The Evangelion Classic T-Shirt ($24.99) offers a low-effort way to rep Unit 13's aesthetic with its clean, iconic branding.
Design Story
Unit 13 made its debut in Evangelion 3.0 and became a central figure in 3.0+1.0. Its design - a twisted, four-armed duplicate of Unit 01 - symbolizes the manipulation and tragedy of the story. MODEROID's engineers worked closely with the film's assets to ensure every curve and panel line matches the CGI model. The kit even includes optional parts to display Unit 13 holding the Spear of Longinus in both standard and awakened forms. The attention to detail is remarkable, with the purple and green color scheme faithfully recreated in plastic.If you're more into wearable Evangelion designs, the Evangelion Premium Hoodie ($49.99) features a subtle Unit 13-inspired colorblock pattern.
Materials and Quality
The MODEROID kit uses high-quality PS and ABS plastics with pre-colored runners. No paint is required, though a little panel lining can make details pop. The joints are tight, thanks to updated polycap engineering, so the arms stay in place even with heavy weapons. The kit is engineered for easy assembly - no glue needed - and includes a stand for dynamic posing.For apparel, the Evangelion Classic T-Shirt is made from 100% ring-spun cotton, pre-shrunk, so it won't shrink funny after washing. It's soft from day one and holds up to repeated wear. If you prefer a more refined look, the Evangelion Polo Shirt ($34.99) offers a similar vibe in a polished cut.
Sizing and Fit
When assembled, the MODEROID Unit 13 stands about 17 cm tall (roughly 1/100 scale). It's compact enough to fit on a desk shelf but detailed enough to command attention. The four-arm form expands the footprint, so plan your display space accordingly.For the Classic T-Shirt, sizing runs true to size with a relaxed unisex fit.
