If you're commissioning a Wunder for your Revos it would cost significantly more than $840

For example a ~2m long Starship Enterprise "tabletop" model kits start at no less than $1k. That's just an unfinished kit you build yourself.

You're asking for something at least 4 times that in volume. If you want it fully finished the prices at least doubles.

You're better off buying like a dozen or two RAHs and posing them in silly ways :hahaha:

EDIT: Forgot to add that building the Wudner from scratch yourself would be a hell of a lot cheaper but in the end depends on how easily and cheaply you can acquire materials. Dumpster diving is perfectly acceptable if it's for such a noble goal.

Disregard reality, acquire decently scaled Autonomous Assault Ark.

Not fussed about it being to scale as that will never happen but if they made a latter wunder similar to what hasbro did when making a quinjet and helicarrier for there avengers figures that would be Fine, expensive but sweet.

If not that then is say something size-wise in between a hasbro Star wars replica toy ship and hot toys dark knight tumbler would be decent. If its in the tumbler size then price would be about 300-500 pounds. Still a lot but if the quality is there why not.

Hell even if a 12" wide, 17" long AAA Wunder would make me happy, and yes it would most likely be Hung from the ceiling

Anyone knows the scale of the new Q kit from bandai ? i'm wondering if they will scale with RD so i can get unit 8 to pair with the rest

TMBounty_Hunter · Postby **TMBounty_Hunter** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 9:41 am

The Bandai kits are non-scale. I can't find any official numbers anywhere but I'm not expecting them to be significantly different in size from all the previous offerings which are 22~23cm to the top of pylons when standing up straight.

EDIT:

Japan has the kits already.

Confirmation right in the manual for 08 that 8+2 is both possible and encouraged.

Left and right side on seperate trees.

The H tree is also the same exact mold for both kits but configured differently.
At this point it's pretty obvious that they've left themselves room to not only do an actual 8+2 kit but also do a potential 02+08 double combo kit like they sometimes do, either for events or for mass market.

Bandai kits are normally about 12" high...
RD are around 6"...

Also, I find very interesting the 2+8 Eva with the kits
But given the production changes that may (and will) occur I see it kinda pointless...
And if that is the case I want a Revo of the original Eva 08!

TMBounty_Hunter · Postby **TMBounty_Hunter** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 4:22 pm

The PG Eva-01 is 12ish inches to top of head
The HGs are 9 inches maximum to top of pylons

Left to right: TV HG 01, PG, NME HG
That's a 12 inch ruler behind them.

Old and crappy pic but I'm too lazy to take a new one.

I mean, in the end its gonna be different... Like Revo did when they made the Eva 02'Beta based on the TV spot...

Oh that, yeah there're bound to be some changes but at least this time Bandai delivers on the milking. Unlike 00' and 03 for Ha :irked:

Or the RD Eva 04, 05 and Mark 06? :lol:

05 needs something, ANYTHING more than just a Revo....

EDIT: This actually jogged my memory.

I remembered that back in 2009 together with the Ha theatrical release all the hobby magazines did their usual cross promition shtick.

I remembered thinking Dengeki Hobby had a 05 scratch build for a dio

Looking it up and nope. They just had Hide Iwai fix up the Revo.

I also remembered that Akira Tani (extremely prolific sculptor, mostly famous for Five Star Stories kits) also did a build but I couldn're remember whether it was for Hobby Japan or Model Graphix.
After a bit of digging it turned out to be Hobby Japan but he didn't just scratchbuild it for a one-off article. It's a proper resin kit

The only problem is that it's a bloody resin kit and the only one on Y!J right now is 20,000 yen....

@TMBounty_Hunter

thanks for the information.....hmmmmm i'm on the fence now, i want the eva 08 but only if i can have it with the other evas, like 01 normal 02, and 00 (wich at this rate seems like fat chance)

Mari arguably has the tightest body of all the Eva children sans Shinji's child-bearing hips.

The Mark.09 figure is unbelievable and I absolutely love the comparison pic with Unit-00, you can totally see the differences.

I was really trying to not want this thing but I think I have failed:

Checked my PO box this afternoon too for Mark.09. There was a pick-up notice in there but the collection booth was closed as it was after hours.

:um:

Now just to wait until Monday.
