Kotobukiya Re-Releases Evangelion Unit-01 TV Ver. Plastic Model
The reprint gives new buyers a chance to pick up a detailed, TV-accurate Evangelion Unit-01 kit that emphasizes articulation and scene reproduction over static display.
Reporting from 1 sources: Inside.
Kotobukiya is reprinting the Evangelion Unit-01 TV Ver. plastic model, originally sculpted by Yuichi Kuwamura. The kit reproduces the TV series design with a wide range of motion, including articulated fingertips for breaking AT fields. It includes multiple hand parts, pre-painted pieces, and accessories like the entry plug and progressive knife. The model is priced at 6,380 yen and ships in November.
The kit, designed by sculptor Yuichi Kuwamura, focuses on retaining the TV series look while offering a wide range of motion. The jaw can drop one step before opening, matching the show's animation. The entry plug slides out as the back block moves, and the shoulder knife storage deploys via replacement parts.
Kotobukiya includes 11 PVC hand parts-fists, open hands, a gun/knife holding hand, bent-finger open hands, and grasping open hands-to reduce assembly time and improve grip. Pre-painted sections cover the white of the eyes and the green jaw tip. The set also comes with an entry plug, umbilical cable, progressive knife, and pallet rifle. The model is scheduled for release in November at 6,380 yen.
