Neon Genesis EVANGELION General Thread

I think they set a precedent for nonsense with 3.33 or whatever.  1 & 2 were good, 3 went nuts.

There's a new EVA in town.

for anyone who thought that the head on the metal build 01 was just too wide.

I still find the MB Eva-01's head wider.

 

I know I said before that it somehow resembles Mr. Grinch. But with a second look, I think it resembles Jeff more. What do you guys think?

Looks like another crossover in the making. Eva X Megami.

You might not be able to do so, but I know that used figures show up on amiami from time to time. Search for in-stock items, including pre-owned ones.

There's a preowned one on AmiAmi at the moment, but there's no condition ranking.

Are you sure? Must've been bought between then and now, because I don't see it listed anymore. I can find the original listing, which is for a new item and is discontinued, but no preowned ones. They'll have condition rankings on the product page next to the name of the item, like so:

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-000570-R

(Pre-owned ITEM:A/BOX:B)

I noticed the condition on the title and purchased it. It was ITEM:A/BOX:B. I'm hoping they dont end up shipping that awful China replica version.

Hey, glad things worked out for you! Enjoy!

Do you guys know how tall this is?

Based on the link provided on the post above in case you missed it or didn't click it. It's going to be 18.5cm. So basically it's a typical Revoltech figure.

What are the top three quintessential/the one to have EVA-01 toys in order? 

[no3Ljm]

From Tamashii Nations 2019.

Robot Damashii Side Eva. Evangelion 01 Test Type

 

[505thAirborne]

^^^ NICE!!! I like the price tag too. 

[Atheonyirh]

Roughly twice the price of the original RD Evas, IIRC, but not bad for modern RD/Figuarts/Figma/etc pricing. Depends on just how many accessories, including hands, they come with. The old RDs had an absurd number of hands didn't they? Like 7 or 8 sets?

Is this just a standard type release or a PO in March? It says release date, but it may not be translating correctly it for my dumb dumb brain.

Thanks!

It’s out for PO now for release in Mar in HLJ so I think it’ll appear in the various usual site soon if not already.

Worth noting, this figure includes parts molded in multiple colors.

Specifically the horn, the eyepiece, and some of the arm armor bits.

Also Bandai states that they've specifically focused on articulation in this kit. The knee bend and the hips are stated to be able to do natural crouching poses. The torso and neck are also called out as improved articulation.

It seems silly to pay international shipping on something that is $37. And I'm not seeing anything else I want.

You can just wait until it's available on Amazon, or in-stores in the US. Usually takes around a month?

Honestly, my rule on regular release Bandai kits is to only buy them on sale. Of course that's partially due to my model kit backlog already being sizeable.

[kajnrig]

I'm surprised they didn't make a bigger deal of this. No silhouette teaser, no secretive "Next RG In Development" mystery box at an expo, nothing? Just this sudden promo image and preorders are up?

Kinda disappointed that they didn't try to miniaturize the "condom suit" of the PG to at least hide the elbow and knee joints. I'm sure with today's tech they could make it much easier to work with while still looking seamless.

Will BBTS have something like this? Who else is US based?

Not sure if these stores will have the RG Evas. But since it's mostly have Bandai Gunpla stuff, there's a chance that they will have it.

I'm 100% certain that it will be available from various US based retailers, including Amazon.com eventually.

Just means waiting, and will probably cost a bit more than the Japanese MSRP.

Example, HLJ has the RG Nu for ¥3,570 JPY (15% off ¥4,200 JPY MRSP), while Amazon charges $46 (approx ¥4,975).

As far as US stores go, I'd get it from either Amazon or Gundam Planet. Or just wait till you have something else from a Japanese store and ship it with that.

I like the look of this rg version

Does the transport set come with everything from the standard version, just with extra hands and transport or do you still need the standard kit as well?
