Sorry for delay but my dude and dudettes but the "MENG Rebuild of Evangelion EVA Unit-01" Is complete. If you do it's like this build, please let me know I'll be more than happy to purchase Eva unit 3 in the next couple of months. Other then that, Happy new years my dudes and dudettes 🦊👌🏾
Your PG Eva unit-01 build was the first video of yours that I ever watched, and this really brings back memories of trying to save up money to paint but never being able to.
Happy to see this kit done, Meng might be my new favourite kit makers after I've tried this and the ninja bike, high quality kits. I have unit 02 sitting next to my desk ready to go and I've just seen they're releasing a 1.5 version of this for people who don't like to paint.
Yes looking forward to the new version. I was so excited for the original release but the sculpt and proportions are awful especially the massive head. Will definitely pick up the 1.5 and glad I waited.
Sweet awesome EVA kit, it's even taller than the Dynaction EVA-01 kit (40cm) by Bandai. The only flaws that I find, if they can be called flaws, are the no light up "1" on the shoulders and to actually using the power cable as actual power cable to light up the LEDs.
Tooth color is called Deck Tan(Tamiya), not to correct you, but just pointing out a fun mistake. Not to worry, Im colorblind and still paint model kits lol. What a great build, hoping this kit will be reasonable and available in the future
I doing the led for the PG unicorn with the led it comes with. But i am having trouble finding a extension for the led wire for a custom job was wondering if you know where i would some with that connector?
300 dollars??? Gundamit has it for 150~. My local hobbyshop had it for that price too on preorder. There's a 1.5 version releasing soon for even less with better proportions and at a lower cost (At the cost of it not being prepainted or having the spear and gatling as accessories). The model is really neat, but definitely has weight issues and would have benefitted from having better ankle articulation.
MENG is great, but I still prefer the BANDAI PG, the new evangelion looks like a tall and skinny alien, instead the old one has more muscles and is more faithful to ANIME Neon Genesis Evangelion!!, MENG vs BANDAI? Gainax vs Khara? Which do you prefer?
Bandai PG is perfect for the TV appearance and the new Meng '1.5' release with corrected sculpt looks very close to the NTE appearance. Probably close to the Kotobukiya kit for accuracy. Personally I prefer the TV version but the PG kit is painful haha.
New type HQ got some in stock. Burbank Hobbies just got one a couple of days ago. If you can't find it within those two mom and pop shops your best bet will probably be eBay
