The limbs are identical to human limbs in structure, down to the point of the fingers having fingernails ( Episode 03) and the feet having toes (as seen in End of Evangelion).

The shoulder pylons serve as part of the restraint system, attaching to external restraints as well as serving as storage for weapons like the Progressive Knife and Eva-02's spike launcher.ДЄn Eva has essentially the same physical form as a normal human, albeit with exaggerated torso/waist proportions and varying head forms. Whether the binding armor serves to restrain them physically, or uses some other mechanism to restrict their power, is not fully known as the functioning of the bindings is not elaborated upon within the series. This armor also serves to restrain them and bind them to Nerv's control, and they are restrained heavily at all times when not in combat.
