TUFF TOY TUESDAY: Eva-01

Animetrix Neon Genesis Evangelion Eva-01 Purple Figure
Japanese Import, Made in China
Year: Unknown
Scale: 7inches

Today we’ll be looking at “Ikari Shinj’s Eva-Unit” from one of my favorite animes, Neon Genesis Evangelion. For those non-anime fans, you might just want to look for the “dick jokes” during my review. Think of it like a crossword, but with sticky fingers.

Does this cheap figure hold up to the movie/series’ look? Yes, though there are lots better out for obviously more coin. Likable attributes include the following to get one’s own Eva unit…erected:

  • Authentic coloring (Deep purple Eva-Unit with lime-green accents)
  • Relevant accessories ( Plug for suit, long sniper rifle, knife, and machine gun)
  • Pose able (smooth articulation for an affordable figure)

I really like the sturdy packaging on Shinji, my only quarrel would be it’s all written in Japanese and I can’t read a fuckin’ thing. Perhaps it does reveal the date that it was manufactured? Perhaps…not? Who the fuck cares! You don’t. Think of it like sex. You and I both know you’re lame as a limp dick in Lithuania. Doesn’t matter though, as long as you know you’re the fuckin’ bomb for 11-15 pumps. Those pumps say…”You like that?!” “Me too!!! Hold still before I, I, uuuhhhhh…..sorry babe.

I’m not sure this is the sort of toy to crack out when showing off your collection. I believe it’s the sort of thing you’d admire once you realize…”Fuck, when the hell did I get this?” “Why is this robot suit purple?” or my personal favorite “Do I have time to masturbate before my girlfriend comes home?” Highly recommended to collect these as a series all at once – only for the mere fact that if you purchase just one, chances are you’ll never give a shit to complete your collection.
