Hey everyone. Recently got my grubby little mitts on a new Eva 2.0 Unit 02. I'll do a mini-review here and now to show you some of what the set offers.
The new Unit 02 in the box
I used the old Unit 02 revoltechs as a comparison.

Comparison Unit 02 revoltechs that Kaiyodo has released in the past
The first Eva Unit 02 revoltech released had the Gainax copyright. 
Surprise surprise the new Eva 2.0 Unit 02 has the Khara studios copyright.

Review Details: Overall the figure is a nice piece of toy to be had. The new figure has many more details than the previous revoltech Unit 02 releases. THe figure is also much lighter than previous releases. I find the new joints in the foot to be both a godsend and a pain. The joints on the toes are somewhat loose and with the figure already being so light and lanky its somewhat hard to pose it without it falling over. Interestingly enough after attaching the jetpack pylons the additonal weight allows for greater stability and prevents the figure from toppling as much as it did before.
I love how you can swap out the shoulder pylons thanks to a little peg located just behind the arm. It allows for quick easy swapping of the jetpack pylons and the regular shoulder pylons.
The rest of the figure is great. You have your standard revoltech joints that allow for the awesome posing and it still works great on this release.
No real problems to mention.
The sculpt for Unit 02 seems spot on to its movie counterpart. In the coming days i'll see if i can recreate a few poses that mimick the look and feel of Unit 02 from the new Evangelion 2.0 film.
Worries: The plastic used in some places can seem a bit brittle. Especially the joints that hold the toes to the foot. The pegs that allow for the shoulder pylons to be attached are also a worry. Too much is at stake for them to break, if it so ever happens in the future. With broken toes the Figure will have trouble standing. And with broken pegs on its shoulders, the pylons would simply not fit anymore.
I hope nothing bad happens to my copy of the figure. Extra caution should be exercised when trying to move those parts when posing the figure.
Verdict:I think at its price, I paid the equivalent of $42 US dollars for this thing and personally i think its worth it. Although very delicate, it comes with a variety of accessories and weapons and with it being able to pose in many different film accurate positions its a great figure to own.
I recommend it if your looking for a cool Eva figure from the new Eva 2.0 film. Just be careful when posing the toes and the pylons and you should be alright. Its fun to play with.
P.S.
I will post more pics demonstrating the other accessories that come with the set and the amazing posing ability of the figure in the near future.
Your review is fairly detailed. I eagerly await the pictures you will later post.
