Unit 00 (blue version) and 01 have been re-released earlier this year and EVA-03 and 04 are coming back this month, but what happened to unit 02? Did I completely miss the boat on this one or has Bandai chosen not to re-release it at all? That's kind of weird, considering that we're getting a new batch of all of the others (with the exeption of the yellow EVA-00) in 2006.

Where's EVA-02? They're probably working on matching the paint-job...

hello. eva 02 is the red one right? i think it is not yet included in the list of reissues this 2006. welcome to RJ Thanks! Yep. The red one, GX-15. I haven't seen it on any re-release list yet, no re-stock mention anywhere either. And it's going for more than the others usualy. (Except for a few places where it costs the same as the others, but still for more than at, let's say, HobbyLink Japan.) Not an exhorbitant price, but it would be irritating to find out a month later that they're finaly releasing it for $20-$30 less than what I paid for it. I think I'm going to bite the bullet anyway and buy it now while it's still affordable. Might grab a yellow 00 at the same time. I'm not much of a fan of repaints, but it's coming with a bunch of different accessories. Quite expensive for a bunch of accessories, though. And it's... well... yellow. Hum. I'll have to think about this one... Still, that's kind of strange. Has the GX-15 sold less than the other EVAs? I don't remember it going for much less than the others before the re-release. If I remember well, EVA-01 (purple) was a bit more expensive (before the new batch), but not by much. Anyway, it seemed to be as good a candidate for re-release as the blue Unit-00. What do you mean, Ben-Ohki? Was there something wrong with the original's paintjob? Or are you refering to the not-so-anime-accurate colors of the EVA SOCs? I might be one of the few who think the EVA-01 actualy looks better this way, with pearly dark purple paint, than it would with a Kool-Aid anime color scheme. But I do understand why fans of the series would like to have anime-accurate EVA SOCs. That's just not a problem for me. I like them that way. They look good and not that much off-model to me. The same debate is going on with the upcoming Masterpiece Starscream (Transformers MP-03), although with this one they did more than a slight change of color tone.

yep.. i guess the GX-15 is the most difficult to find nowadays.. either you can find it at high cost or you find someone who selling their loose GX-15 with torned boxes or chipped paint.. from the Soul of Chogokin evangelion series.. the GX-15 was the last i've acquired out of the six eva for the reason that i am waiting for it to be reissued but no luck until my patience gave up.. got my GX-15 at a pretty high price, almost or same price as the GX-21 and 22, got it from hongkong at a whooping price of $78.. oh well that's the price of being impatient after all..

I wouldn't be surprised if it does get reissued, even this late.

What do you mean, Ben-Ohki? Was there something wrong with the original's paintjob? It wasn't so much a problem with it being "accurate" but there were complaints on its initial release that the paint did not appear as bright as the promotional materials implied it would be. Some even complained that theirs were "orange" - that the painted die-cast parts did not match up with the plastic molded parts... Personally, I didn't see anything wrong with the paint job and I suspect a lot of fans were just being anal.
