The world of cosplayers is one in constant evolution. The members of this group always show great passion when recreating as faithfully as possible some of the most famous characters in the world of anime and video games. Now, this time a cosplayer known as Maolo managed to recreate the iconic mecha EVA-01 in the most real way possible.
Maolo is someone who for years has been in charge of standing out in an ocean of Reis and Asukas. In this way, his most recent work brings the EVA-01 unit to life. in a way that seems to rival the best figures that we can find today in the market.

Almost the entire unit is made from foam pieces that have been individually wrapped in colored leatherette, which unlike painted pieces can look much softer and more metallic. This is a technique that has been used for years in tokusatsu series, such as Power Rangers.
In related topics, this was Rei’s original design for the anime. Similarly, this is what a collaboration between Evangelion and Metroid would look like.
Editor’s Note:
This is a great job. Very few people decide to cosplay from a mecha, due to how difficult it is to move, but Maolo has managed to find a fairly simple way to solve this problem, something that will surely be used by other people.
