I just realized that the lower waist/hip joint part they used for this re-styled Unit-02 is actually the same one that is designed for the <a href="http://www.collectiondx.com/node/1580"><strong>Mass Production EVA</strong></a> set! Everyone knows that except for the legs and arms, the MP EVAs' bodies are different from Units -00 through -04! . Cheap-! ------------------------------ CollectionDX Staff Cheap-! Cheap!

However, I have learned that this redesign is no different from what happened with the five lead Gundams from the "<em>Gundam Wing- Endless Waltz</em>" movie- though they look and function differently from their series counterparts, as far as continuity is concerned they always looked like that. Same thing here. The only new things seen in "<em>The End of Evangelion</em>" on Unit-02 here is the 'dart shooter' in the right utility wing; and they added that spare double-bladed sword which the Mass Production EVAs wield. . Though I'm not the biggest fan on Unit-02's design in general (the red and orange don't work right for some reason), I'm even less of a fan of this redesigned style.
