Kaiju and giant mecha: Two great tastes that just go together. And now Eva Global is aiming to make that taste a bit more specific by combining a specific kaijuāGodzillaāand a specific giant mechaāthe Evangelion. The result is the Evangelion Godzilla Unit-01, a special model kit that debuted at the Wonder Festival 2021 [Winter] online event [Thanks, AmiAmi.]
As might be implied by the name, the Evangelion Godzilla Unit-01āformally named “EvangelionĀ v.Ā Godzilla Type-3 Dragon Machine, Eva Unit-01 Color Ver.”āis a blending of the two iconic giants. The results resemble Mecha-Godzilla sporting the Eva Unit-01’s distinctive purple, black, and green color scheme.
The Evangelion Godzilla Unit-01 model stands 240mm tall (about 9.5″) and was designed by plastic model outfit Aoshima. Like many other plastic models, it requires assembly from the parts attached to various molded runner frames.
Check out some footage recorded of the model by Twitter user @Amicoamiami:
