Japanese model manufacturer Kaiyodo has launched its all-plastic model series 'ARTPLA'. At the 61st Shizuoka Hobby Show held today (the 10th), Kaiyodo unveiled the prototypes of its latest works themed on "Neon Genesis Evangelion": "ARTPLA EVA Unit-01 -Berserk-" and "ARTPLA EVA Unit-02 Beast Mode Second Form -THE BEAST- GEOFRONT Blood Battle-"!
The unpainted plastic model series "ARTPLA" inherits Kaiyodo's long-standing philosophy of "model as art," reproducing Kaiyodo's past Garage Kit masterpieces. The "ARTPLA EVA Unit-01 -Berserk-" unveiled this time is sculpted by Kaiyodo's chief animal sculptor "Shinobu Matsumura." Combining his expertise in creature sculpting techniques, he reinterprets Unit-01, showcasing its berserk, frenzied appearance as it tears apart the Fourth Angel!
