Hi guys! I just registered and love all the info you post here! I got a question for you since I'm a noob on Evangelion merchandising;

Just bought this figure in Tokyo:



Looks like it's a Sega prize from crane machines released this month, my question is if anyone knows if this is just a single figure or it's from an specific figure line, with future releases of other characters, etc.

Thank you so much in advance

There appear to be a couple of other figures in the same series

Thanks for the answer!

But checking those, there's not a matching figure (same size etc), maybe they will release in the future hehe

Well, finally got the torso joint to move. I really don't know how, but it looked like it was sticked for some reason... Oh well, at least it moves now.

...

I absolutely MUST learn more about that Anima thing. It looks awesome.

Some Weird Eva 01

Linking to 4chan links is pointless, they block hotlinking and they expire quickly.

Oh man, oh man! I can't wait to get my hands on that new Unit 08.
I wonder if it's gonna be a regular release or an exclusive one (I HOPE IT'S A REGULAR RELEASE)
I kinda don't care for the weird looking Eva 01. I got the last anima Eva 01 and it's a mayor pain in the ass to pose. It also came with blotchy paint apps and two left hands. BUT QC issues aside, i'm really looking forward for new Revoltech merch

have you guys been following the mafex series ? they offer far more acessories then bandai robot spirits and kotobukiya kits, they are in scale with koto kits and 1.5 bigger then bandai figures but look very similar in build...i'm getting the eva 00 since it has parts to be from the first movie or the second with bandages. i almost bought eva 02 from them, but i already have 2 figures.
Does anyone even visit this section anymore ?

Really digging the finish on those, and the proportions look pretty awesome, too. Not too sure about the elbow joints. Also, the accessories are awesome! Sadly, a bit on the pricy end of things

still cheaper then the barebones eva00 you find from bandai arond because it was an tamashii exclusive.

I am not sure which one of the Bandai Unit 00's you mean here... if we are talking similar size, that would probably be the Soul of Chogokin... which are always really expensive

im saying the robot spirits, the evas are about 17 cm, this one should be 18.5

The Robot Spirits figures were NOT 17cm... They were on par with Revoltechs, so they would be around 14.5cm, give or take .5cm

i have them, i measured them because then i was thinking of getting the bandai kit eva 00 to finish the trinity.....so yes they are 17 cm and robot spirits were bigger than revoltech evas, and they edge the NEW EVO revoltech by a small margin , but they are 17.

NEW EVO revoltech eva comparison ,notice damashi is way to hunched he should be bigger

Original revoltech eva comparison

Holy crap, you are right...

I recalled them being around the same size of all Eva Revoltechs... Totally forgot that the 2.0 Evas were smaller...

Does anyone know when the Emergency Combat Unit 8 goes up for preorder? Or if it's gonna be an exclusive?

Well, they didn't state much about it. The release date should be given when high-quality prototypes are finished. I doubt it will be a limited edition or something like that.

In any case I'd wait until after the release of the movie to buy any figure.
Figures released before are almost certain to be different to their on-screen versions. For example, the first release of Eva 05 was before the Evangelion 2.0 movie, and after the movie came out they re-released the same figure with a different, screen accurate color scheme. The first Eva 02 from Evangelion Q was released with a gray arm and shield, while on-screen it had the grappling-hook-arm-thing and graphite and red heat shield. The arm was later bundled with Eva 08, but the heat shield was never made screen-accurate... Had to paint it myself.

I'm almost certain that this Eva 08 will be different than its movie incarnation. Maybe some color will be different, maybe some part will change, who knows. Whether it is because Anno changes stuff on a whim (and God, we know he does that!) or is some ploy to sell more figures (I'm going for this one) is anyone's guess.

Does anyone know if there's any chance that Kotobukiya releases the remaining TV EVAs as kits?
