Robot Damashii [SIDE EVA] Evangelion Unit 02 [ Rebuild ] / New EVA-02 α Review

Head Unit

The head is almost Unit 2, but the forehead is like a demon's horn, and the upper right eye also changes to an eyepatch. The mouth also became like fangs. The design is more complicated than the original No. 2 machine, such as a thin line next to the eyes, but the details are precisely reproduced. The mouth can be opened and closed.

Body Unit

Only the head, right arm, and right chest are Unit 2 and the others are covered with armor. The armament on the back is also large and features a rugged silhouette. Most of the area below the neck is covered with armor. The details of the armor are solid and the painting is polite. The Unit 2 part is exposed on the right side of the chest. The gray belt was made of a soft material.

Arms and Legs Unit

The right arm is almost Unit 2, but the armor on the shoulder is equipped with Angel Blood. All legs are covered with armor and change to a rugged appearance. The arms are asymmetrical and the left is covered with armor. The wrist was also different from the right one.

The huge backpack on the back is also precisely reproduced. beneath. A pedestal is attached, but it was possible to stand on its own without it if it was tilted slightly forward. The backpack is removable.

There was no gimmick to open the missile hatch on the thigh. Movability is inferior to normal, but there is a decent swing width on both the neck and waist, and the shoulders can be raised high. The elbows and knees are deeply bent, and the hip joints are widely movable back and forth and sideways. The grounding property was a little low. There is interference in the neck and it is impossible to turn to the left while standing down.

Accessories and Option Set

A set of pedestals. The lower stanchions and clips are for holding weapons. A state with a heavy weapon. Weapons are only here, and there are no melee weapons or forced stop signal plugs used in the play.

Heavy weapons can be held with both hands. The grip and barrel were rotatable. Overall it's quite thick, but the overall height hasn't changed much.

Movability and Articulation

Although it is troweled as a whole, the range of poses is wide because the movement is generally good. Heavy weapons can be held firmly with both hands. There were times when my neck came off when I tried to force it to turn sideways, but there were no parts such as porori. The back shot is also quite powerful. I overlooked the instruction manual and used a clip, but there is also a stand hole on the back of the waist.

Hit with a heavy weapon. It's a little disappointing that I didn't have the melee weapon I used in the play. AT field expansion. In the play, it was developed with a flat hand with all the fingers, but that was not included either.

Since the waist turns firmly, there is no problem with fighting poses. kick. In the play, the mouth remained closed until it became an apostle, but since it opens so much, even in the open state. Purge the backpack and dash.

Summary

This is the review of Robot Damashii Evangelion New Unit 2 α. The unusual shape that is significantly different from the original Unit 2 has been reproduced almost as the image in the play, and the head and armor of each part have also been precisely shaped and painted to make it look pretty cool. Although the neck and hips were a little cramped in terms of movement, he was a person who moved well for his rugged appearance, and he was able to reproduce most of the poses of holding weapons and fighting poses, so I was not particularly dissatisfied with that.
