Evangelion-00 Proto Type - New Movie Ver. Model Kit (Built & Painted)





















The prototype Evangelion Unit-00 piloted by Rei Ayanami, intricate model kit by Bandai in 2007 during the movie release of Evangelion Unit-00 Proto Type from the movie Evangelion 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone. Armament included the spear and pallet rifle seen in the movie. Spear of Longinus is definitely the catch of this kit. Sleek and nimble compared to the older LMHG so posing is an ease as humanoid structure is adopted to mitigate. 

It's non-scale however stands slightly taller than LMHG version. Nice improved seamless arm joints by a rotary joint is covered with a soft resin parts. The mechanism for providing the hollow portion removing excess intra-articular part, the interference with the movable molding. A variety of expressional umbilical cable that comes with the core material has entered, the combined body and pose. I got mine built and painted and I do love the shading done by the modeller. It looks great standing besides the Volks resin kit.

The iconic 00 EVA!... Did you know that this was the first adult collectible I got for me, back in 2009?... Yeah, this is the one that ignited my passion for the world collectionism... Mine is the old version you mentioned, which seemingly had more accessories... This one looks slightly taller and more slender, also the color scheme changed, giving more prominence to white... By the way pal, I made empirical calculations based on the proportion of these armors compared to buildings, the size of the entry plug and the human size in some scenes, the results are not conclusive... If we take as basis the entry plug, the EVA should be a bit more than 55 m tall, but during combats, against buildings and other vehicles, it looks much taller, maybe even 200 m... Curious, right?...

EVA did change a lot on how the world view mecha anime and top up another round of adrenaline especially to the westerners after Robotech saga. EVA units are supposed to be a lot bigger than Gundam MS so it makes sense for it to face Godzilla. Anyway, Netflix is going to reboot EVA and we shall see.

Yeah, I love this finished model kit a lot and the blue volks version complemented it well.
