It's amazing to see how Bandai took the human body as a template for this RG, just like the Eva in the anime. The way those joints move inside the arm to do the rotation isn't unlike how the bones move inside yours to do the same thing. The articulation in the waist and upper legs also resemble the way our muscles move when we stretch our legs.

My favourite anime gets an amazing kit I’m so happy I’d be ok with third impact right now

[@matthewmackenzie-betty6342]

In my opinion evangelion is nothing but a ripoff of space runaway ideon minus all the cosmic horror/ space opera elements that made ideon awesome. I watched it As a kid and I was scarred for life until I rewatched it a month ago and found it to be amazing, the perfect balance between terrifying and epic. I recommend it to anyone who enjoyed evangelion, but since rewatching ideon I find evangelion’s attempts at being dark laughable in comparison

[@bznazrin]

matthew mackenzie-betty i watched both, and in my opinion i enjoy eva a lot more. but yknow i respect your opinion and why you like space runaway ideon more, but i enjoy the more philosophical and psychological themes of eva more.

20:00 I mean, that's usually what happens with EVA-01, she opens her mouth on her own.

[@Smilomaniac]

In case anyone is wondering about measurements and scale scale: It's somewhere around 1 to 425 The EVA units are in real life 75 meters tall (around 17-18 cm or 7 inches for the model). In comparison, the RX-78-2 is 18 meters (around 12,5 cm). The real life Unicorn statue is 19,7 meters tall. You know those dinky knives the EVA units use? Yeah they're roughly the size of a Gundam (the shoulder boxes are where the knives go). So in case anyone ever asks what would happen in a fight between EVA 01 and a Gundam? The answer is that the EVA "kicks baby Ike".

[@ulforcemegamon3094]

Even jet alone could just slap gundams and destroy them , no need of weapons

[@squishytoastanimates3365]

Now I’m scared 0-0

[@collectorking6204]

I know it's 2 years after this comment was written but hold up. It's not that simple. Regarding the size "The individual Evangelion do not have a fixed height. Depending on the scene, they vary in size from around 40 meters to a towering 200 meters." And even if we do round it up to 80m there is no way that the knife is the size of a Gundam. Also Gundams range in power drastically from series to series. The Freedom will tear the RX-78 apart in seconds if they ever go toe to toe. Size alone is not everything. Even if that Eva unit is 80m tall Gundams have fought and dispatched bigger opponents. The Freedom was able to dispatch the GFAS-X1 Destroy (the Destroy is 56.30 meters tall with it's back gear) with a single stab in the cockpit. And the Gundam universe has units like MA-08 Big Zam that reach 60m (mobile armors). Also units like the Apsaras III exists. Some of these have STUPID levels of fire power. The Gundams can fly and have a variety of weapons and these weapons can be very powerful. Some of them have specializations that should not be underestimated. Gundam Dynames was able to make precision shots from the ground on Earth into low orbit. So sniping the eye of an Eva from kilometers away is not really that hard to imagine. Also multiple Gundams working together managed to turn massive amounts of debris from an orbital elevator into dust (Gundam 00). Units like the Destiny Gundam have massive swords that are designed to cut ships apart. Some of the weapons can probably vaporize the parts of the Eva units they come into contact with. The Eva units have armor (that's not well documented at all) but they are organic inside and they tend to run out of power pretty quickly.

[@squishytoastanimates3365]

@@collectorking6204 size is still a pretty important factor too since Eva’s are also really powerful. I think evangelion borders on actual science and fiction. It’s why it’s considered japans greatest work of sci fi for some. As for power, an average eva is as big as the Statue of Liberty for scale which is pretty big. A gundam (as much as I love them) no matter how powerful couldn’t win. And Eva could easily squash it but it’s possible that gundam that are more powerful could severely damage it but it would still lose. The argument with power and precision shot could also work but Eva’s run on a separate energy supply and eva 02 is the only one capable of running without it for 1 minute so it wouldn’t be much of a problem. The problem with the a sniper could be an issue but it’s still gonna be hard to take them down. There is no definite winner if you weigh each of the pros and cons of each gundam and Eva but the gundam is gonna have a harder time than the Eva

[@Smilomaniac]

Collector King - Always funny to see old comments brought up :) The height is roughly what I said, I remember there’s an image somewhere with a drawing with measurements on it. The knife total length are roughly a quarter of the height of the EVA units, so the blade alone would be around half the height of gran-pappy gundam. This is well within reason and not a ‘no-way’ scenario :) Regarding scenarios of combat, Gundams, especially from Seed, are so ludicrously overpowered, you might as well bring up the twin buster rifle. If you want a more reasonable comparison it’d be something like the 08th MS team, since they put a ton of work into realism, which is also a theme in Evangelion (while wing, seed and 00 are spectacle shonen shows). The armor on the EVA units seems to be able to take a lot of force, but I have no idea how good it is practically. Their massive advantage is their body. Any flesh at that size and weight that can sprint as fast as it does, is far beyond the materials and joints of any and all MS across any series I’m familiar with. Not only is an EVA unit far more agile and faster in terms of limb movement, but many, many times stronger to an absurd degree. Think of it this way, an MS strains its joints and dozens of electrical motors when doing something physical while an organic body distributes it across the limb far more evenly. So, with the 70-80 meter height in mind, an EVA will literally punt an MS. Any hand to hand ends in an MS being caught before it can run/lift off and crushed or pulled apart like a toy. Hell, all it needs to do is shake it violently and kill the pilot with sheer G force. At range most MS beam weapons probably win and once it’s outside an EVA’s range there’s no competition. I will say though that any MS getting hit with the EVA pallet rifle is done for, while the Eva is likely to tank probably most projectile weapons. I think it’s pretty simple. I wouldn’t put much stock in the varying sizes, you can look at something like the EVA capsule and see that 40m is way below the scale. Rather than Seed or 00, it’s far more reasonable to pick something like the original show (to some degree), Thunderbolt, WitP and 08th to compare with. A much more interesting comparison would be Pacific Rim.

Alfian Fahmi he will be disappointed but then he will rotate the leg 360 degrees and the next shot of the figure will be unit one holding its legs over its head and hobby telling shinji to get in the robot

Nice review. Waiting on Hobbylink Japan to get the preorders in.

2:32 two awesome kits and two of my favorite kits of all the time

The horn with sticker is a gift for us painters

[@gorillahammer15]

The “rotating barrel” part has not worked like that for me. It does not stay tight as you move it. One spot will make the entire waist section super loose. Is there a way to fix that?

[@SpareLs]

I was so stuck on the joint for the legs at 22:53 and I could not figure out why the joint would not roll up to the point it was supposed to in the manual, but as I watched the video, the joint miraculously slid in and rolled up properly THANK GOODNESS 😂

That runner with the antenna is technology from the labo kits

[@goldentrout4811]

As an Evangelion fan, i love that you're gushing about this! Thanks man!

[@eindalton2638]

I love how the old HG also has a lot of the action features this one has. Not sure if it's bigger or not, tho.

I love that Mecha kept posing the Eva holding the knife like it is holding a prison shiv. Mecha, you convinced me to get the special version of this kit. It is just too damn cool not to get the base too.

[@DarthWillSmith]

I'll be watching this every couple o days while I wait for mine to come from Japan.

[@sonicrockmanx]

I wouldn't be surprised if Bandai one day decides to make this exact kit in a PG scale!

[@kamiganplamo5215]

Excellent video as always bro, greetings from Venezuela !!!

[@eddievelazquez5221]

[@Jinsh1911]

It's not only the first none Gundam Real Grade kit. It's also the first Real Grade Wifu.

[@MatuRidiTL]

Glad to hear that you're very satisfied with this kit.

[@lukehighwalker8932]

Unit 0 and this bad boy just sitting on my backlog and I can't wait to build them
