The size of an Evangelion.
Gregory Smith
Does anybody here happen to have any exact technical specs on
how big an Evangelion actually is? They seem about nine stories tall,
plus or minus a few. In addition, guess mass is something approaching
futile. Anybody happen to know any direct figures?:)

The Evas are around 60 to 65 meters tall. If you compare them to the
Over the Rainbow, the two sunk battleships, the length of Gaghiel (600
meters!) and the wingspan of the F type armor (the flying wing, which is
around 200m), you get the size around there. I can hardly guess what
the weight is.

not too heavy considering it can stand on the front of a battle
ship and not sink it ;)

Go for scale comparisons... The Eva's palm is not too much bigger than
Kaoru's height. Let's assume it's five feet (he ain' t that tall) and go
from there... Or, compare the size of a pilot to the relative entry plug
(difficult; suggest using ejected recovery scenes) and go from there...
Mass would be trickier, although you could make a decent guesstimation from
the average concrete damage from a single Eva footstep, if you also know the
physical dimensions. This would take some nasty stress physics, though...
I'm not that curious.

When you see Gendou standing next to Unit 00's entry plug after Rei's
accident, the plug seems to be about 2 meters in diameter. Obviously,
this isn't consistent with the size of the EVA's hand compared to Kaworu,
because we've seen that an EVA can easily hold an entry plug in one hand.
This is probably the reason why Evangelion model kits aren't built to
scale.
We're probably not meant to think about this in any great detail -- as
Anno said when asked about the specifications of the EVAs, "Unit 00 has
one eye, Unit 01 has two eyes, and Unit 04 has four eyes," and that's
all.
BTW, this may not be completely relevant to the question of an EVA's size,
but it might be of interest. The following is a quote from the apocryphal
Book of Enoch, Chapter 7, verses 1-2 and 10-15:
It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days,
that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful.
And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they
became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for
ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.
[...]
Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began
to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery,
incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees.
And the women conceiving brought forth giants,
Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all
(which) the labor of men (produced); untill it became impossible to feed
them;
When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour
them;
And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat
their flesh one after the other, and to drink their blood.
Then the earth reproved the unrighteous.
A cubit is about eighteen inches.
