Sanity is Optional Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 6 minutes ago, Big s said: 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? Everything in the standard version, the transport base, and a set of hands plus an effect part to do the "rip through an AT field" thing.

anime52k8 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 This is why a live action EVA is a bad idea. BTW, not to turn this into a prime 1 thread, but I've been wanting to complain about for a while: what is up with these face sculpts? How do you get everything else on a figure so right and then botch the faces this bad? Why you gotta do my girl dirty like this prime 1, why?

kajnrig Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 ...I think all three of them look fine. What am I missing? I mean the Eva I'll always prefer the original anime to any of the revisions including this one, but even this isn't as overdressed as, say, the Metal Build...

anime52k8 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Unit-01 is personal preference but the heads on the girls are just terrible. Rei face isn't terrible but her hair looks like a bad wig floating off her head. It doesn't frame her face right and gives here head a weird shape. Poor Asuka though looks so bad. Her right eye is totally on the wonk which makes that side of her face look droopy and floating hair coupled with the too tall face makes it look like she's got a massive forehead hiding under her bangs. Then there's the bigger issue of neither of them looking anything like characters they're meant to represent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have that kit, but still haven’t built it. And now the real grade is coming up and I’ll probably do that one first. I think it’s an issue of lack of work space that’s been holding me back on a few items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How typical Bandai How typically Evangelion. They've been pulling this since the earliest revoltech days. I do find it a little odd there's no sign of the ESV for proper Operation Yashima action. The ThreeZero EVA looks interesting, hopefully it's not too expensive. I was hoping that they'd put Shogouki and Nigouki up at the same time since they were showing both off at the same gray proto stage not to long ago.

Personally, I think the recent RAH NEO "New Paint Version" is the definitive EVA-01, both because of the articulation and the accessories included.

The look of the body suit material kind of ruins the whole thing and I think there are better Shogouki sculpts out there. If all I wanted was a giant shelf eva I think I'ed want to go with the new Mega Sofubi from Kaiyodo https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/116141 Maybe if they reissued the Nigouki gamma I'd be interested.

The Kaiyodod looks really good and I almost PO'd it yesterday. But no articulation is a deal killer for me. And at 18" it's too tall for most, if not all, cabinets. And I have a bit of a rule. Expensive toys go in cabinets. If it was articulated you could "pose it down" to be a little shorter. 2 hours ago, chyll2 said: @tekering I also like metal build treatment of the Eva.

Actually I don't like the look of the MB vs the classic look more. I like them both the same for completely different reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I want to jump on this one now or wait for Nigouki (or just put the money towards a MB EVA-01; which I want but I'm not sure I want to pay second hand prices for).

Truly the "Silver Age" of anime, back when storytelling still trumped marketing (and merchandising was the result, rather than the catalyst). Sadly, the success of Pokémon put an end to that. Thankfully, anime was still shot on film back then, so all that great stuff is available in HD now (and will probably see 4K remasters in the future)...

David Hingtgen Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hmmmn. I don't have ANY Eva units any more, but could go for a new Unit 01. Not a big fan of the current figures/statues (price and/or style reasons), but that Koto 01 reissue and the coming RG look nice----how's the color-separation on the Koto? 01's colors are very hard to match, so I'd only be up for a pure straight build, asides from small details/inking. Or does everyone just assume the RG 01 will blow Koto's out of the water in every way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
