Evangelion Unit-01 Joins MODEROID DX-SCALE as Plastic Model
The DX-SCALE kit leans into the Evangelion's organic, non-robot movement with weapon-specific hands and a blacklight-reactive armor gimmick, signaling a model aimed at poseability over static display.

Good Smile Company's MODEROID DX-SCALE line is adding Evangelion Unit-01 from 'Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition.' The kit stands about 260mm tall, includes interchangeable hands for each weapon, and comes with the Lance of Cassius, Pallet Rifle, and Progressive Knife. It reproduces the Evangelion's unique movements and mouth-opening gimmick. Reservations are open at Rakuten Books.
The MODEROID DX-SCALE treatment of Evangelion Unit-01 is built around the idea that an Evangelion does not move like a robot. Dedicated interchangeable hands for the Lance of Cassius, Pallet Rifle, and Progressive Knife allow natural posing with each weapon, and the kit reproduces the mouth-opening gimmick seen in the film.
Some armor parts react to blacklight to recreate luminescent effects. Molded colors, clear parts, painted parts, and decals aim to match the film's color scheme with assembly alone. The kit is distributed by Good Smile Company and carries a reference price of 9,799 yen, with Rakuten Books listing it at 9,306 yen.
