sqidd Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I found Otaku Square is still taking PO's. I used a international credit card with great protections. Fingers crossed it's not a "scam" site. Nin Nin Games was another option but what I have read of them I think I'll stay away. https://www.otakusquare.com/products/rebuild-of-evangelion-dynaction-action-figure-evangelion-test-type-01-40-cm/view Quote
Sildani Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I grabbed one from Nippon-Yasan Thursday night whilst frantically hunting for a Roy VF-1 pre-order. It was there for ¥15000 and I got it just to see if I could. Well... it seems I could. No issues at all. Now, I’m glad I did. Quote

My 01 is not too bad, my 02 is junk. I'd love to replace them with a higher quality pair. Quote
valhary Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 My favorite version until this release was the PG but once compare with this new start to notice a bad body proportion Quote

I'm also a little more into the "toon" look too. I only have the RAH Unit 1 and Unit 2 right now. I like them a lot aside from the Unit 2 being a floppy mess. It was MISB so it's a build tolerance thing. The Unit 1 is fantastic. I'm looking forward to the Bandai 15"er. Hopefully it's top notch and they follow it up with a Unit 2 and Unit 0. I'd probably cut the RAH's loose at that point. Quote

I was hoping for a reissue of RAH Unit 2, rather than a whole new Unit 1 toy at damn near the same scale... Ironically enough, it's my old Tsukada Hobby Unit 2 that's a floppy mess. The damn thing isn't even articulated -- it's just a hollow vinyl figure -- yet it can't handle its own weight at room temperate! Quote

I could live with that. The RAH's look fantastic! The Bandai is very reasonably priced so I figured WTH. I'll give it a shot. Then play the waiting game on a RAH Unit 2 re-issue or a Bandai Unit 2 re-issue. Quote

I actually am the opposite and prefer the metal look over anime accurate in this case. And being smaller is easier on my display case Quote
kajnrig Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Does anyone know the history of the various Eva kit releases? The only ones I really know are the old-school 90s(/00s?) LMHG line and the PG Eva-01 from Bandai. I know Kotobukiya and Bandai both released kits for the movie releases. I'm not sure if the Bandai ones are just reissues of the original LMHG line (because apparently the movie kits are also "LMHG") with some extras, or if they re-issued their various kits for each new movie release, etc. Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Dynaction back up on AmiAmi. but with less of a discount this time. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?scode=FIGURE-060561&rank= Quote
Big s Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Sorry Kajnrig, it’s been a while since I checked this post. As far as a complete history on Eva kits, I do know kotobukiya had some plastic kits way back when the old Bandai lmhg kits came out. If I remember they looked very top heavy. I never bought any of them though. as far as the movie Bandai ones those were pretty much the same old 90’s kits. Quote

electric indigo Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Model Legend offers a set of replacement parts for the RG Eva's arms: https://www.shop2000.com.tw/GK-M/product/p37717039 Quite an improvement IMO. Quote

That was my biggest complain and why I passed on RGs. Looks great!! Have you shopped from that site before? Quote
kajnrig Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I forget if electric indigo was the one who introduced me to that store or not, but I've ordered from there several times and had zero problems. Shipping can get somewhat expensive, IIRC they charge individual shipping costs per item, but it's never been a deal breaker. I don't think I've ever dabbled in Model Legend's stuff, though, so can't speak to that at all. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 I made two purchases at this shop and both went super smooth. I credit them for offering not only bootleg stuff, but also original garage & IP kits, like these from Model Legend. Quote

505thAirborne Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Fingers crossed for a half-way satisfying conclusion, getting real tired of being disappointed by rushed or unexplained endings (you're the writer, tell me how it ends, don't leave it up to me.) Quote

kajnrig Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I really like the experimentation they do with this line. That said, why not the 3.0 suit? White Arms Asuka is Best Asuka. Quote

Also for some reason the test suits seem to be very popular with fans... Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 well, looks like I'm getting into this Figure-rise line. Quote
