SO wait, did they actually made a new mold for this? or just

Too lazy to boot up photoshop for you.

Flip between these two links in your browser tabs, you can see the parts that are different and the parts that got re-used.

is this going to sell out quickly? should I buy now or wait? i'm fucking poor at the moment

It's a Kotobukiya plastic model - they will definitely reprint it at least once

Probably many times, since it's an Eva-01

>>5871258

okay thanks

Hope they do all 00, 02, and 03 this time. The blue 00 not the yellow. Then the MP.

I wonder how much better it's going to be than the old LM-HG. I got that one recently and after some seam removal and paint it'll be top-notch. I'm surprised how good of a kit it is for being 20 years old.

The posing on this is incredible. Those feet are firmly planted on the floor.

Damn that looks nice. I've never had a Kotobukiya kit before though. Do they make quality stuff?

>>5871660
I was wondering about that myself. Actually never bought any kit before, but this looks super fun

My only experience with them was the Rockman kits and they were pretty good quality.

anyone know if they're making rei and asukas suits?

>>5871737
>suits

>>5871660
Good quality. Generally between Bandai's HG and MG stuff in terms of quality, but closer to MG. Prices aren't as good as Bandai's for what you get though. But that's mostly because they're not as large a company.

>>5872233
Thanks!

Hope we get a SYNC ratio of 400% version too

How much work do the Eva kits need to look decent enough like the promo pics?

I've only bought Gundam kits and have never bought one of the Evas so I'm just curious how much work is required and if the parts are already molded in the colors.

>>5872603
Glad to know I'm not the only one

>Koto kit
Can't go wrong with Koto, they're steps ahead of Bandai in buildability and quality of the finished product for the price. More bang for your buck.

>>5871660
Some of their kits had problems with polycaps breaking because their polycap material isn't as good as Bandai's, but otherwise they're generally pretty good. Usually a bit on the expensive side for what you get though.

>>5871473
I got so happy when I saw this, I thought eva tv shit was dead forever.

I also hope this >>5872603 happens.

>>5871660
on the eva kit the balljoint on the elbow have tendencies to break in time. The left arm of my Eva 01 breaked after one years without anything. and the right begins to cracked.

>>5871224
Is that painted or do these kits look that good out of the box?

>>5873114
Koto kits are colored plastic snap together like bandai. Plastic quality is slightly worse but overall solid kits.
Promo shots are almost always painted so yeah that one probably is

>>5872667
Thats the reverse, koto kits are less durable because the plastic is low quality and worse buildability because Bandai has a number of patented injection mold techniques that no other company will ever be able to use.

>>5873076
Did the polycaps tear for you? I'm beginning to think the polycaps are too much like rubber and degrade like rubber does.

>>5873207
they do have patents but the techniques for improving buildability are already being used by other companies even well before bandai started doing it

How much work in terms of painting etc it'll require? Or is it pretty much just assembling and will look good

>>5873207
Ignore him. He's a koto shill. He pops up sometimes on the Gunpla general. Koto is definitely not Bandai quality, they're barely better than the "good" Chinese brands like Dragon Momoko and Daban.

Koto has had known problems with their polycaps and brittle plastic for years and they've done little to fix it apparently.
