RG Evangelion 02 - UNBOXING and Review

[@Dreoni_]

Imagine if the DX version came with the boat

[@getoutside9854]

Epic

[@mookima]

:O

[@moloko912]

There is no boat in the movie. The flight unit would have been cool though

[@EdgyPickle]

Maybe the dx version will come with RG intestines

[@moloko912]

@@EdgyPickle again this is for the new movies not the end of evangelion

[@ronaldnocum2960]

You got this out fast. You were building this with drunk krow two days ago. Props

What can I say!

I'm still salty you busted this out so fast lol. Then had the nerve to show it off in front of me. Looks great though.

When you were that drunk its no surprise you didnt get far lmao

That was a great live stream! Hilarious dude

[@sepyasait4151]

I hoped to see spear of longinus in this unit. It would be cool.

[@thefallenC073]

Now I want a small spear to shove through its eyes when I get it

[@tannerbarnes7392]

Extra bonus points if there is an option part to impale 02's head

[@Ax2gy]

I GET WHAT YOU MEANT BAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@parksonian]

Probably way too ambitious compared to the other DX sets, but I would've loved to be able to get the big broken ship for Eva-02 to hold up like in EoE.

[@3xasfast811]

Would've been nice but sadly these are the rebuild Evas which I don't hate but I honestly prefer the TV versions. Maybe they'll use the frame of these kits to do that at some point, would be really cool.

[@ITeleportedBread782]

A bit of a shame the magnetic crossbow wasn’t included.

[@goneastray9926]

Could be apart of a dx set along with the flight boosters

[@taidainthejar7573]

GoneAstray 78 just about to say that

[@patrickleslie9932]

I wish they had done a DX version of this but with the like shoulder jet pack things that Unit 02 uses to drop in from the air.

[@vustvaleo8068]

I think the DX version for 02 should include parts for the Beta and Gamma configurations, mainly for the head unit and the left prosthetic arm.

[@michyoungie]

beta is plausible, gamma is pretty much a new body with no reuse except the half of the head from the normal/beta unit-02.

[@Noobnormality]

Those are more possibly be p bandai variants/add on parts rather than dx sets

[@Noobnormality]

@Ezio Auditore i see. So it's most likely to be just parts variants then.

[@danwithaplan3742]

I would've liked a unit 02 DX with a ton of weapons so you could recreate the scene where Auska's ready and waiting for Zeruel

[@goneastray9926]

Isn’t that the other girl idk it’s been a while since I watched the movies

[@danwithaplan3742]

@@goneastray9926 I'm referring to the TV anime. I know these RGs are based on the movies, but I'd love the option to recreate anime scenes with them anyways

[@thomastsuihn]

I find a specific part of the leg joint that allows the leg to raise sideways is particularly weak (D12 /13 in particular), they got stress marks after just bending the joint a few times Next Eva RG is the Unit 8, again, same kit except the head and a new sniper rifle

[@ВасилийМорозов-л7х]

Thomas Tsui Depends on version, because Eva 08b uses different gauntlets, and ICC is an entirely new model.

[@thomastsuihn]

@@ВасилийМорозов-л7х nah, its the 08a, exact same body, there are official pics One thing about the ICC, as I remember in the lore Evas could just regrow lost limbs, so why the need for mechanical arms? Or maybe I just remembered wrongly

[@okeneko5768]

I was looking for other reviews on this kit and I read this same issue. Did Bandai make a different type of plastic for the inner frame in Unit 2?

[@thomastsuihn]

@@okeneko5768 pretty sure all of them use the same plastic, it's just that I've only built 02 Might just be that tiny mold defect on mine where the joint is just that little bit too tight, but it's not the first time Bandai has designed an amazing gimmick, but fails due to plastic not strong enough

[@OtherMomo]

strange how there hasnt been a DX announced for this or the next one. i figured each DX ver. would have gear for the previous one, like the canon for unit 1 coming with unit 0, and hypothetically, the big shield coming with the dx unit 2 for unit 0

[@manat31790]

The opened mouth looks makes it look like a grumpy old man. It's kind of adorable.

[@stephentongwengheng4017]

The four eyes were the soul of unit 2~~~~why~~.T.T

[@ermac9275]

I really do not like the jaw of this figure, it’s way too loose and wobbling. Any fix for this?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Glue?

[@foldablepaper]

Ah yes this unit must be 3x better than the rest.

[@mandalore1512]

How tall is the unit 2 in inches ? Collection looks great btw

[@jasonarigoni372]

with the shoulders it’s just short of 8 inches

[@randomuser1579]

This kit looks more detailed than unit 1, though it might just be because the color scheme of unit 2 is more colorful

[@benadrylthundercrotch7144]

Just FYI: while most of the clear decals on these kits are garbage, the ones for the pentagons on the shoulders are actually perfect.

[@CrispUnicorn]

There actualy is aftermarket waterslides. I ordered some for 01 waiting for it to come in mail. I realy wanna do color accurite entry plug wich is usable as entry plug

[@chacrawarrior]

I wish it would come with parts to turned it into Berseker mode, well at least it didn´t come with a hanged mother. Come on! You know I would do a dark joke.

[@thomastsuihn]

I just remembered the MGEX included a dying Cardeas Vist... don't give Bandai ideas lol

[@prollydatboi8841]

I don’t recall if unit 02’s head splits like that in the rebuilds unfortunately, to reveal the eyes. I think it was only in the original series that her mask would like ‘split’ and reveal the eyes underneath ://// was an amazing look, miss that version of unit 02.

[@tydshiin5783]

If the DX comes with the Unit-00 shield, I'd get it, but if it comes with the wings for Unit-02 I'd also get it

[@bluspeed7]

SIMP makes a waterslide decal set for Unit 01 so maybe they’ll make sets for the other two eva

[@ZakuAurelius]

Ah yeah no doubt

[@jorgeluissantiagozavala5690]

Alguien de aquí me podría decir dónde conseguirlo? :))) no lo encuentro por ningún lado

[@pangalanapilyedo3225]

WTH they can't give this unit a clear parts for the eyes.. but eva 08 and Mark 06 has clear parts for the eyes?!

[@wesker919]

"A beast within..." Are they talking about Asuka?

[@thomastsuihn]

Should be the 777 beast mode

[@lachlanwitten821]

Thank you for reviewing this Eva unit it's my favorite

[@webbraham2768]

I almost asked why they don’t come with pilots, oh yeah. They’d be a speck

[@gundam.]

As for Evangelion, RG seems to have been released really nicely~. I couldn't find only Unit 2. I want to meet Evangelion Unit 2 soon.

[@mahatmagandhiful]

Just gonna copy and paste this from an HLtv episode: While we're on the subject of Eva kits, here's a set of replacement forearms for your RG Eva-01 if you, like me, dislike the RG's weird rotating... sleeve... thing. It seems to lock the forearm "blades" in place, and possibly limits articulation of the wrist as well (I dunno, I haven't bought the RG Eva-01), but it looks SO. MUCH. BETTER. in my humble opinion. www.shop2000.com.tw/GK-M/product/p37717039

[@3xasfast811]

It doesn't look bad just I hate how the green segment along the forearm isn't as long and it looks a bit squished so you can't really use the decals on it. As flawed as the original one is I prefer being able to use those marking decals and the like the look of that green segment a whole lot more there.

[@thomastsuihn]

Whoa, that does look pretty nice

[@jacksonstandley555]

I’ve been waiting for this for ages!!!!!

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

Not gonna get any RG eva kits ATM, every eva's so far are pretty boring in terms of the weapon option....and there's no EVA 02 DX set! The upcoming EVA Frame has more weapon option than RG! C'mon, at least give us the S type equipment.... And the decal, you can just buy some 3rd party WS decals instead of waiting Bandai to release them.

[@1LEgGOdt]

I say that the best way to display this RG would be to build a fully detailed super structure of the Arleigh Burke Class at the scale of 1/144 and have EVA Unit 02 standing atop the now completely destroyed top that was once the Main Mast. While holding that large canvas around itself as if it were a torn cloak. Just that scene alone was just amazing

[@Coolio_Ash]

HEY BANDAI. TRANSLATE YOUR RG MANUALS. YOU LITERALLY TRANSLATE EVERYTHING ELSE. COME ON.

[@kidrobot.]

why? everything is easy to understand

[@loganstynes8738]

If they don't make a unit 03 with dx bardiel option, SOMEONE at Bandai is gonna catch hands

[@SpanishDio]

Does USAGundamStore ship to Europe?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yes!

[@wilsonarilie4906]

i hope bandai make the dx version with a s type equipment or you can say the flight pack or somekind of expansion for unit 02 flight pack

[@ilikegiantrobots1775]

Small tip for the little dots on the hand parts: Get a Gundam Paint marker, in this case, red, for Unit 01, gold, and focus really hard and just apply some paint to the little dots. It takes a short amount of time, and be sure you have something to wipe off any excess

[@VeryCabbage]

Did you literally pull that box out of your arse Is it possible to learn this power?

[@ZakuAurelius]

It takes years of practice

[@HugoSoaresCollector]

Hello, this kit is very beautiful. Ready to assemble. Hug.

[@Awesomeboyscout]

This thing looks better than revoltech's and robot damashii

[@smoldream2908]

Eva-08 should be coming out around November, and Eva-03 was announced but we don’t know when it’s coming out

[@activeterror]

Am I the only one the found it weird that the EVA02 kit has an s2 engine in it?

[@thefallenC073]

I might get this for Christmas but ima need a o get either my dad and his sautering kit or my mom and her steady hands for the stickers

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

the reason for the eye option parts are because the green dots were too small to do as separate parts. so for the green parts you can paint the white and red around the eyes. and for the parts that are white and red you can paint the green dots in the center of the eyes.

[@danielduran6991]

I wish they’d go off the tv designs instead of rebuild

[@justincarrel7930]

Those are all from the rebuild films, maybe we'll get a DX version with the grapple arm and damaged face.

[@dorph784]

I really love Eva Unit-01, but let's be honest, the color on the RG model for Unit-02 is freaking pretty

[@rockblockstudio]

I definitely wish we got the shield in the DX of the Unit 02 or the Lance of Longinus. But yeah, I believe a unit 08 and Unit 03 have been confirmed

[@BWMegatron]

Would have been nice for Unit 01 to get the gatling gun and Unit 00 the shield

[@Myexoticexperience]

i like it when the reviewer knows how to pose the kit they reviewing. good job! :)

[@trevorbowen1747]

The mouth being open is meme worthy because it makes it look so dopy

[@leon.w46]

Are you going to buy evangelion 08?

[@noranomics]

I was banking on unit 02 having the dx shield but oh well

[@jetstrike28]

im still pissed that it doesnt have the cloak

[@DarkROSkull013]

God I love this new style review. Feels much more interactive. The included unbox and quick run down of the contents also help round out the review. I watch uploads randomly, and go back over previous ones, so yeah.

[@bretts1646]

I held off on buying the Unit 1 and 0 for the Unit 2 and can't wait for my pre-order to arrive!

[@blazingoshawott2297]

It has different knives and a different rifle because in the story Eva 02 was produced by Germany, not Japan like 00 and 01

[@blazingoshawott2297]

For those who didn't know :)

[@rvn_15]

i miss the school cutter thingy

[@lunoadji]

An interesting detail with these kits is that we get colour-coded pallet rifles.

[@ccarlton6790]

Are you gonna be building the RG Zephyranthes any time soon? It seems to have been on your shelf forever! I'm looking forward to seeing if you have any issues with the core fighter connection. I didn't, and I can't find a review on youtube where anyone has actually built it properly. Great video as always :)

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yeah I took them off the shelf and started prepping them for building but not ready yet!

No dx or longinis. Its incomplete

in the end wich version of the eva is better? this one or kotobukiya's?

For lower price and better engineering/articulation Bandai, for overall looks I think Koto is better

Nope! Not the RG kits anyway. The HGLM Evangelion kits you may have to glue a couple parts but basically you shouldn’t need glue for any Bandai Eva kits, and any Gunpla made after 1990~ish?
