Bandai 1/144 RG Evangelion Unit 00

Bandai 1/144 RG Evangelion Unit 00

The Bandai 1/144 RG Evangelion Unit 00 is a Real Grade model kit recreating Rei Ayanami's iconic blue Evangelion from Neon Genesis Evangelion, built with Bandai's advanced RG inner frame system that delivers exceptional detail and articulation at 1/144 scale. This kit captures Unit 00's distinctive blue armour, bio-mechanical construction, and angular Eva design with the surface detail and engineering depth that the Real Grade line is known for. The RG Evangelion series applies Gunpla's most sophisticated 1/144 engineering to the Eva franchise, delivering a build experience and finished result that goes significantly beyond standard model kits.

This kit is designed for intermediate builders and features snap-fit assembly with no glue required.

What sets the RG Evangelion Unit 00 apart is the combination of Real Grade inner frame engineering and Eva-specific bio-mechanical design details that make this a genuinely complex and rewarding build. The RG inner frame provides a fully articulated skeleton beneath the armour panels, allowing for dynamic combat poses that capture Unit 00's fighting style from the series. The blue armour panels layer over the inner frame with the precision fit that Real Grade is known for, and the surface detail across the armour and mechanical sections rewards close inspection. This is best suited for Evangelion fans who want the most detailed 1/144 Unit 00 available and intermediate builders who want a more challenging and rewarding build than a standard HG kit.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Real Grade Inner Frame: Fully articulated RG skeleton beneath the armour panels for exceptional poseability and structural integrity
  • Rei Ayanami's Unit 00: Faithfully recreates the iconic blue Evangelion with accurate armour proportions and bio-mechanical details
  • Advanced Surface Detail: RG-level panel lines and mechanical details across armour and frame components
  • Dynamic Combat Posing: RG articulation supports a wide range of Unit 00's combat poses from the series
  • Blue Colour Separation: Unit 00's distinctive blue colour scheme achieved through moulding without painting
  • Bio-Mechanical Design: Eva-specific organic and mechanical hybrid construction details faithfully recreated
  • Intermediate Build Challenge: More complex and rewarding than standard HG kits with RG engineering depth

Perfect For:

Evangelion fans who want the most detailed and poseable 1/144 Unit 00 available. Intermediate builders who want a more challenging and rewarding build than a standard HG kit. RG collectors building the complete Evangelion unit lineup from Unit 00 through to Mark 06. Display enthusiasts who want Unit 00's distinctive blue armour and bio-mechanical design at Real Grade detail level. Rei Ayanami fans who want her iconic Eva as a centrepiece display piece. Anyone who wants to pair Unit 00 with the DX Positron Cannon Set for the iconic self-sacrifice scene configuration.

Builder Notes:

A fun, relatively straightforward build with excellent articulation and a generous six pairs of hands included for expressive posing. One known issue to be aware of.

The grey section of the upper arm near the elbow lacks a full inner frame connection and falls out when the arm is moved. This affects every kit. Applying a small amount of plastic cement to that connection and allowing it to set completely before posing is the recommended fix. Nail polish works as an alternative. Once secured, the arm behaves as expected.

The heel parts are lightly connected and pop off during posing. The same cement approach applies here if you prefer a permanent fix for display.

Take your time with the sticker application on the darker sections. The flat stickers sit visibly against the dark plastic. Applying them as flush as possible and following with a topcoat improves the result.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these Gunpla kits the hottest sellers?

These kits are fan favourites for their detailed design, affordability, and build size, offering a balanced and enjoyable building experience.

Are these hottest seller kits suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Especially the HG kits, which are known for their fewer parts and simplicity, making them a great starting point for new builders.

What is the level of detail in the MG and RG hottest sellers?

MG kits boast a detailed inner frame and additional parts, while RG combines MG’s complexity with HG’s size for an intricate, compact build.

Can I get replacement parts if I lose some during the build?

Yes, if you buy a kit from Gundam Express Australia we will source replacement parts for you. This is not a quick process as parts need to come from Bandai in Japan.

How much space will I need to display these Gunpla?

HG and RG Gundam kits are compact, while MG Gundam are larger but still manageable. You won’t need too much space to showcase these masterpieces beautifully.
