EVA-00 Prototype Blue Kaiyodo

Name: EVA-00 Prototype Action Figure
Version: Metallic Blue
Size: 15-20 cm
Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Company: Kaiyodo
Sculpted by: Katsuhisa Yamaguchi
Released: late 2002
Added to collection: 02/01/06

Detailed review here.

I'm really quite impressed with this action figure. The poseability and the many optional parts makes it a great figure as well as its high level of details and the metallic blue paint scheme. The Eva comes with several pair of hands, a 20x positron canon, a sniper rifle, an N2 mine, and the umbilical cable. The articulations and joints are well designed so it can have many different action-poses, including the lie-down sniper-pose. The high level of craftmanship for a price much less than the usual 1/8 figure makes this figure a great buy.

Another available Eva figures are the die-cast metallic Soul of Chogokin Eva figures by Bandai which are of superior quality but are about 3-4 times more expensive (way out of the budget for me).
