Bandai RG Neon Genesis Evangelion Unit-01
This model embodies the technological pinnacle of the famous piloted bio-mecha from the Neo-Tokyo 3 timeline. Every part of the internal structure reproduces the original organic design whilst featuring a level of engraving detail unprecedented for this compact scale. The subtle shades of the coloured plastics create a striking visual contrast that brings the giant humanoid to life as soon as assembly is complete, without the need for any paintwork.
The exclusive articulation system in this version incorporates an advanced internal skeleton that allows the flexibility of the spine and the human body to be reproduced with remarkable fluidity. The armour plates slide in synchronisation with the limbs’ movements to preserve the unit’s lines during its most dynamic combat stances and frantic sprints. This centrepiece stands as the indispensable heart of any display dedicated to the world of humanity’s protectors.
