Blokees have fully boarded the Studio Khara train, as following the release of its debut Neon Genesis Evangelion model kit, the EVA-01, the Chinese hobby company has brought two more of the 1995 anime’s mechs into the fold with the release of the EVA-00 and EVA-02 Action Edition.
Set in a similar scale to the EVA-01, the two new model kits come with a host of character-specific accessories, with the EVA-00 even featuring a much larger box due to its massive shield (more on that below). Both units promise the same impressive levels of articulation Blokees fans have come to expect, and mark a promising continuation of what hopefully would become a full line-up of all the Evangelion mechs, and most importantly, their pilots too.
In terms of runner count, the EVA-00 clocks a total of 33 runners and six bags of additional loose parts, plus an additional massive effect piece to complement the mechs’ equally impressive Enchanted Shield of Virtue (ESV Shield), which is even taller than the unit itself. The EVA-02, on the other hand, comes in 32 runners and five bags of loose parts, with its headliner accessory being the GB-012 Thunder Spear rifle, which even includes a neat gimmick where it can be transformed to seamlessly stow its attached bayonet. Check out how all the pieces come together in the video above, which covers the unboxing, building process, and impressions for both kits.
The Blokees EVA-00 Action Edition is now available via online retailers at prices starting from US$49.99, while the EVA-02 Action Edition costs US$39.99.
