EVA-FRAME: Evangelion Shin Gekijouban Vol.01


  Over this past one year, Toys Manufacturer have been intensively milking the Eva franchise in anticipation of the final movie and now Bandai is making an interesting product for the series with their G-Frame lineup. After surviving for three years, Gundam Candy Toys lineup G-Frame now spread its wing to another mecha series, Evangelion with Eva Frame. Just like G-Frame, EVA Frame features 13 cm mecha action figure with detachable armor and inner frame as its main gimmick which Bandai give a very promising inner frame for this one. For the Price of 4000 Yen which cost roughly the same with a single EVA Robot Spirit, EVA-Frame will be scheduled for February 2021 release

  The first volume of EVA Frame series start with a solid bang as it features the classic EVA 00, 01 and 02 team which still remain iconic after more than 20 years. EVA-Frame came in 8 Boxes for each package which contain 6 Boxes for Eva Unit inner-frame and armor Parts then 2 boxes for Hangar and additional weapons. The Volume of EVA-Frame also came with Premium version which include positron rifle and shield to reenact Yashima Operation. 

Given the potential of the new EVA-Frame lineup, i think the series could last for 3rd volume at least which Bandai probably will throw in some Angels and other obscure EVA designs. I hoped the first volume could have included the Magorok E-Sword but probably that one will be reserved with Armored EVA-01 in the future EVA-Frame release. Given its size, EVA-Frame also had quite good compatibility with Shodo Ultraman so you can pit Eva units against some Kaijus for varieties. Lastly i am quite sure Evangelion will get another candy toys possibly Ensemble or even Chogokin Hello Kitty by Bandai given it already got several like Coonuts and Gasha Portraits.
