Swoosh Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 I found the QC of this series is quite good, now looking forward to the Dragnar!!! Quote
eugimon Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 nice, I loved the bugged out eyes head. I think they nicely captured the Eva going berserk. Quote
Dante74 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Although I love my regular SPEC EVA they're not exactly free of the so called QC problems. There have been people on these boards that had trouble with the legs breaking off at the hips. That Dragnar, whatever anime it's from , looks nice too! Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Dragonnar from the anime Metal Armor Dragonnar. I just pre ordered mine. Quote
Mr March Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I don't like NGE and even I'm impressed! Very nice looking toy. Wow! Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Beautiful but I'm not getting another SPEC until they've reinforced the leg joints. Or until Unit 2 is released. Quote
Chet Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Wait a minute. So this thing doesn't come with an armored left arm? Quote
Golden Arms Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Is anyone selling the eva? I know its an exclusive but I'd love to score one without paying an arm or a leg for one. Quote
wolfx Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I posted it in the SOC thread before. Guess we really needed to split the SPEC and SOC threads by now. And yeah unfortunately the order date for the exclusive evas are already past. Quote
Graham Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 But surely the box blurb should read "Hip Breakage Rate of 400%". Graham Quote
eugimon Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 But surely the box blurb should read "Hip Breakage Rate of 400%". Graham but whuuuuhh? I thought only yamato made toys that suffered from limbs breakage? Quote
Graham Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Nope, the first Spec Eva got a terrible reputation for fragile hips. Lots of breakages reported. Graham Quote
Sumdumgai Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 That's because Evas are anorexic. Not enough meat or calcium. You guys play too roughly with those girls. Quote
Swoosh Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 oh, I didn't know it is easy to break... this is the first SOC Spec I got (not interested in thie line before), I have to be cafefully then... Quote
Mowe Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) I think many heap breakage occures because the black ball joints is hard to read (and it is made out of plastic...). When I first saw the posability of the Eva Spec, I was happy because I thought I can have unlimited hours of fun with it. Unfortunately, it is too risky to play with it too much. So it ends up as a show peice. That is why I like the Revoltech - they are toys that I can play with (and cheap enought for me to be rough with it). Also agreed with chet, very disappointed that it has no left armor - that is cheap skate from Bandai and very cunning - people can't just buy the 400% syc, if they want a complete figure, they have to pick up the original or the movie version. oh, I didn't know it is easy to break... this is the first SOC Spec I got (not interested in thie line before), I have to be cafefully then...

This is what I suspected when it was first announced and it seems I was right. HLJ has the Movie version listed to be released in August. Any new pics? Quote
wolfx Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 This is what I suspected when it was first announced and it seems I was right. HLJ has the Movie version listed to be released in August. Any new pics? Well to be fair it did say its a limited 400% version and I rather them to be different enough and you can't intergchange the parts. Otherwise the worth of the "limitedness" is lesser. Its not just the "armored hand" that makes it the normal version. The differences between normal and 400% sync version: 1.) armored head - the teeth are white in 400% version whereas the teeth are the red "metal teeth" in the normal. 2.) non-armored head - bandaged in 400% version and non bandaged in normal. 3.) weapons - 400% doesn't come with any weapon accesories. 4.) S2 engine - 400% comes with a S2 engine (the red core) whereas the normal one doesn't. You can't swap this out it seems. 5.) hand - 400% comes with a detachable human arm whereas the normal one has a normal one. I don't own one....but can those shoulder joints be detached? Swoosh: Nice pics! Is this yours? How did you get it? Quote

Swoosh: Nice pics! Is this yours? How did you get it? Yes, it is mine, I bought it from a toy store in HK, they a few boxes, I think they order it from Yahoo! Japan through some kind of channel. The cover of shoulder joints are detachable, so you switch between the look you like. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Beautiful but I'm not getting another SPEC until they've reinforced the leg joints. Or until Unit 2 is released. I'm with you... bring on SPEC Eva-02! Quote
Dante74 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I'm with you... bring on SPEC Eva-02! ...and all the other EVA's as well! Quote
Swoosh Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Someone in HK said the body of this one is different from the normal version, they have re-designed the hip joints Quote
promethuem5 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I should hope they fixed the hips... the poor hips on the first SPEC Eva completely ruin an otherwise impressive toy. Quote
Mowe Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Well...well..well... I might pick up the movie version. Hopefully, it will have more gadget. Someone in HK said the body of this one is different from the normal version, they have re-designed the hip joints Quote
promethuem5 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 If I liked the figure more, I'd be willing to find a 400% Eva to combine parts with my weak-hipped SPEC Eva, and use the weak hips on the 400% Eva, leaving it as a display figure, and haveing a more durable play figure of the normal Eva and all the accessories... but, I still like the SoC Evas better so, eh.
