I sure love the broad shoulder look of this old kit, but I'm not sure I'll ever be at the power level to complete it in a way that would make me happy. I hope once we're done with the lanky rebuild evas we get some updated old style eva kits again.
My cat freaked out during the masking tape hell part. Keep sowing discourse! I loved the formatting of the video and the editing flourishes were a nice addition! Also, thank you for reviewing this kit, it sorely needed a good review!
I take you don't really read the comments of your viewers but for what it's worth, it's great to see you back doing video reviews with your own touch on them. Gotta say those distorted voice parts are really funny. Great content man.
It's been a pleasure seeing this kit come together over this series of videos. Incredible job on this kit, and looking forward to your future products.
honestly all the work that went into this 20+ yrs old vintage "prototype" PG kit, in your opinion, is it really worth the money and the effort in 2021? compared with latest PG unleashed or Metal Build Evangelion Unit-01 or even with Kotobukiya EVA kits, technology of this kit is obviously outdated
That's kinda what the last 5 minutes of the video are. Sure the PG is really big and has lights, but it's not nearly as poseable or detailed as newer kits. You'll have to make a pros and cons list for yourself to decide if it's worth it.
@@rasmusolsen5930 Absolutely not. Many elements of this model, like the arm guards, the core, and various pieces of text do not exist in the TV show. This kit was released as promo material for the Rebuild series. It would be impossible for this kit to have been released in '97.
@@KevinJRussell If it was released for the Rebuild series, then why is it in the old colour-scheme, has the old wide-shouldered design, and features none of the Rebuild design changes? Or wait, do you think that the OP's paintjob is the original kit colours? This was released in 1997, the same year as The End of Evangelion (EoE) was released, which is also depicted on the box art for this kit. In EoE we saw Unit 01's core. What text was not there back in 1997? The "EVA 1" on the shoulders could first be seen in chapter 2 of the manga, and the "-EVA 01 TEST-" on the forearms and the "1" on the back of the head were in chapter 3.

fr, I'm so sick of everything (both evas and characters) being rebuild
Homie pulled through and looks like he still has some of his hair left, great job.
I've always heard horror stories about this kit. Good to see you've not been beaten by it.
Each of those matte tones looks so buttery smooth. Color separation is just wonderful. Stellar job, Henry.
Mad respect to you sir. Perfecting the Perfect Grade.

I read every comment on every video. I don't get a million views in the first 24 hrs like other builders, so I appreciate every single on of you!
@@vegeta8259 Thanks for taking the time to reply Henry, it means a lot. I've been a big fan of your channel. Looking forward to your next video!
man, this kit was such a nightmare when i got it a few years back. DEFINITELY not a good first perfect grade, even if it was THE first, lol.
Man.. I always feel like a kid when I watch a review from you Henry! Been watching since 08 😂 and I’m 23 now
You knocked this one out of the park Henry looks good brother
Honestly all the work that went into this is amazing

Felt some strong nostalgia seeing you review a kit again. 21/10 paintjob though, and yo the edits!
This is the best PG Eva 01 I have ever found in TH-cam, even the seam line is removed, and make it as same as new Movie Eva
This one is an oldie. :D Reminds me of the time Bandai started making non gundam master grades :D
Glad to see another video from you again.
That glowy red bit gave me an idea. I'd paint veins inside :D
Masking Henry is pretty sick. Not gonna lie.
Hope they make a 2.0 version since the RGs seem to be pretty popular
God I wish I could do something like this! One day I'll maybe attempt at tackling this model kit. Not anytime soon tho...
It's always worth 2 paint your kits
Looks so much better 👌🏾
this video edits are getting better with each video xD gj man
and i buy this "hardest plastic kit", now time for the rubber suit :))

This kit was released in 2006. The 1997 date is the copyright for the IP....
No, this was the first Perfect Grade kit, originally released in 1997. There was however a limited edition with coated parts, released in 2006.

What's with them always giving Eva 01 Swords and stuff.
I believe the left and right shoulders are put on wrong. They should be switched.
What would you say is the best overall Eva kit on the market?
for me this kit fell apart if i looked at it wrong, i hope your one lasts
Hi, how you avoid the paint rubbing in the joints?
So eva was a creature with armored suit , not a robot ?
It's kinda a spoiler so better watch the series by yourself..
@@casvalcat3546 ok
@@snap_fit8686 if you still want the answer. Eva is an organic mecha suit. Not a full mecha.
@@casvalcat3546 are they piloted inside ?
@@snap_fit8686 yes.
