Our verdict

MODEROID Evangelion Unit-08α is a non-scale plastic kit of the pink Evangelion from Rebuild of Evangelion, about 165 mm (6.5 in) tall. Good Smile Company says the parts come on colored and clear runners, with some parts pre-painted and stickers included, so it matches the series after a simple assembly. It includes an ultra-long-range rifle and extra hands for sniping poses. Good Smile Company US listed it at $26.99 and marked it Almost Gone.

Good Smile's page does not list an age; Gundam Planet, which listed the kit at $32.95, prints 15 and up, and we use that label. We found no owner reviews on either page.

It suits an Evangelion fan who wants a lower-cost, simpler build than a Real Grade. Skip it if you rely on owner feedback, or if you want the wider accessory set of a larger kit.
