Actually mecha when the eva unit 1 opened it’s mouth in the rebuild movies it’s teeth were also red in color which is a change they did from the og series as it had white teeth back then

@shooflies Год назад

I was thinking that, i remembered the eva with red teeth

@demogeymidge2997 Год назад

It had red teeth originally in the anime too till Ep 19 then it was white (likely due to it breaking the restraints off screen), weird thing is in 3.0+1.0 Eva 01 had red teeth for the beginning of the final fight then it had white teeth. So the kit being color accurate is yes and no.

@yangatsoul7674 Год назад

If you look at it as the base height of Eva unit 01, it is actually 1/144 scale if you consider the 40meters vs HG Granddaddy's 18 meters :) ( scale enthusiast here ! )

@xavierktolentino8373 Год назад

if the height of the model is 19 inches, scaling it to 1:144 would put its height at around 70 meters, comparing it to the SOC DX Voltes V (14 inches) which makes it around 50-55 meters

@JS-fz8iu Год назад

I love that the MG is the "best" comparison for size based off canon heights for the two.

@HighEffortUsername 17 дней назад

@gooselord_prime Год назад

Just a heads up the link in the description takes you to a discontinued listing but they have a reissue of the kit that currently on backorder for $90 on HLJ. Absolutely insane amount of kit for that price.

@V2ULTRAKill Год назад

Thanks for letting me know about the reissue

@gooselord_prime Год назад

@@V2ULTRAKill BBTS also has a preorder for it as well since they always get stuff later on, but they're selling it for $200. Probability becuase they have to import it themselves but that seems like too much of a mark up.

@braveng7909 Год назад

That 90 dollar one says the led unit is sold separately though which is very odd

@gooselord_prime Год назад

@@braveng7909 I did see that which is weird. The discontinued version was $20 so I guess that's what the difference in price is. But I can't find it listed separately. But if there's already space for the lighting unit it shouldn't be too hard to set up a custom lighting solution for $20 but hopefully they sell the light kit separately at some point. The Unit-2 on HLJ comes with one so it's really strange they took it out of Unit-1

@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4 Год назад

The gundam marker chrome silver has a much better shine on the side where it’s meant to be on the outside(I don’t know how else to describe it, but I hope you get what I mean), so it’s better to paint it not on the underside of the gem, but on the red part and then attach the gem piece over it

the thing on the hand broke my heart even more than my e- I mean the Eva is apparently 40-95 meters tall meanwhile the gundam is only 18, they finally made an accurate mg maybe even hg Eva :D, ALSO if you get this kit I would recommend not using mark softer for the water decals because it can rub the paint off ( I use mark softer for removing panel lining errors lol)

@angus1321 Год назад

Have you built the LMHG Eva's? I have the 01 & it was a great build. Around the size of an MG & pretty solid.

@ilikegiantrobots1775 Год назад

@@angus1321 I have not actually. I personally think that the proportions aren’t all that accurate. The shoulders are too broad, the chest is too big, and the waist looks too thin. I think the RG’s get most of everything right it accuracy, I just wish the arms had a more realistic design instead of having a gimmick, of which in turn makes the Eva look like she actually has armor instead of it just being on there to prevent something. That’s really my only gripe about them, my plan for Unit 02 is to paint the forearms orange, and file down the head crest because I absolutely despise the Rebuild Unit 02 design partly because of that. I don’t really know if I’m going to do it, but I plan to build Unit 00 into her finished form, and paint the yellow parts blue to make her seem closer to the Neon Genesis appearance. This is only to make them seem closer to their NGE counterparts, but I’m still going to leave the chest stripe in the middle so they’re not 100% the same as NGE. Just small things easily fixed by some painting

@zacharyradford5552 Год назад

The PG Eva sucks. The rubber body suit is a pain up the anus to deal with. Even if the Meng Eva cost whatever 100,000 yen would be in your country I wouldn’t recommend the PG Eva.

@epgessus Год назад

@braveng7909 Год назад

Problem is Eva scale is wildly inconsistent

@nyugvo6 Год назад

they considered making the eva 65 meters tall in the original series, as a tribute to ultraman but it didn't work out at all. iirc they're 80 meters in the rebuild series?

@Gemini476 Год назад

@@nyugvo6 Yeah, the Eva units from the original series vary wildly between ~40m for hangar scenes and ~80m for battle scenes. However, this model is of the Rebuild version (hence the red teeth etc.), which is somewhat consistently 80m. Honestly, it's just one of those things where the Gundam is designed to be able to hide behind trees while an Eva is designed to be slammed into skyscrapers.

@kamenridersliv555 Год назад

Honestly, as someone incredibly starved for 1/144th models/figures outside of Gundams and some other stray Sunrise productions, I can work with it lmfao. I'm not gonna be too picky about 2-3 inches missing for scale, especially since it's not advertised with a specific one, for something already that expensive. Not really related, but someday I hope to recreate a SRW game's cast and have them all scale pretty well each other.
