Shinkalion Z 500 TYPE EVA-02
ItemShinkalion Z 500 TYPE EVA-02 answers a simple question: what would the 500 TYPE EVA look like themed on Evangelion Unit-02? The Asuka-flavored design exists purely as an original Takara Tomy action figure, released in December 2022 with two exclusive rifle weapons invented for it.
Overview
Unlike its purple sibling, this Shinkalion Z never appears in animation. Designers imagined a hypothetical Unit-02 counterpart to the 500 TYPE EVA shinkansen and drew an original robot from that premise, then realized it as a transforming figure. Takara Tomy issued the toy through its Plarail Z Combine line on 10 December 2022 at 7,480 yen, with Asuka Shikinami Langley credited as its crew member and NERV as its operator.
Function
Its fictional specifications list a height of 26.5 meters and a weight of 110 tons, reworking the train-to-robot frame around Evangelion Unit-02. The head copies Unit-02's, red and orange dominate the color layout with white detailing, and an included headgear piece allows the head to be swapped.
Two weapons were devised specifically for this unit. The 2424 Type Rifle derives from the Eva franchise's Pallet Rifle, while the Kaisatsukyo Rifle blends the Positron Rifle, specifically the Prototype 20 with Toroidal Accelerator, with the scissors once used to clip tickets at station gates.
