EVA-01 Figure

"Built here in secret, it is mankind’s last hope."

EVA-01, also known as Evangelion Unit-01, is one of the most iconic giant humanoids featured in the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. Piloted by Shinji, this EVA unit is used to combat mysterious beings known as Angels, which threaten the survival of humanity.

While usually adorned in armor, EVA-01, along with all other Evangelion units, are actually large humanoid creatures. Because they're usually dressed in armor, EVAs are often mistaken to be mechas, so it might be a bit of a shock to new viewers to see exactly how they look once the armor is removed.

Shinji's unit is not like the others, however. EVA-01 was created as the first test version of an Evangelion, so its appearance differs slightly from the following Evangelion units. But more impressively, it goes into Berserk mode frequently, where it no longer is controlled by its human pilot and instead acts on its own will and without a power source. Its strength also greatly increases during Berserk mode, showcasing exactly how threatening these weapons can truly be (RIP Zeruel).

But besides the strength and truth of EVA-01, another remarkable characteristic is its appearance. Like all Evangelion units, EVA-01 is massive, but with a purple and green color scheme and an oni-like horn (which are so popular that there's even a Digimon inspired by EVA-01). Its distinct style makes it one of the most popular options when it comes to anime figures from the Evangelion series!

If you're looking to add a strong cyborg to your team, a figure of EVA-01 are the perfection option: often showcasing exquisite attention to detail when it comes to recreating its distinct design, there's a large variety of figure options!

Perhaps one of the most popular options are action figures of the Evangelion unit: with so many memorable fight scenes in Neon Genesis Evangelion, it's perfect for recreating the moment exactly as you want. Many of these action figures also come equipped with accessories to really elevate your posing potential.

And if you're looking for a figure of EVA-01's most iconic scenes, there's no shortage of options. You have amazing options like seeing the moment the Evangelion goes into Berserk mode, its howling maw agape, or even this impressive (and massive) statue of the Evangelion vs Sachiel.

And if you're looking for something a little more off the beaten path, don't worry: you've still got options. Consider a Tamagotchi so you can care for your very own Evangelion, or maybe try dabbling in the crossover you didn't realize you needed — Godzilla and EVA-01.

As the Neon Genesis Evangelion series has evolved over time with various movies and remakes, so too have the EVA-01 figure. New releases may feature different color schemes, alternate forms, or updated designs inspired by the latest adaptations of the show. Limited-edition figures or a figure released to commemorate significant milestones in the series tend to be especially sought after by collectors.

A perfect blend of art and engineering, capturing the emotions and excitement of the anime, these collectibles allow you to bring the Evangelion universe on your shelves.
