Evangelion Unit 00

Hey everyone! I just had to share more about my latest model kit obsession: the Real Grade (RG) Evangelion Unit 00 Rebuild. My initial post only scratched the surface, but seriously, these RG Eva kits are on another level, and Unit 00 is no exception. If you're on the fence about getting one, let me tell you why it's absolutely worth it! Building this kit was such a fantastic experience. From the moment I opened the box, the part separation and color accuracy really impressed me. You get that signature Eva look right out of the box, with minimal need for painting if you're just looking for a straight build. The inner frame, often a highlight of RG kits, is incredibly well-engineered. It allows for a wide range of articulation, letting you recreate some iconic poses from the anime. I particularly loved assembling the leg sections; the way parts like 25 and 26 slot together creates a sturdy yet flexible joint. One of the standout features for me was the articulation in the torso and limbs. You can get some incredibly dynamic poses. For instance, the shoulder armor, comprised of parts like 24 and 27, moves independently, which is crucial for those aggressive combat stances. And let's not forget the head! The detail on the 'eyes' and main sensor, with parts 23 and 22, truly brings Unit 00 to life. The engineering even allows for a subtle 15-degree tilt in certain ankle or wrist joints, adding to the posing options without compromising stability. For anyone who's built other RG kits, you'll find the construction familiar, but with some unique Eva twists. I'd recommend having a good pair of nippers and a hobby knife for cleaning up nubs. While the color separation is great, a little panel lining can really make the details pop, especially on those intricate armor pieces. Don't rush the inner frame, take your time, as it's the backbone of your finished model. Compared to some other Evangelion models, the RG line really captures the sleek, almost organic feel of the Evas while providing the detail and engineering expected from a modern Real Grade kit. Unit 00, with its more utilitarian design compared to Unit 01, has its own unique charm, and this kit perfectly translates that. It feels substantial in hand, but also incredibly posable. If you're a #gunplabuilder or an Evangelion fan, adding the RG Evangelion Unit 00 Rebuild to your collection is a no-brainer. It's not just a model; it's an experience that really celebrates the design of this iconic mecha. Trust me, once you build one, you'll be eyeing the rest of the RG Eva line!
