Here are the Eva Chogokin figures released so far: http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?searchpage=top_page&Dis=-2&from=detail&Word=evangelion%20chogokin They've made them for all the Eva units, with the notable exception of the lovely mass production Evangelion (my favorite). The "Spec XS" ones are the new series like the one in the review.

The apostrophe in 00' just means it's the blue-painted version, as opposed to the yellow one in the first half of the series. It's pronounced and sometimes written "Eva-00 Kai."

I would love to have one of these Chogokin figures. I like that you get to put the armor on and everything, kind of like a model kit.


Thanks for the link, now once I get enough money saved I think I'll go blow me some of it on these.

If you want cheaper high quality EVA figures I suggest the Revoltech ones. About 20 bucks, tons of accessories, and sturdy.

Hopefully, seeing all these EVA figures as part of the series is a good sign that we'll see Gurren Lagann mechs in the near future, which would be incredibly awesome.


I wouldn't count on it, Konami already made one.

What is the first Unit shown? It looks 00 with a face lift?

It's unit 00' with all of the armor removed. Like Bandai's MG and PG gundam models, these Soul of Chogokin EVA's all have fully removable armor, upping the AWSHUM factor by 100%!

Gah! Do I buy the TV versions or the movie versions?

Any reason why the Rebuild of Eva Unit 01 is cheaper than the other Eva models?

Probably to capitalize on the movie. It gives fans one more reason to get the movie version. Though personally, I'm not a fan of all the new neon green.

SoC are great toys. I finally got the GX-34 Gunbuster, and love just about everything. Only the back is inaccurate. Given it's transformability, it's a fair trade-off.

I am normally much too practical to spend money on something like this, however this does look really tempting.
Don't tempt me with further collections/addictions! Can't I just play with someone else's for awhile to get it out of my system?

This does look awesome, nice write-up. Thanks for all the great pics.
