Get the figures while you can, guys. They sold out almost immediately at TRU. And wave 2 has Striker Eureka (Australian Jaeger), Battle Damaged Gypsy Danger with Energy Swords, and Leatherback (Kaiju)!

Oh, and the art book is glorious. Well, from the one non-spoiler page I've peaked at. Come on Thursday!

Striker looks so awesome.

Might get Gypsy Danger and Striker.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I don't want it.

Spoiler

I NEEEEEEEEEEED IT

 

[Toxi]

About how big are the figures?

Gypsy Danger and Crimson Typhoon are about 7 inches. Knifehead is a bit smaller, although he (She?) has around the same mass.

Edit: Size comparison

How much did that cost?

 

[Diggeh]

About how big are the figures?

About 6 - 7 inches tall. Knifehead's a decent size and Crimson Typhoon can stand rather tall. NECA said Leatherback is going to be a big, beefy hunk of plastic.

How much did that cost?

Around $14 - $16 depending. At TRU they were surprisingly cheap at $14, whereas online sites are $16 - $20.

Well worth the investment!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Sideshow has a Knifehead statue up for pre-order.

A bit pricey for my tastes.

 

[KingGondo]

Dammit. You guys are gonna make me go by TRU and spend $50 on action figures.

Oh wow, that's a LOT cheaper than I expected. Gonna have to go snag one.

Loving the RT score. My fears allayed.

Reading some reviews, it's clear some reviewers didn't understand what they were about to see. This movie was never going to appease film snobs.

"The perplexing contrafibularities of the subject matter at hand quintessentially demonstrates the problem with the juxtaposition against which the backdrop is so forlorn. Woe is me. As a result the film is shit"

Some film critics just can't grasp the fact that all movies aren't meant to be some Shakespearean play.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Seriously thinking about going to the 10PM show on Thursday to get that poster... Does anyone know the dimensions?

 

[3N16MA]

Good thing I held out and snagged a few tickets for the 7 PM showing on Thursday.

not really. fast and furious franchise gets pretty good reviews all around the board.

critical opinion on blockbusters is hit or miss for me though. i really enjoyed lone ranger and john carter and those got demolished.

meanwhile abrams star trek franchise gets really stellar reviews and aside from the cast chemistry i think they're pretty terrible.

 

[coldfoot]

They should make human-sized Pacific Rim action figures so your other action figures are somewhat to scale near them

As big as they're going to get. I hope NECA expands the 18" line.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Lol, the transformers human alliance would be around the most near scale to a human sized Jaeger I think.

that figure is 1/3 the size of a normal 3.75 inch gi joe figure.

Not sure why people here are even complaining about reviews. 85% fresh with a 7.9 average after 39 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes seems like a pretty positive response to an action flick to me.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

gonna watch this on Thursday 9pm PST . shietttt

hope it doesn't become like this

LOL

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

Honestly, I thought it would be in the 35-45% range. The fact critics are enjoying it makes me happy

 

[Error]

PR avatar set, ready for this. A storm is gonna pass close tomorrow, but I don't think it'll prevent me from watching this on Thursday night.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Thursday 9:50 IMAX 3D

So ready. This week I received my Oculus Rift, Pacific Rim Thursday, our games launch party is Friday, and Money in the Bank is Sunday. Fuck yeah!

 

[hal9001]

So is there an after credits scene in this film?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I thought it'd be around that too.

We're getting on the 11th. So happy.

 

[Wellington]

I'm about to order the comic on Amazon, getting my ticket tonight for the Thursday showing (and my free poster!)

CAN'T. WAIT.

 

[TDLink]

So is there an after credits scene in this film?

According to people who have seen it... yes

 

[Jables Swan]

Gipsy Danger is awesome, but his movement is a bit hampered by the big shoulder pads. He sadly can't make the awesome rocket punch pose.

That said, he looks amazing, and the rest of his articulation is pretty great, especially on the feet.

Sold. I shall order Gipsy today. Unfortunately won't get it before the flick. Now give me wave 2 already!

 

[UnluckyKate]

there tons of premiere here in Paris friday : the movie doesn't come out before NEXT wednesday (17th)

I'm tempted but it's all 3D...

 

[NomarTyme]

Friday can't come soon enough for me....

I'm thinking of doing that as well. Is it the first showing that gets the poster, or the 10PM? According to the IMAX website, it's the latter. But that seems kinda weird when there's an earlier show.

 

[Darkgran]

Just saw it. I am really surprised at how much I liked it. Tons of moments where I had a smile on my face.

Very cool movie and I am pretty sure most of GAF will like it.

Were you hyped to see it from the beginning or were you dragged by friends?

 

[Penguin]

Mid credits, but yes

 

[exarkun]

Are the posters given out tonight? Tomorrow? Or have they already been given out?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Has anyone heard anything about the 3D? Is it going to destroy the experience if I have to see it in 3D or is it alright?

I believe the majority of the Gaffer impressions so far say the 3D is at least above-average for the converted stuff and fine for the native stuff.

all my buddy like me wear glasses and we are really unconfortable with these huge ass 3D glasses. Plus, Startrek was dark as shit and I don't want to miss these bright shiny Pacificm Rim, speed racer-like colors due to 3D

 

[TheKaeptain]

One of the theater's Fresno added a 7, 7:35, and a 8 something pm screenings.

All I knew about it before seeing it was from the trailers and I must admit I thought it looked dumb. Boy was I wrong.

I'm in line at the press screening in Houston only a 1:30 left until I'm watching it .

This would be a great post to put in bold and added to the OP.

You got my juices flowing papi. I just want to know one thing, from what i hear is the ending battle isnt as epic as the other fights. Is this true? Because man i love finishing on extremely high end fight scenes(i blame jackie chan for that). You could pm or spoiler tag it.

Del Toro is the director of this movie, so I was expecting high 70s to 80s
