Following the earlier exhibition of its prototype at the "61st Shizuoka Hobby Show," veteran Japanese toy manufacturer Kaiyodo's plastic assembly model series "ARTPLA SCULPTURE WORKS" officially announced today (25th) a new product from "Neon Genesis Evangelion": "EVA Unit-02 Beast Mode Second Form The Beast Geofront Blood Battle"! It is scheduled for release starting September 2023.
This "EVA Unit-02 Beast Mode Second Form The Beast Geofront Blood Battle," sculpted by emerging artist "Kazuya Kira," is an unarticulated assembly model. The overall design is based on the proportions from the "Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance" setting illustrations, drawing inspiration from the stylistic essences of "Shinobu Matsumura," "Akira Tani," and "Katsuhisa Yamaguchi." It excels in shaping the organic feel, constructing mechanical details, and presenting a ferocious, dynamic pose, striving to achieve a peak sculpt that matches "The Beast"'s formidable power!
Although this product requires self-assembly and painting, the kit itself boasts a wealth of detail. The undulating muscle lines and organic depiction of Unit-02 are incredibly fierce! The Tenth Angel, pinned to the ground, also features a vivid portrayal of its agonizing scream and torn face. This is highly recommended for EVA fans and model-building enthusiasts!
▼ Purchases at Kaiyodo direct stores will also receive an A2-sized poster as a bonus!
