REVIEW Robot Damashii[ SIDE EVA ] Evangelion Kai Unit 8 γ Review

Evangelion Production Model-08γ (汎用ヒト型決戦兵器人造人間エヴァンゲリオン超極限空間対応用特殊装備追加可能型　改8号機γ[?]) is an Evangelion unit introduced in the Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time. It is a variation of Evangelion Unit-08

Head Unit

Each eye is larger than Unit 8 β, and the shape of the jaw has changed a little, making it closer to the play. The eyes are painted metallic. The complicated areas around the eyes, forehead, and temporal region were painted accurately, and the modeling was sharp and cool. A separate head with an open state is also included. With the mouth that came out in the scene of preying on Mark.09-A exposed, the teeth and tongue like human beings are realistically shaped and painted.

Body Unit

Unit 8 had a beta temporary battle form, but there was no diversion from there and the modeling was new. Precise reproduction of repaired arms. β In the temporary battle form, the bandage was wrapped around, but this time there was no particular repair and it was in a normal state. Waist circumference.

Arms and Legs Unit

The arm is precisely reproduced with details such as being repaired by a machine. The legs were almost the same as the original. Behind the upper arm is a cylinder that stretches when the elbow is bent.

Weaponry and accessories set

This packaging come with Halo effect sheet and weaponry. Comes with a whip-shaped weapon used in the play. The whip part can be moved with a lead wire. Replacement arm parts are also included, and the appearance after predation can be reproduced.

The machine that was attached to the design has been removed, but the point that the forearm is all black is unique. The wrist is also different from the one with a machine. With the halo effect attached. This is inserted into the hole in the back using a joint. A right hand for the new Unit 2 α is also included. This is for reproducing one scene in the play.

I thought that the head was diverted, but it was all made separately. I also wanted a melee weapon for Unit 2 and a forced stop signal plug, but I'm a little disappointed that the additional option is only a flat hand.

Articulation and Movability

The whip can be finely moved with a lead wire. It seems that the hip joint has a new mechanism this time, and the drawer width has increased and it has become able to move further than the first machine of the renewal version.

However, due to the difference in design, the ground contact and forward bending width were worse than those of the first machine. The left arm is also reproduced while generating a halo. The predatory head also looked like a runaway state and was cool.

The new hip joint makes it easier to do kicking poses. The kneeling posture when riding the AAA Wunder can be reproduced almost as it is. If you put it in the same posture, the halo will inevitably turn downward. Since the flat hand for Unit 2 is attached, the union technique in the play can be reproduced.

Summary

This is the review of Robot Spirit Evangelion Kai Unit 8 γ. As with the recent Eva, the finished product has a stable shape and high reproducibility of the face and proportions, the details of the arms repaired by the machine are precise, and there are plenty of options that can be reproduced in the play such as the open head and halo effect. , Movable parts have been improved to make it easier to play, and this time there was almost no dissatisfaction.
