Bring NERV’s first operational Evangelion to your collection with the Evangelion Prototype Unit-00 RG 1/144 from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series. As the second release in Bandai Spirits’ acclaimed Real Grade Evangelion line, Unit-00 combines innovative engineering, incredible articulation and lifelike proportions to faithfully recreate Rei Ayanami’s iconic Evangelion in stunning detail.
Unlike traditional Gunpla, the RG Evangelion series focuses on replicating the organic movement and anatomy of the Evangelions, resulting in a highly articulated model capable of dramatic, human-like action poses. With the option to build either the original orange Prototype Unit-00 or the upgraded blue Unit-00′, this kit offers fantastic display flexibility and an exceptionally rewarding build.
Rei Ayanami’s Prototype Evangelion
The Evangelion Prototype Unit-00 was the first successful Evangelion developed by NERV and piloted by Rei Ayanami. Serving as the prototype for later Evangelion units, Unit-00 plays a vital role throughout the Rebuild of Evangelion films, participating in several key battles against the mysterious Angels.
This kit allows builders to recreate both the original orange Prototype Unit-00 and the upgraded blue Unit-00′ (Kai) seen later in the series, making it an ideal choice for fans of the films.
Revolutionary Real Grade Engineering
The RG Evangelion line features an entirely different engineering philosophy from standard Gunpla.
Bandai has developed a unique internal frame that mimics human anatomy, allowing the model to perform incredibly natural movements.
Highlights include:
- Advanced humanoid internal frame
- Flexible spine construction
- Articulated shoulder blade mechanism
- Interlocking armour movement
- Exceptional balance and flexibility
- Highly detailed colour-separated parts
The armour moves naturally with the internal structure, faithfully reproducing the fluid movement seen on screen.
Build Two Different Versions
One of the biggest highlights of this kit is its dual build option.
Builders can choose between:
- Prototype Unit-00 (Orange)
- Renovated Unit-00′ (Blue)
Alternative armour components are included to recreate the upgraded appearance from Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, giving collectors two distinct display options from a single kit.
Complete Combat Equipment
The RG Evangelion Prototype Unit-00 includes a wide selection of accessories inspired by the films.
Included are:
- Pallet Rifle
- Two Progressive Knives
- Umbilical Cable
- Seven interchangeable hand parts
- Realistic decal sheet
The variety of hand options makes it easy to recreate action scenes, weapon poses and expressive character moments straight from the movies.
Dynamic Action Posing
Thanks to its advanced internal structure, Unit-00 is capable of an incredible range of movement.
The model can perform:
- Running poses
- Crouching stances
- Weapon-ready displays
- Knife combat poses
- Dynamic battle scenes
- Natural standing positions
The flexible spine, shoulders and hips work together to create poses that closely resemble the movement of a real human body.
Outstanding Detail Straight from the Box
The RG Evangelion Prototype Unit-00 features outstanding colour separation and finely moulded surface detail that looks fantastic without painting.
Builders looking to personalise their kit can enhance it with:
- Panel lining
- Matte or gloss top coats
- Metallic detailing
- Weathering
- Custom decals
- Display bases for action poses
The included realistic decals provide authentic markings to complete the premium Real Grade finish.
Perfect for Evangelion Collectors
The RG Prototype Unit-00 pairs perfectly with other kits in the Real Grade Evangelion series, including:
- RG Evangelion Unit-01
- RG Evangelion Unit-02
- RG Evangelion Mark.06
- RG Evangelion Unit-08 Alpha

Displayed together, they recreate some of the most memorable battles from the Rebuild of Evangelion films.

This is a great kit as I expected, but this is more of a review of this company instead. With this kit I bought a marker aswell, that I was given the wrong colour of. I contacted them, and they replied right away and sent out the original I wanted the next day. And to my surprise I was also given a free gundam kit as a gift. I feel like Christmas came early and I can’t thank them enough.
