I've always wondered why despite Evangelion getting a lot of merch and being popular series there isn't really a consistent Evangelion General.Is it because there's too much crossover with other threads to the point that a dedicated thread feels redundant? is it because there's no anon that's dedicated enough to keep making a new thread every time? is it that Evangelion is inherently limited? the generals I'm familiar with (MOTU, Marvel, Transformers) Not only have dozens or hundreds of characters but also different generations or alternate takes.Anyway, to not make this thread just a meta discussion, seems the Robo-Duo TV Eva 02 got an updated and painted prototype recently, for a moment I was worried it wouldn't happen at all, so a good sign for sure.
>>11860551Ah yes, John Evangelion from Robotech.
>>11860551That looks really nice. I heard some Robo-Dou had some nasty breakage problems though?
>>11860551Most of the merch is statueshit or other junk though, few articulated figures. And the figures we do get are always the same characters and Evas every time. Just not interesting enough to sustain a general imo
>>11860551ThreeZero thread?Casca looks great!
>>11860626I only own 2, and the only issue I've ever had is some paint chipping on the knee armor of eva01, but I'm willing to put at least some of the blame on me.>>11860639Threezero is in a similar situation, I would have gladly posted this eva in the general but I don't think I've ever seen one. Casca does look great tho, I kinda like how SHF face came out, I wanna see some close ups from this one once we get em.
>>11860551>>11860629This on top of the crossover with Robot Damashi and other robot toylines.Also Eva figure releases are kinda rare. The only times we get waves of them are around movie releases. We'll probably see some more with the upcoming series Yoko Taro is directing.The other thing is Eva figures are split across action figures, plamo and statues and it makes more sense for those to be discussed in threads dedicated to those where there are people who specialize in collecting those types of toys rather than an Eva general where you'd discuss different types of products.
>>11860551Looks pretty nice. I'm dying for non-Shin Eva stuff.
>>11860639Is this the longcat version or what are these proportions?
Had to dig deep but I found a couple more pictures.
>>11860724
>>11860639Also sharper and closer pic for Casca.
>>11860551What does eva even have to offer? 4 mechs, 5 waifus, 2 shotas?
>>11860551>still no misato figmawhat the shit
>>11860724tv chads we are so back
>>11860773At least she has a Blokees that looks cute.
>>11860729Nice. She looks gorgeous. I have the previos 4 and have been waiting years for this. I hope they reveal Zodd soon.
>>11860551>>11860724>>11860727I've been starving for TV modern stuff, so I'm sure I'll get this no matter what, but I'm a little worried they'll try to reuse a lot from the rebuild version and ignore the TV proportions.Blokees went the extra mile and basically re-did everything from scratch, I hope this is the case for Threezero too.
>>11860793They might be able to get away with it for 02 from EOE, her proportions in the movie (and the Mass Produced ones) are closer to what the Rebuilds ended up doing for their Units.
>>11860793definitely looks all new to me, other than maybe the hands
I awant to see Snail shell's eva girls already. Maybe they would actually launch a misato
>>11860905>you get an awesome Snail Shell Misato>she’s 1/10
>>11860946Just have her gorilla-woman /ss/ the Figuarts Shinji like in those doujins.
>>11860946>tall adult womanPerfect
>>11860946No! I want SHF! Motherfuckers practically have all the tooling with that aftershave girl or One Piece bitches, wtf is taking so long? It was you assholes who planted the idea of Misato inmy fucking head, I was perfectly fine before not having a figure of her, now every day is a fucking torture!
>>11860727Can't wait for blue Zerogoki.
>>11860551>>11860724Needs wider chest/shoulders.
>>11860828EoE is more human-proportioned while Rebuilds are lanky.
>>11860773Well, SHF seems possible at least.
>>11860724>>11860727>>11860793>>11860777Fuck yes. The weight is over.
>>11860551>>11860724>>11860727Holy shit!>>11860777>tv chads we are so back>>11861354>Fuck yes. The weight is over.We eatin so fuckin good! Best designs are back!
Anyone bought the painted bootleg of this garage kit and can speak to the quality? I never buy expensive statues but this hits all my weak points, and of course it's some limited wonfes bullshit. Not sure why Kaworu always gets the shit end of the merch stick when he's super popular in certain areas of the fandom.
I still have all my Eva figures packed away since me move years back. Plus all the figures I've gotten since go right in a box.I painted a bookcase for them, but need to move stuff and redo this room.
I did take some out to check them and pack them better.
I actually found this witch Rei in a store in Salem near the Bewitched statue.
>>11861904>>11861906>>11861911Very nice collection anon.
>>11861911>I actually found this witch Rei in a store in Salem near the Bewitched statue.That's based. Also super cute Rei statue.Also man, I'm kinda hoping Blokees does a non-SD Shinji. Their Rei and Asuka were way too big and rather poorly articulated but the heads are quite nice and easy to swap onto other bodies, so a cheap Shinji to do the same with would be great. I have the SHF on preorder but he's not out for a while.
>>11860778Looks like a knockoff of the Nendo. I know Blockees is legit and officially licensed, but I hesitate to buy any mainline China companies. I'll even support a Hong Kong company over them.Though those Blockee entry plug model kits with the pilots look pretty good.
>>11862062It would be nicer if I fixed up my computer room, got that bookcase out of my garage, and unpacked my Rei figures to put in it.I actually had installed a light in the bookcase I had in my old apartment.
>>11861906What Lelliel is that?
>>11862152>I hesitate to buy any mainline China companies.Why?>Though those Blockee entry plug model kits with the pilots look pretty good.I have the figures, the dx ones with the entry plugs were expensive at the time but now they're being released for much cheaper, I kinda wanna pick em up now. Would be nice if they just sold the entry plugs for cheaper.
>>11862181I find Chinese companies, even the non bootleg ones, don't have as good quality control as even Hong Kong ones. Plus there is the whole aspect of them being under the thumb of the CCP.
