Not that I need another Unit 01 at all (unless it's that 7ft tall one!). I'm curious. How big is this? I can't decipher it from the pics.

Thanks

So it's 7cm taller than Bandai's DynAction line.

I don't think it looks as good though. It seems weirdly skinny. Also I always want 02 first.

Ok. Just to make it clear, even if it doesn't look good and it's weirdly skinny, you'll get it as long that it's the Unit 02?

I think it's the legs, they have a very straight profile, and are a bit thinner than they ought to be compared to the torso.

Never skip leg day.

I wonder if Dynaction has been a successful line or not. I am really hoping we see TV series Evas in that line one day after they do whatever they want to do with the Rebuild versions.

After I clicked the original post of that quote under my name with a timestamp of 4/13/2022 9:49am, technically yesterday, the post that shows is different. I checked to confirm because I don't remember posting that. Forum glitch maybe?

[100mega]

When I did my post I swear I hit the post button and it didn't work. I was wondering if I'd get a double post myself.

I don't think having double post is an issue. It does happen once in a while. Probably some glitch until you refresh the page to see you already have double post. Out of curiosity, did you type your reply within the 'quote' box area or below it?

I used the reply box at the bottom of the thread.

I see. Thanks. It's probably some glitch in-between when hitting the buttons.

After losing the woman dearest to me recently, I have a wholey new appreciation for Anno and whatever it is that personally happened to him that he puts into his works.  I've been and still am lost as of recent, and fully "get" the character of Gendou and his motivations more than I ever cared to. Where many casually write off a villain as casually willing to destroy the world & re-write it to take back someone unjustly taken away from him, I see a hero.

Sorry if that's a bit subjectively dark, but it's a weight I wouldn't wish on anyone. If I ever did meet Hideaki Anno, I'd simply like to buy the man a beer and quietly drink, nothing more.

[technoblue]

My condolences, @Keith.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine. I'm not much for "the feels" (tough childhood), but losing my wife of 23yrs (been together 31yrs) would absolutely crush me.

-----------------------------------------------

I think the thing that impresses me most about Evangelion is that it's a different series/movies to everyone based on your own life experience. Anno is a genius.

I really hate the idea of paying this much for revoltech, but Euro-II is such a cool design and I doubt anyone else will ever do a better figure.

Medicom RAH EVA Unit 13 finally arrived after being delayed a bunch of times. Holy huge spears! They're 34" long!

I couldn't wait for the custom cab I have being built for my EVA stuff so I jammed everything in this one for now (except Unit 09 which is still in its box). Looks pretty cool!

All that said, it's the same junky quality you come to expect from Medicom. Oh well, they look cool.

Next ThreeZero EVA figure.

Hurry up and announce the next Dynaction figure, Bandai!  RAH NEO and ThreeZero are kickin' yer ass!

Does anyone know if there is a Bandai Spirits (or the same scale) transport platform like this available?

Welcome, Harbinger!  That looks like the RG Restraint/Transport Platform Set from Premium Bandai.

RG Evangelion figures are a little taller than the Robot Damashii EVAs, but I think you could make it work...

Also, each of the old Sega 00's came with restraint/transport platforms, if you prefer the TV look.

[m0n5t3r]

Perfectly sized Evas for my collection… and thank goodness it’s not from Bandai.
I think I’m gonna rewatch the movies now.
