Product Description
Without question, this is the ultimate EVA kit. The completed item stands 34.5cm high, bigger than nearly every other EVA kit that has been released. The basic structure is completely different from the existing LM-HG kits. An inner, posable skeleton of heavy-duty, semi-hard plastic is covered by soft, black, rubber covers that conceal the inner frame at the "gaps" in the EVA's armor at joints, on the abdomen and other places. This rubber suit is then covered in turn by the usual outer plastic panels. This structure, the designers say, give it a durability and poseability well beyond what you are used to seeing in Bandai HG and MG kits. Also, in addition to doing all the things that the LM-HG kits do, this kit's shoulder panels open (both sides) for weapon storage, and a plug-in power pack (takes 2 AAA batteries) lights up the EVA logos on its shoulders. Five sets of hands are included, as are the Pallet Gun, Progressive Knife, Two swords (long & short) with scabbards, the inner Eva head and a red metallic-plated "core."

Great model. Not for playing with!
By William
After a lot of research I found this to be the best model for me... Since my favorite anime is Evangelion, what I basically wanted was decoration, I just wanted a Unit-01 to sit on the shelf and look pretty and that's exactly what this one does and that's ALL. It's also the largest and most detailed Unit-01 figure that has ever been made so that was right up my alley... It was really fun to build. This was the first "gundam" model I've ever built and I've fallen in love. I will definitely be building more(I wish they would have made all the Eva's in Perfect Grade)... There is very little painting involved(You only NEED to paint the weapons) but, painting looks much better than using the stickers... Even though the directions are in Japanese, they are all illustrated in great detail and are very easy to follow... All that being said; If you're looking for a toy or something you can pose in many different positions, then look at a High Grade model or an action figure... This model is SUPER delicate because of the rubber suit that goes under the armor. While building it I broke and had to glue 2 pieces to the model because of the rubber suit. If played with, you'll break a whole lot more than just 2 pieces... It also restricts movement almost completely... To sum up: Awesome model/decoration. Not a toy.

Don't waste your money on this one
By Kaneda0082
For a perfect grade kit it's simply not very good. (I have 3 other perfect grade Gundams) The main problem is with the black rubber jacket that goes over the skeleton. It seems like a good idea for realism, but model wise it constricts its movements so that its only pose is standing straight up. Plus it causes some of the purple rib pieces and orange neck parts to simply fall off because the design of attaching them over the rubber. The only thing this kit has going for it is that it is big. You're much better off getting a dynamic posing action figure instead. It could have been so awesome. What were you thinking Bandai?

Awsome but complicated
By Franksta88
Excellent quality, Seems durable enough, really difficult to put together requires you to go online because the instructions it comes with are Japanese.
