The kit is based on the unit's appearance at the start of Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, where its non-humanoid form, running on four wheeled legs with pantographs on its shoulders, left a strong impression on viewers. The model stands approximately 160mm tall and measures about 270mm in total length, making it one of the largest in the MODEROID series. It uses molded colors, pre-painted parts, stickers, and decals to achieve color separation close to the film's look with assembly alone. The kit includes decals for markings, and several parts are swappable: the head can be posed open-mouthed, the right arm can carry the simplified Longinus spear (pseudo-restored type) or go without it, the shoulder pantographs are removable, and the large and small drills under the waist are reproduced with replacement parts. The leg tip connectors come in movable and fixed variants. The prototype is by Kenji Miyashita. The price is 11,000 yen including tax, with shipping scheduled for April 2027. Reservations at the Good Smile Company official shop run from July 31 to September 9, and partner shops will also handle orders.","whyItMatters":"This kit brings a visually distinctive Eva that deviates from the series' usual humanoid design into the MODEROID line, and its size and price point mark it as a premium item for collectors.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe MODEROID Evangelion Provisional Unit-05 is a non-scale assembly kit that recreates the unusual Eva from the opening of Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance.
