Muy pocas series de animé han capturado un ejército tan diverso y leal de fanáticos alrededor del mundo, como Neon Genesis Evangelion ha hecho y no sin una razón...
Hay muchos elementos que trabajan juntos para crear un historia de ficción compleja, que toma las referencias más importantes de una narración no ficcional mucho más compleja: El Libro del Apocalipsis, parte de la Biblia...
Ya indiqué en una publicación anterior, que Evangelion está muy lejos de ser una apología de la visión para el fin de los tiempos, tal como la Cristiandad (incluido yo) cree, basada en las profecías de la Escritura, pero algunas nociones distintivas están allí...
Por ejemplo, los ángeles...
Hay, no obstante, tanto coincidencias como diferencias en cómo estos seres son presentados en la serie de animé, con respecto a la Biblia y vale la pena aclarar que el Apocalipsis es el libro de las Escrituras que más menciona estas criaturas...
Los ángeles son presentados en esta serie como semillas, "plantadas" en la Tierra por una "Primera Raza Ancestral" extraterrestre y descritos como el origen de la humanidad...
La Biblia, por otro lado, introduce a los ángeles como seres celestiales, creados por DIOS antes que cualquier otra cosa sobre la Tierra, con una naturaleza / propósito diferente e independiente de aquel de la humanidad, que también fue creda por DIOS de una forma especial, completamente distinta a la del resto de la creación (incluyendo a los mismos ángeles)...
Estas criaturas en la serie, llegan de la nada y su propósito esencial es bastante ambiguo, la única cosa que puedes percibir claramente, es que son incisivos en atacar Tokio-3, donde las instalaciones de NERVE, junto con Gendo Ikari (el portador del embrión de Adán), están "convenientemente" resguardados...
En el Libro del Apocalipsis, los ángeles son mensajeros de DIOS, que primeramente predican el arrepentimiento de nuestros pecados e instan a creer en JESUCRISTO como Señor y Salvador; después, ellos se convierten en instrumentos de DIOS para traer juicio sobre la humanidad, a causa de su incredulidad, rebelión y depravación...
En la serie Evangelion, Adán es reconocido como el primer ángel, una criatura gigante, el progenitor de los ángeles del tercero hasta el diecisieteavo que atacan NERVE y también la base genética para todos los EVAs, excepto la Unidad 01, que fue originado de Lilith, el segundo ángel...
En la Biblia, principalmente en el Antiguo Testamento, Adán es el primer hombre jamás creado, justo como uno de nosotros; en su primer estado, tenía un alma pura, no contaminada por el pecado y de él, DIOS creó a Eva, la primera mujer, que sería su compañera perfecta, de acuerdo con el propósito de DIOS...
Lilith (t.c.c. lechuza), es mencionada solo en el Libro del profeta Isaías (en el Antiguo Testamento, Isa 34:14), como parte de una lista de bestias, pero en la mitología judía y tradiciones paganas, Lilith es descrita como un demonio femenino...
Los ángeles en la serie de animé son presentados como humanoides, con un patrón de ADN bastante similar al de los humanos, pero pueden tomar la forma que quieran; en ese sentido, su apariencia / diseño es muy diverso, más o menos como esculturas de arte moderno, con una presencia física, capaces de proyectar un campo de energía (llamado campo A.T.) y otras formas de poderes paranormales como psicoquinesis, levitación y metamorfosis; además tienen una fuente de poder llamada motor S², que les da una naturaleza cibernética y, por lo tanto, pueden ser destruidos físicamente...
En la Bilia, los ángeles son criaturas espirituales que no tiene esencia física, pero pueden tomar una forma corpórea; usualmente aparecen como seres humanos, pero increíblemente poderosos y podían pasar desapercibidos hasta que revelaran su verdadera naturaleza; tienen alma y voluntad, pero su voluntad no es libre, ellos siempre harán la Voluntad de DIOS y ya que son seres espirituales, no podrían ser destruidos por ningún medio físico...
Podría continuar con esta interesante comparación, pero me limito a mí mismo con el fin de mantener un "tamaño decente" en mis reseñas; sin embargo, ¡tal vez en publicaciones futuras hablaré un poco más sobre esto!...
Esta es mi última publicación con respecto a la Serie Neon Genesis Evangelion Collection hecha por YAMATO USA, hace ya un buen tiempo.
Aparentemente, hubo otras series fabricadas después, pero venían con menos accesorios y una presentación diferente (caja en vez de tarjeta, como en esta línea).
Justo como las otras dos figuras de acción, ya publicadas aquí y aquí, esta es una figura de 7", basada en el EVA-01 Test Type, que fue pilotado por Shinji Ikari.
Presenta 11 puntos de articulación; el trabajo de pintura con acabado metalizado es púrpura, con acentos en lila, naranja claro, verde claro y negro con acabado mate; la escultura, como en las otras figuras es bastante satisfactoria y pulcra.
Los accesorios incluidos con este EVA son: un rifle paleta, un cañón positrónico, un cuchillo y un plug de alimentación; también olvidé mencionar que la mayoría de estos extras podrían ser usados junto con los otros EVAs así que, podrías tener un montón de diversión con ellos, "luchando" juntos...
Apo 18:1-5 "Después de esto vi a otro ángel descender del cielo con gran poder; y la tierra fue alumbrada con su gloria. Y clamó con voz potente, diciendo: ha caído, ha caído la gran Babilonia, y se ha hecho habitación de demonios y guarida de todo espíritu inmundo, y albergue de toda ave inmunda y aborrecible. Porque todas las naciones han bebido del vino del furor de su fornicación; y los reyes de la tierra han fornicado con ella, y los mercaderes de la tierra se han enriquecido de la potencia de sus deleites. Y oí otra voz del cielo, que decía: salid de ella, pueblo mío, para que no seáis partícipes de sus pecados, ni recibáis parte de sus plagas; porque sus pecados han llegado hasta el cielo, y DIOS se ha acordado de sus maldades."
ENGLISH Very few anime series have captured a so diverse and loyal army of fanatics around the world, like Neon Genesis Evangelion has done and not without a reason... There are many elements that work together to create a complex fictional story, which take the most important references from a much more complex non-fictional narration: the Book of Revelation, part of the Bible...
I already stated in a previous publication, that Evangelion is very far from being an apology of the vision for the end times, just as the Christianity (me included) believes, based on the prophecies of the Scriptures, but some distinctive notions are there...
For instance, the angels...
There are, nevertheless, both coincidences as differences in how these beings are introduced in the anime series regarding the Bible and is worth clarify that, the Revelation is the Book of the Scriptures which mention these creatures most...
The angels are presented in this series as seeds, "planted" on the Earth by an extraterrestrial "First Ancestral Race" and described as the origin of the humankind...
The Bible, on the other hand, introduce the angels as celestial beings, created by GOD before any other thing on the Earth, with a different and independent nature/purpose to that of the humanity, which was also created by GOD in a special manner, completely dissimilar to that of the rest of creation (including the angels themselves)...
These creatures in the series, come out of nowhere and their ultimate purpose is quite ambiguous, the only thing you can see clearly, is that they are trenchant into attack Tokio-3, where the NERV facilities, along with Gendo Ikari (the carrier of the Adam’s embryo), are "conveniently" sheltered...
In the Book of Revelation, the angels are messengers of GOD, who firstly preach repentance of our sins and urge to believe in JESUS CHRIST as Lord and Savoir; later they become the instruments of GOD to bring judgment on humanity, because of their disbelief, rebellion and depravity...
In the Evangelion series, Adam is recognized as the first angel, a giant creature, the progenitor of the third through seventeenth angels who attack NERVE and also the genetic base for all the EVAs, except the Unit-01, which was originated from Lilith, the second angel...
In the Bible, mostly in the Old Testament, Adam is the first man ever created, just like one of us; in his first state, he had a pure soul, not contaminated by the sin and from him, GOD created Eve, the first woman, who would be his perfect companion, according to the GOD’s purpose...
Lilith (a.k.a. screech owl), is only mentioned in the Book of the prophet Isaiah (in the Old Testament, Isa 34:14), as part of a list of beasts, but in the jewish mythology and pagan traditions, Lilith is described as a female demon...
The angels in the anime series are presented as humanoids, with a quite similar DNA pattern to that of the humans, but they can take any form they want; in that sense their appearance/design is quite diverse, pretty much like modern art sculptures, with a physical presence, able to project an energy field (called A.T. field) and other forms of paranormal powers like psychokinetic, levitation and metamorphosis; also they had a power source called S² engine, which give them a cybernetic nature and hence, they can be destroyed physically...
In the Bible, the angels are spiritual creatures who have no physical essence, but they can take a corporeal form; usually they appear as human beings, but incredibly powerful and they could remain unnoticed until they reveal their true nature; they have soul and will, but their will is not free, they will always make the GOD’s Will and since they are spiritual beings, they could not be destroyed by any physical means...
I could continue with this interesting comparison, but I limit myself in order to keep a "decent size" in my reviews; however, maybe in future publications I will talk a bit more about it!...
This is my last publishing regarding the Neon Genesis Evangelion Collection Series made by YAMATO USA quite a while ago.
Seemingly, there were other series manufactured later, but they came with less accessories and a different presentation (box instead of card, as in this line).
Just like the other two action figures, already published here and here, this is a 7" figure, based on the EVA-01 Test Type, which was piloted by Shinji Ikari.
It features 11 points of articulation; the paint job with metallic finishing is purple with accents in lilac, light orange, light green and black with matte finishing; the sculpt as in the other figures is quite satisfying and neat.
The accessories included with this EVA are: a pallet rifle, a positron cannon, a knife and a feeding plug; also, I forgot to mention that most of these extras could be used along with the other EVAs so, you could have a lot of fun with them "fighting" together...
Rev 18:1-5 "And after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and GOD hath remembered her iniquities."
I luv the chrome that make the mecha looks more realistic. I have the others but not the chrome version. Understand that the figure lack articulation. The plus point really is the neat paint job. It's been some time you post a mecha article ^_^
some people just don’t like the metallic finishing since in the original anime series and movies the colors are plain... i think they look great and this finishing works much better for an action figure than for a model kit... i must confess i was hesitating about publishing these mechas, but i can see they have fans and i enjoyed very much the series so, why not ???...
yeah, it’s been too long since the last time i publish a "non diecast vehicle" collectible... hopefully, these "other" collectibles will come back in the right time !!!... =D

My alternate blog in WordPress
From now, I will be publishing basically the same contents in both blogs, but for reviews before March 18, 2019, you must read my Blogger blog...
I’m a professional graphic designer and a restful collector, but above all: I’m someone who doesn’t take for granted anything, just because someone else says so. I think this hobby goes way beyond buying stuff here and there: anybody with money can buy collectibles, but not anybody becomes collector by doing so. I think as well that this hobby is, more than anything, about knowledge, about making sense of what happens around us and just like any other kind of knowledge, if it’s devoid of ethics, is worthless. I like to address topics around collectionism, including, but not limited to: history, industry, forums, groups, collectors, distributors, sellers, etc. I’m fully aware that criticism is essential for our hobby: everything is susceptible of improvement and we the collectors demand quality, but the industry around it doesn’t necessarily shares that vision. After all, well-targeted criticism always helps to detect failures and correct them, it’s like critical thinking: it helps you see things as they really are and not just as how they are presented to you. If you are someone who likes to look beyond the surface, welcome, if that is not the case, continue at your own risk...
