If I remember right the idea behind the Metal Builds is that they're the ideal version of what NERV wanted. The MBs are the no budget, sky's the limits designs and the show/movie designs are what results when NERV has to cut back to meet budgetary restrictions. Quote

But I find the idea that NERV has any kind of budget limitations to be pretty hilarious. Quote

It actually comes up several times that they a budget set by the UN and they have to deal with limitations based on it. It's even a plot point in End of Evangelion that the UN didn't approve their budget requests that would have allowed them to rebuild and add new defenses because SEELE was planning to invade and that would have made it harder. Also, Shia Surprise! time. The RD Eva 01, 00, and 08b IIC went up for pre-order this morning. https://www.tamashiinations.com/product_detail/evangelion/robot_spirits.php Eva 01: https://www.hlj.com/robot-damashii-side-eva-eva-unit-01-rebuild-of-evangelion-bans59094 | https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-056647 Eva 00: https://www.hlj.com/robot-damashii-side-eva-eva-unit-00-unit-00-kai-rebuild-of-evangelion-bans59095 | https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-056648 Eva 08b-IIC: https://www.hlj.com/robot-damashii-side-eva-eva-unit-08-beta-improvised-combat-configuration-bans59588 | https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-056649 Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) ordered 00 and 01. I actually want AN 08 figure the most but not THAT 08; I guess we'll have to wait until after the movie comes out to see an 08 gamma figure. Also, WHERE'S MY NIGOUKI BANDAI?

kajnrig Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I've long learned not to put too much stock in "scale" when it comes to Eva. The absolute size is helpful, though. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 No kidding, that's the kind of articulation I want to see in an Eva kit. Quote
enphily Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Great articulation but that ass is sooo terrible Quote

DYRL VF-1S Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Btw, picked up a couple of EVA-02 Metal Build recently and an EVA-01 is in route from a board member. Stoked to get this up and displayed. Quote

sqidd Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Who has one of these Medicom RAH EVA02's? Is yours a floppy mess? This thing is HORRIBLE. The Unit 01 I have is fine. This was supposed to be MISB but the seal was popped. I'm wondering if I got screwed, or if they're all a mess. And the white armor/band around the abdomen isn't attached at all. Thanks Quote
tekering Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I've been waiting for an EVA-02 reissue with better paint app's, since RAH did such a great job with the new Unit 01... Quote

Like virtually all my figures, I opened it up, found the combination of pose and accessories I liked, and then placed it gingerly on a shelf. My toys may get moved around or photographed, but they don't get played with. However, I'm not above making significant modifications to figures I'm not happy with... like, if it can't hold the pose I want it to, I'll make whatever changes are necessary to achieve it. Perhaps you should consider the same. Quote

DYRL VF-1S Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Looks like we have an new EVA Metal Build coming. Sounds like 00. April 6. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/445446?fbclid=IwAR0h1PmCoZm_WATkggQCYr7kqN-JOa-nEOP0qQUnpxECFrL-p5J3oKAERy4 So question is: Will there be PO madness where I have to stay up to secure or will I wake up the next morning with viable options? Obviously, Bluefin and stateside shops will carry for example. Edited April 3, 2020 by DYRL VF-1S Quote
