crackpot Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 3 hours ago, tekering said: Geography makes all the difference, I guess. Here in Japan, the Robo-Dou had an MSRP of ¥16,000; the Dynaction, at twice the size, had an MSRP of only ¥18,000. That's a no-brainer. Huh. That's unusual. I would assume the ThreeZero would be slightly cheaper there. 3 hours ago, tekering said: That sounds more like you're describing the Real Action Heroes EVA. I don't have that but the limbs do wobble or jiggle with handling and not in a forceful way to make it happen. They do stay in place for what it's worth. 3 hours ago, tekering said: Does the Robo-Dou come with an in-scale pilot figure as well? Probably inside the entry plug. :P The Dynaction does have that over the ThreeZero. I do also like that the Dynaction's stand has options for attachment. I still do prefer the berserk mode head and entry plug. I wonder though why Bandai didn't include that option as the feature can be easily placed for something that big. The Dynaction can have its berserk face feature given it has teeth but it doesn't have those crazy eyes that go with it. 2 hours ago, General Rasp said: Thanks for the review and impressions!

100mega Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 It appears that Hobby Link Japan has preorders up for RAH Unit 01 and 13 marked as being versions from the new movie. Has anyone picked up the new color version of unit 01? I was wondering if the durability of RAH has improved any over time. I did go ahead and preorder 13 as it's kinda my dream Eva figure, but I am very weary of the quality of the RAH line after seeing several complaints of floppy limbs, paint changing color, and plastic breaking at the elbows. It sounds like they just don't hold up even with delicate handling. Quote

My RAH Unit-1 (the most recent reissue) lost her balance and fell into a pile of clothes -- on top of a pillow, just a few inches beneath her feet -- and snapped the horn off her helmet. Quote

Good thing Angels don't come in the form of pillows. Evangelion would have been a completely different......and shorter story. Quote

no3Ljm Posted April 13, 2021 Author Posted April 13, 2021 Amiami has the preorder of DynAction EVA-01 for Y16700 for those who missed it the first time. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=FIGURE-060561-S001 Quote

I hope Bandai releases the 00 in the new Dynaction line. I alreday have the 01 and 02 RAH's and the Dynaction 01 (pics of 02 released). I'm not getting the ThreeZero's too!

anime52k8 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 I'm getting impatient enough for the Dynaction 02 pre-order that I might end up getting a threezero 02 in the mean time. Quote
100mega Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 I am still dying over here waiting for some news about the final movie and a western release. I thought with the worldwide Netflix deal, the physical release being planned, and Prime having the first three rebuilds in Japan we'd be hearing something by now. Part of me wants a theatrical release in a less covid paranoid world, but anime movies in theaters can be very negative experiences with the wrong crowd. I'm not sure I could risk that for Eva. Quote

With the Funimation releases of the first 3 going OOP it begs the question of whether GKids will grab the Rebuild license too. Quote
Tking22 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 BBTS notified me my ThreeZero Unit 1 is getting ready to release, I've got Unit 2 pre-ordered as well, absolutely grabbing Unit 00 too. The Metal Builds are nice figures, but I hate the aesthetic, they're too busy, I'm so glad ThreeZero got into the game, their Evas are pretty much exactly what I was looking for in a modern, high-end Eva figure. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 I still want them to do more Metal Build evas... Quote
technoblue Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Yeah. I really like how ThreeZero is invested in this line. Unit 00 is a first day pre-order for me too, and I'm curious to see where ThreeZero will take the line next. I'm also curious about why things went quiet with the Metal Builds. especially given how Bandai released 01 and 02, eschewed 00 for a repaint of 01, and then nothing... The Dynaction Evas are a bit too much for me, but I'm happy that they have an audience. Edited May 4, 2021 by technoblue Quote
sqidd Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 Ah, screw it. I just ordered the ThreeZero Unit 01 and 02. Any news on when unit 00 goes on PO? Quote

Nothing yet, but I imagine the PO will be going up soon. Threezero usually does a teaser then a week or two later the PO goes up. Not sure if anyone got back to you about your height question but EVA 01 is 10 inches tall from feet to the top of the shoulder pylons. You won't be disappointed getting these. They are so nice and heavy. Quality is par or better than the metal build EVAs. Quote

I like figures to be at least 10". Way too small for the $$$$. I prefer a more anime accurate look. And I really didn't think the quality was all that. I sold them. Sounds like the ThreeZero units are a winner! I may actually end up selling my RAH's and Dynaction units. I only have so much space. Having a ton of EVA's unfortunately doesn't work for me. Thanks for the info/review. Quote

If you looking for anime accurate ThreeZero is your best option. I have several EVA 01 from different lines and ThreeZero has the best likeness. Plus they did an excellent job with the berserker head sculpt, better than anyone else. Quote

uzernaem Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Can anyone clarify if the TV style figures are still being made? From what I've seen, it's only Rebuild stuff everywhere. I am looking for Eva-02 and Soryu specificlly. Not a fan of Shikinami and horned Unit-02. Quote
