I make plastic model kits. Mostly of giant fighting robots like Gundams. Now that Eva 3+1 came out, I was curious to see if there were any inevitable new tie-in model kits for the movie coming out. That's a very normal thing for mecha anime. Bandai recently came out with a whole line of RG Evangelion kits that are fantastic, so I was hoping maybe there would be a fresh new Unit 8+9+10+11+12 kit or something.
I can't find anything from Bandai, but there's a Kotobukiya kit of Unit 01+Spear of Cassius that looks like a reprint with an extra doodad attached. Lame. None of this is worth mentioning in this thread specifically.
However.
There's a plamo kit company in Japan called Fujimi that has a line of "Biology Edition" model kits of bugs like Rhinoceros Beetles, Praying Mantises, and Crayfish. And apparently they're releasing very soon... I think y'all might have an idea of where we're going with this... Might I introduce you all to:
Evangelion Edition Crayfish Type Unit-01
There's also a Unit-02 variant as well:
God bless Japan.
