Designed for pose enthusiasts, the Evangelion Evolution EVA-04 figure from Kaiyodo presents a compact, highly articulated replica built on Revoltech joints. Standing about 140 mm tall, the figure captures EVA-04’s distinctive silhouette with clean panel lines, subtle weathering, and accurately toned color accents. The head, chest, and limbs are paneled to resemble the unit’s armored plating, while the hands and feet feature multiple interchangeable options for dynamic posing. The figure includes flexible joints that allow dramatic flight, crouch, and combat stances, and the fists and accessories are cast with precise details to evoke the engineering elegance of Nerv’s EVA program. The overall finish emphasizes a balance of matte and glossy textures to reflect the synthetic, biomechanical look of EVA units, with clean alignment across the armor plates ensuring a visually cohesive display piece for a hobby collection.

Within the Evangelion Shin Gekijouban Ha narrative line, EVA-04 represents one of Nervs otherworldly guardians, a weaponized organism forged to confront ever more powerful Angels. The unit embodies the tension between human ingenuity and the risks of playing with existential forces, as pilots struggle to synchronize with their Evangelions while the world around them grows darker. EVA-04's presence in the film underscores themes of sacrifice, the costs of experimental technology, and the fragile balance between control and loss. The figure thus appeals to fans who appreciate both the dramatic storytelling and the iconic mecha design.
