buy that Wasp Girl but the last thing my shelves need is another random figure.

    All three that you mentioned, Unit 00 with the NERV missile, Unit 02 Beast mode, and Unit 03 are all the older style. I personally don't have any experience with them. But if they are similar to the old Gundam robot spirits then they maybe iffy. The easiest way to tell the new ones from the old ones is the packaging. The old ones have the clear plastic front and the new ones have photos of the figures on the front. Below is the tamashii website I was using for reference. The older figures were re-released in 2012 and that is were the website starts. They don't list all the original figures. https://tamashii.jp/item_brand/robot_tamashii/1/?number=20&order=new&character=evangelion&sub_brand=&ck1=1&ck2=1&ck3=1&ok=Narrow+down+by+this+condition#category_search

    Amazing work as always Anubis! And yeah, that FAZZ is going to be a huge time suck.

    Hey Sqidd, I have all of the current Robot Spirit EVA releases so far and others on pre-order. Honestly they were better than I expected. The biggest appeal is the articulation and plastic quality of the figures. Any pose from the series, movies, and anything in between can be done. It lends to the play factor because they are easy to pose and the designs don't have alot of kibble to get in the way (omitting EVA 02a). And they don't feel fragile for a 6 inch figure, Bandai has been using good quality plastic. They do have more paints apps than I was expecting. For example EVA 01 has the red details filled in on the face and chest. Even the bottom of the soles are painted. All the colors are there but no tampo markings. It doesn't bother me at this scale and the EVAs don't have a ton anyways. Bandai usually doesn't do tampo markings at this scale for their lines unless they are a special edition figure/line (Metal Robot Spirits or Ka. Signature). Joints on my copies have been nice and solid. No sagging or tightening has been needed so far. EVA 01 has been in a kneeling pose with his arms up for months and haven't had any issues. The knee joints are very will done, a smooth black knee cap in between the armor to hide the mechanisms. Similar to the Mafex EVA figures but at a smaller scale. The Robot Spirits are smaller than the Mafex figures but I find superior in almost every way. The Mafex joints are lose and some of the plastic feels grumpy or going to break. They take alot more effort to display that the robot spirits. I have been collecting the EVA Robot Spirits, Mafex, Metal Build, ThreeZero, and Dynaction. I have stopped collecting the Mafex offering once the Robot Spirits started coming out. If you like the Dynaction you will probably like the robot spirits, they took the spirits design and up scaled it. I am collecting the robot spirits with the hope that Bandai will do a full line up, same as you. There are some weird omissions so far, Bandai hasn't done an Awakened EVA 01 or a base EVA 08 from 3.33. That is probably because of the new movie releasing and I am sure we will get them at some point. One last thing, there are three EVA Robot Spirts released in 2010, don't buy those. They were released before Bandai revamped the robot spirit line and the earlier figures are crap. All the new ones have been released in 2020 and 2021. Hope that helps and apologizes if that too information!

    The backpack does look very wide compared to the mobile suit but looks good when the justice is riding on it. I have always been a fan of the suit riding on the backpack and will pose it as such for display. I have the freedom so definitely going to get the Justice to have the pair.

    Another Cobra Viper is soooo tempting. My only copy is arriving today and I would like a three man squad. Not that have any space to display them.

    I cut Bandai a lot of slack when I comes to recolors. Macross and Gundam both tend to use the similar/same designs (respectively) for multiple suits. So when you have a yellow and red VF-1S figure, no worries they are piloted by different people and are both in the show. The Zaku II C/F versions in green and the Zaku II S in red, same figure in the GFFMC line with different color schemes. No problem, one is a commander and one is a regular solider. But that EVA 01 renewal color version pushes it. Glancing from the pictures to my Dynaction EVA 01 there doesn't seem to be any difference. Maybe when the full product page is available it will be more apparent but sure does seem like we have to buy a whole second EVA 01 to get that spear. Making the fans buy the exact figure with slightly more vivid/saturated colors to get a weapon that wasn't included in the first release is a dick move. They could have just release EVA 01 the first time with all the weapons they intended at the start. Now the people who did buy the first release are getting screwed.

    Another EVA figure to buy.

    Metal Build Justice is in the planning stage https://www.taghobby.com/archives/554515

    Up at Bandai US along with the Metal Robot Spirits Bael. The pre-order for Bael opens August 6th. https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2580356001001 https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2555059001001
  17. General Rasp
    Is this Bandai telling us they have finally done all of the Exia variants? Is this suit even in a manga side story?

    Robot Spirits EVA 01 with the spear is back up for pre-order at HLJ https://www.hlj.com/robot-damashii-side-eva-evangelion-unit-1-cassius-spear-renewal-color-edition-bans62117

    Anyone up for a EVA 01 repaint? https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/168585 The figure is good enough that I pre-ordered the repaint.
  20. General Rasp
    I would be in for it but will be driving home during the drop. 😑
  21. General Rasp
    I am backing it.
  22. General Rasp
    Yeah, I will probably pre-order it.

    Accessory pack for ThreeZero's EVA 01 https://www.threezerohk.com/product/robo-dou-evangelion-accessory-pack/ https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/170715 Seems a bit pricey for two weapons and a stand.
  24. General Rasp
    HLJ pre-orders sold-out with EVA 01 but EVA 13 is still available. https://www.hlj.com/robot-damashii-side-eva-evangelion-unit-13-bans62098 Going to wait on pre-ordering the Dynaction EVA 02 until BBTS's pre-order go up. EVA 01 was $224 and not paying the expensive shipping was worth the wait.
  25. General Rasp
    Good point, maybe the blue version could be P-Bandai. They love recolor exclusives.
