I just got my Evangelion 2 Unit 01 F-type Gashapon figure in the mail! This thing is way bigger than I was expecting. I bet it would be 5 inches or so standing upright. Now I have to find the Jet Alone from this set!

They are evil, bootlegging pirates.
The garage kits in Japan are licensed by the IP holders. What recasters do is take both those kits and pre-painted PVC figures, thrown them into silicone and then start making money off of them without the permission of the original artists or IP holder.
e2046 are the scum of the earth. The tiny few actual original kits of their own that they have do not make up for their entire existence being supported by bootlegging.
If you have any respect for the original artist or the anime you like you should not be buying recasts nor promoting recaster sites.
Every hobby event in Japan you got to you will see the small time sculptors being ripped off don't mince words
Even in the west, which has a significantly small garage kit market you will see people who recast shamed and often permabanned from communities, and rightfully so.
EDIT: I do apologize if I sound harsh, but it's not directed at you. Recasters are a real blight on all modelling and making communities.
