Looking for discussion and recommendations on EVA figures, preferably only EVAs and not waifu shit.

Chogokin look like ass, Revoltechs are cheap and look like shit as well.

Is there anything that surpasses the original Kaiyodo Xebeq figures? They're not well articulated but the likeness is uncanny.

Comparison

Nothing hits my nostalgia more than them old Kaiyodo figures, and the paint is excellent. I know those big-ass eva figures exist, but other than those, are there any 4-6 inch figures that are better than Xebec?

I have just discovered that not only is there a real life train patterned after EVA 01, but that that train cameo-ed as a transforming robot in a show about transforming train robots, and then they made a toy of a simplified version of its design:

The older Chogokins are a bit naff looking but the Soul SPEC ones for the Rebuild films are really nice, and I believe they did do a TV Unit-01 in that line too. Otherwise, the Kotobukiya kits will be the best all-rounders, they've got a bunch of Rebuild bits and a TV Unit-01 and 02 so far, with a blue Unit-00 on the way. I'm hoping we get a yellow Unit-00 with the big shield, really like that design, especially the Rebuild version with the even bigger and fancier shield.

Do tell. Cause the general wisdom is that rubber-coated joints can be taken care of to some extent (keep out of direct sunlight, don't keep them bent for long periods of time, etc) but all of them inevitably crack eventually.

I admittedly haven't heard any tales of these particular figures cracking yet, but it seems hard to believe that Medicom suddenly solved a problem that has been plaguing toy manufacturers for literal decades and didn't even say anything about it.

This. The Soul SPEC Evas are probably the best prebuilt figures of the TV Evas we're ever going to get. I have XS-01R and she is a thing of absolute beauty.

Also I do quite like the EvaEvo Revoltechs, I'm not even massively keen on the Rebuilds but I love the way they look enough that I'm happy to think of them as like AU Evas.

There are spinoff games, mangas and novel(s?) that is parallel of, to wacky comedy version of the same characters and setting.

So it's not just the anime and the reboot movies. Most big name anime IPs have dozens more relating books constantly coming one way or the other.

If you've been paying close attention, there are some visual differences. More apt to say they look exactly like downsized RAHs, which they essentially are, since Medicom makes both RAH and Mafex.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean, I've definitely been paying attention with great interest. There's enough differences to set them apart. It's just that at this stage I haven't seen anything that would convince me to get these figures over the Robot Spirits version which had great paint application, good tight joints and great sculpt and articulation. The extra accessories do look good and maybe if they extend the line to include figures RD didn't do like Eva 04 and 06.

I think the main thing to wait for will be to see just how fine the paint application ends up being on the final product. If they can get even more detail then Robot Spirits (which they definitely have in their promo shots, but production version doesn't always match promo) then that could really move it to a higher level.

Now if Mafex had done the TV versions instead they would have been insta-buys for me.

For me, the biggest reason to get the Mafex are the better proportions (the RD's abdomen silhouette is a bit strange in retrospect), and most importantly, the headsculpt. Despite the fact that the RDs used the 3D data from the movies, the 01 head looks just terrible to me. I don't know what went wrong, but I just hate it. The Mafex (and RAH) head looks significantly better to me.

I may be overly picky here though. I'm pretty particular about my Eva 01 headsculpts, I feel like 95% of the toy/kit ones we've gotten over the years are bad or wrong in one way or another. I think it's just a tough one to nail, getting the right proportions while maintaining the right feel. Even shaping the eye wrong can make the whole head feel wonky.

Kaiyodos are the best display figures imo. Not only do they capture the look from the series very well, they also have that 90s toy aura, perfect match for Evangelion. Not only that but the paint is so 90s and excellent (metallic versions).

I have a Chogokin "superior" EVA 04 but the Xebeq 04 is miles better for a display figure.

Not paper, it's like thin plastic sheets. But yeah, you have to cut them out yourself.
The finished product looks cool though but I can't be arsed to actually do it. Especially the painting part.

You can probably get it for cheap on ebay.
I plan to get into assembling/painting model kits when I'm older. Seems like a good hobby, but I never had the patience.
The only complex one I assembled was pic related. It has a really complex skeleton with lots of joints, and then you have to stuff the skeleton inside the rubber skin. I remember spending lots of nights scratching my head building it when I was 13. It was fun, but I barely had the patience to do it.
I never painted it though, but it didn't really need it (although the manual implies that the white parts should be painted)

Speaking of the rubber skin, how does it hold up? How durable it is?

I have these Yamato 00 and 01, they're not very articulated but I like the metallic paint a lot.
I bought them at different stores years ago, apparently 00 is imported and the 01 is from a line that was made for distribution outside of Japan, has different packaging and comes with more accessiories (00 has Longinus Lance, mine doesn't), I thought I'd get 03 to complete the collection and 00 just for the lance, but it I'm having trouble finding them, there are two 02's in my country, one is missing the progressive knife and the other is mint but three times the original price, and there's no 00 in sight.
Any help finding them at a reasonable price is appreciated

Get some cheap high grade gundam kits, they're really easy, quick to build, and great for practice. Dont need paint with newer ones as they have nice colored plastics
If you just wait to develop the patience, you won't. You gotta build easy modern kits until it becomes easy. Then get into older, more technical stuff

We need Shinji. Misato, & Gendo figmas.

Regular Asuka plugsuit would be nice, too.

And angels from any company for the evas to fight

I always wanted to get into the hobby, maybe when I'm older. Having a desk with all the different pencils and brushes and stuff sounds fun.
Thanks for the advice, I do want some Gundams anyway.
I've also wanted Nadia's Nautilus for a long time now.

Really you can get just one xacto knife and cheap nippers, then sit on the floor and make most modern gunpla over newspaper. Its that simple.
Let nothing hold you back anon. I build harder gunpla while reading subs and i'm definitely not good at gunpla

There is no way Kaiyodo wouldn't remake all the TV Evas in a new format eventually. They have a subline specifically for Evangelion.
I assume they're waiting to get the final movie over with so there will be no weird internal sales conflict hurting profits by doing both simultaneously.

One, you act like Kaiyodo actually has final say in this, and two, the OG designs are seen as a bigger financial risk than Rebuild. There's a reason only like one company has done TV designs in years, and even then they were retools of Rebuild molds.

You mean it's Anno who have the final say?

So that's why they look like shitty Rebuild without all the ugly stripes!

They are indeed.
Yamato USA is the only company on the box besides Gainax, there isn't a single セガエンタープライセスanywhere. Apparently the Real Model line didn't get metallic paint versions of the Evas so I don't know what the fuck is going on.

To be fair, they're posed really badly/awkwardly in that shot. You gotta remember that those same awkward figures are capable of some of the most sublime posing capable in all of action figuredom.

They make figures they think they can make money on and pay for the license. So yeah they sort of do. Are you saying the Khara and/or Gainax put a ban on them? No Bandai and Koto made new TV items. What are you on about?
And what's wrong with retools in model kits? it happens all the time, that's how you make money with model kits.

Or are you saying why would it be Kaiyodo and not somewhere else? Only because they have done the most over the years that's all.

They still hilariously fucked up the hip joint design. All they had to do was to have the same setup similar to kinnikuman shf.

I have the classic Kaiyodo Evas from 06-07. After a few years the plastic seemed to get very brittle and the weapons and power cables for the figures would just break. I boxed them up after I got the Robot Damashii line. Frankly I think the RD ones are much better looking figures than revoltechs, but revoltech seems to be the only line doing the original anime design.

The RDs are amazing figures, but to be honest I'm selling off my only RD Eva (00) and I'm planning on collecting the EvaEvo Revoltechs instead. Even though they're less accurate than the RDs they're just as expressive and they just look cool- like, the proportions are what I wish the Rebuild Evas had looked like to begin with. I'm actually collecting them with a view to them representing this spergy AU I've been coming up with (notably featuring Touji, Kensuke and Hikari piloting Unit 03, 04 and 05 respectively).

It was just two sets of ball joints with the SHF swing down hip joint. IT WAS NOTHING NEW. That's a dumb argument too because we're not talking about some miracle innovations here. The guy who designed those RD Eva hips was simply stupid and everyone else too blind to see how ridiculous they look doing the slightest of splits.
What probably happened was they thought they came up with such a new and different way to articulate the Eva hips they became too proud to change it to something so simple as a series of ball joints.
