Shin Seiki Evangelion EVA-01 RIOBOT Musha Test Type-01 presents a bold homage to the iconic unit with a Samurai-inspired reinterpretation. The figure features a layered armor shell and panel lines replicated in glossy cell-colored finish, contrasted by metallic accents on joints and weapons. The EVA-01 head keeps its signature purple helm and red eyes, while a dramatic crest and ornamental kanji motifs evoke a feudal warrior aesthetic. The multipurpose configuration includes interchangeable hands, a curved blade, shield options, and poseable limbs that capture the unit's agile, menacing presence. Die-cast components add heft to the torso and limbs, pairing with articulated PVC/plastic sections to achieve dynamic posing. Fine paint work highlights weathering, battle damage, and panel seams, delivering a premium, collectible presence for display or photography.

Shin Seiki Evangelion EVA-01 is the enigmatic benchmark unit created to protect humanity during the Angels' onslaughts, piloted by the reserved and emotionally complex Shinji Ikari. EVA-01 emerges as a hybrid of human and machine, driven by the will of its pilot and the core's mysterious balance of life energy. Throughout the series, EVA-01 demonstrates extraordinary combat ability, unorthodox reflexes, and occasional berserk transformations that push the limits of risk and sacrifice. Its relationship with Gendo Ikari's shadowy organization, NERV, and the other EVA units adds tension as the pilot hesitates, questions authority, and discovers glimpses of a deeper sentience within the Evangelion's armor. EVA-01's battles unfold across devastated cities, confronting powerful Angels while testing loyalties, faith, and the boundary between weapon and protector. The unit remains iconic for its raw power and emotionally charged complexities in the Evangelion narrative.
