Overall, this New Color Ver. edition blends fidelity with a contemporary polish for collectors.

Unit-01, commonly known as EVA-01, is Shinji Ikari’s assigned Evangelion, developed by NERV and built to operate using the core of an Angel. The unit merges human piloting with biomechanical systems, giving it extraordinary power and a volatile temperament. Across the Shin Seiki Evangelion series, EVA-01 demonstrates remarkable versatility, from agile close-quarters combat to devastating release modes. Its enigmatic origin is tied to the collaborative efforts of Dr. Ikari and SEELE; the unit’s bio-mechanical design grants unpredictable berserk tendencies, especially when synchronized with the pilot’s emotions or when driven by critical necessity. EVA-01’s relationship with Shinji evolves from reluctant partnership to a profound, almost paternal bond as the mission escalates. The character's resilience during battles against the Angels, its ability to adapt via internal mechanisms, and its iconic color scheme contribute to its status as a central symbol in the series, representing both humanity's fragility and its potential for extraordinary power.
