Speaking as one who should know, I think you've named the image well. Image

More 4chan goodness!

Why is 03 using an MP5? It's a German weapon, so wouldn't it suit Nigouki better? And a plexiglass shield?!?

Renewing the vows? Plus some related images.

...And for those who missed the Double Time Paradox in another thread, here it is again!

Reichu does not understand the significance of this...

That came as an accessory with the Kaiyodo EVA-04. (Maybe other versions. I dunno.)

That is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.

As far as the Revoltech 03 goes, she looks to come with an Eva-sized tonfa as well.

A decisive battle weapon, Humanoid Riot Control Evangelion Zero Three.

The Kaiyodo Eva-04 came with those too...most useless Eva weaponry ever! I guess they just decided to dump all the leftover junk on Eva-04 because it never actually made an appearance, heh heh.

Camperstrike, you play it? Well I don't, but I just thought it would make more sense if the German-built Eva used German-built weapons. Eva-03 on the other hand should use some traditional American weapon such as... uh, a nail bat?

Oh, the stuff you find on Japanese auction sites...

Booklet pic 1
Booklet pic 2
Booklet pic 3
Some booklet, apparently full of Eva schematics? Looks kinda dodgy to me, but...
Sachiel faces pendant-thingy
Back of above
Eva movie box set b/w plushie
I want that plush harpy... ;_;

As for the Eva figures getting odd weaponry, I wish they'd actually stick with releasing some of the weapons actually seen in-show that don't usually get made in toy form... such as the long-range variant of the shoulder-mounted Positron Rifle (the one that fires over the shoulder rather than under the arm... it's used by Eva-02 in the Arael episode... only toy release I can think of that included that was the Chogokin Eva-04... I think maybe one of those uber-rare TECT resin model kits had one too, but note "UBER-RARE" there...), the modified verson of the Positron Sniper Rifle Eva-00 uses in that same episode (basically looks the same as the one from the Ramiel episode, but it has a big cylinder sticking out of the side... the Bandai LMHG Eva-04 kit actually had this, the only depiction of that particular weapon I've seen aside from the show itself), and the much-larger-than-usual bazooka that Eva-02 has in the Bardiel episode (which was probably an animation error, but one of the Chogokin Evas actually comes with an oversized model of the standard Eva bazooka which is specifically referred to as "Bazooka (Large Type)" on the box).

"Tobe, Eva!"

Image

My favorite armorless Eva (well, at least the head/core) fanart that I've done thus far.
A bit flat looking, but really, iduncare, considering it looked like this when first scanned.

The "schematics" look like they're for a high-grade figure of some sort.

One could probably make a plushie of higher quality from materials lying around the house. Image (And... VHS lol)

A Positron Rifle of the variety you speaketh (I think...) came with one of my Kaiyodo figs (but I can't remember which).

Whatever it is, it's... odd. You've got those skeleton pics on the upper-left that look fairly intriguing (would a model or figure go to the trouble of actually having an anatomically accurate skeleton like that? would it even be feasible?), then on the lower two pages you've got a horribly disproportionate Eva-01... I mean, their shoulders are supposed to be braod, but not quite THAT broad.... and their fingers shouldn't hang down to their knees. And then there's the deal with the leg on the upper right page... no clue about that.

I know that the Kaiyodo Eva-00 and DX Eva-01 came with one of the shoulder-mounted Positron Rifles, but it was the "under-the-arm" type, like you see hanging in NERV's garage in the Ramiel episode, and being fired by Eva-02 for a second or two during the synchronized battle with Israfel. The one in the Arael episode has a sort of scope-looking dealy on it, and the tip of the barrel is sorta like the one on the Positron Sniper Rifle.

Uhhh... I dunno. I guess whenever I manage to pull off a big shopping venture at THAT SITE again, I'll keep an eye out for said book. Now I must know, too!

Unless you've been body-raped by Bardiel. Image

Looks kind of like an "exploded view", with the 'armor enclosure' broken down into its respective parts and the diagram indicating where they fit onto the leg. Dunno why the leg itself looks so weird.

Oh. My bad. You're in charge of doing an appendix on Eva weaponry. Image
