The verdict

This is the same Test Type Unit-01 kit that launched Bandai's Real Grade Evangelion line, bundled as a Premium Bandai exclusive with a Transport Platform accessory built specifically to recreate one of the anime's most recognizable visuals at kit scale.

The core build has not changed and does not need to, it is a genuinely solid debut RG Eva kit. What you are actually paying the exclusivity premium for is the platform and the display moment it lets you recreate, and that is a real, specific value if the scene matters to you.

Best for: RG Eva collectors who want to recreate the anime's iconic Eva transport scene and do not already own the retail Test Type Unit-01 kit

The full review

What it is

This is a Premium Bandai exclusive set built around the same Real Grade Test Type Unit-01 kit sold at general retail, the line's debut Evangelion release, bundled with a Transport Platform accessory sculpted specifically to recreate one of the show's famous scenes in miniature. A PET display sheet is included alongside the usual Progressive Knives, Pallet rifle, and hand parts, giving the set a genuine display-diorama angle that the standalone kit does not offer.

The catch

The Evangelion kit itself is unchanged from the retail Test Type Unit-01, the same joints, the same six hand parts, the same accessory count. The Transport Platform and PET sheet are the entire reason this exists as a separate exclusive product, so if diorama-style display is not something you care about, you are buying a kit you may already own again just to get the platform. As a Premium Bandai web-exclusive it was sold through a limited order window, so expect aftermarket sourcing rather than normal retail stock.

Who it's for

If recreating that specific transport scene matters to you, or you want a display platform built to complement Unit-01 rather than a generic display stand, this set delivers something the standard retail kit cannot. If you already own the standalone Test Type Unit-01 and have no interest in the diorama piece, there is little reason to buy the whole kit again just for the platform.

The build story

What the build is actually like, and the engineering worth knowing about.

The Evangelion build itself matches the standard retail Test Type Unit-01, spine and shoulder joints handling the posing, overlapping armor sections, straightforward cleanup. Nothing changes here from the base kit.

The Transport Platform is the standout addition, sculpted specifically to let the finished Unit-01 recreate a specific, recognizable moment from the anime at kit scale, with a PET sheet backdrop rounding out the presentation. It is a genuinely thoughtful diorama accessory rather than a token bonus part.
