Neon Genesis Evangelion Unit-02 Figure

To celebrate the upcoming release of Neon Genesis Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 yet another special Unit-02 figure is available to pre-order. Unlike the Nanoblock Unit-02 that was recently released, this model is more in line with the full realized design of this particular Eva. This 25cm tall figure comes with a multitude of accessories and has forty-eight moveable joints. This makes for a multitude of possible dynamic poses. The Robo Dou Eva Unit-02 figurine will cost ¥16,000 which is roughly $150. The figurine will release sometime in December 2020. [Thanks, Famitsu!] As mentioned above, the Robo Dou Neon Genesis Evangelion Unit-02 figure will come with a wide range of accessories. This includes five pairs of hands, and a variety of weapons. The Thunder Spear and Prog Knives are some of the weapons you’ll be able to accessorize this statue with. The figurine also comes with a stand if you’re solely interested in displaying the Unit-02. You can check out images of the Robo Dou Unit-02 statue below.
