Good Smile Opens Preorders for Robo-Do Evangelion Unit-01 Awakening Figure
The figure leans on light and transparency rather than bulk to sell the awakening scene, a nod to collectors who already own the standard Unit-01 releases.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Good Smile Company is taking preorders for the Robo-Do Evangelion Unit-01 Pseudo-Shin Awakening Form, a figure of the form Unit-01 takes in Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition. It stands about 25cm tall on a die-cast frame with roughly 48 points of articulation. Red armor parts use UV fluorescent paint, the eyes have an LED light-emitting feature, and the left arm uses transparent material. Accessories include a halo effect, A.T. Field effects, an open-mouth head, and a core-exposed chest part.
The Robo-Do line is getting the awakened Unit-01, the version that pushes past its limits in Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition. Good Smile Company builds it on a die-cast frame with roughly 48 points of articulation, which gives the figure enough weight to hold poses without a stand.
The eerie look comes from two things: UV fluorescent paint on the red armor and an LED unit built into the eyes. The left arm, remade by an A.T. Field, uses transparent material, and the attack effect parts let buyers rebuild the moment Unit-01 overwhelms the 10th Angel. The halo effect, open-mouth head, and core-exposed chest part round out the set.
