So who is buying?[/QUOTE]

I would, but only Knifehead is on their site right now.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Eh, it was alright. I agree with most of the complaints here, though.

Like, why call it Pacific Rim if 90% of the movie is going to take place in Hong Kong. They should have took the time they wasted on the bloated midsection to properly flesh out the San Francisco and Sydney attacks. The scope just felt too narrow.

Because the China Sea is still part of the Pacific?

 

[drifter444]

Man I loved Rinko Kikuchi in the Brothers Bloom! I forgot she was in that movie.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Guys, why is the main theme so awesome?

Just listen to this awesome cover.

My new ringtone.

 

[Diggeh]

Took some clearer shots of the figures tonight. Absolutely gorgeous.

 

[Toxi]

The more I see of Leatherback, the more I want it.

At 1:24, last question in the survey:
'Q10 What Hollywood movie, and/or comic book characters do you most want to see as a high-end figure' - first option is Pacific Rim =)

Pacific Rim Monsterarts would be the best thing ever.

I mean, they made freaking Godzilla a super-articulated beast; they'd have to try to screw up with Gipsy Danger.

 

[Apharmd]

Oh man, Pacific Rim Bandai toys would be friggin' superb.

To see in IMAX or DBOX?

(no specification on the site if DBOX also means larger screen)

 

[RoboPlato]

Just saw it in IMAX again tonight. So good, even on repeat viewings.

(no specification on the site if DBOX also means larger screen)

IMAX.

A movie such as this demands the biggest screen and best sound possible.

 

[lednerg]

Most fun in a theater I've had in a very long time. I was just talking with my little brother on the phone and I practically demanded he go see it. If you don't like this movie, we can't be friends.

God, I'm terrified to ask how expensive these are. I'm just glad they exist.

Leatherback is [i]beautiful[/i]. Can't wait to complete my collection!

Judging by Knifehead's page, they're all going to be $300+ and not release until Q2 next year

Still, Striker may motivate me to keep a Pacific Rim nest egg, because he would look amazing on my mantelpiece or as a centerpiece at the dinner table.

W/e price GD is at, I will buy it.

Why did they have to provide three $300+ figures?! Specifically to torture people who can only afford one?

 

[a secret-boss]

Seriously no cherno for series 2

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Probably. It's a good thing I only really want Striker, otherwise I'd be applying for a second job and selling all of my nonessentials.

Seriously no cherno for series 2

I'm willing to put money on Cherno and Otachi being the Series 3 figures, along with Raiju or Slattern if the figure gods are smiling down on us.

We still haven't seen Battle-Damaged Gipsy Danger for Series 2 yet, either. Odd, considering he'd probably be the easiest of the series to produce if they use the same mold

Welcome to the world of Geek collectibles, where you need on average a 6 figure salary in order to keep up :lol

 

[Deified Data]

I need that Knifehead statue in my life.

 

[Jangocube]

Well, just saw the movie, and after looking forward to it for a very long time, I was incredibly disappointed. It was one of the cheesiest movies I've ever seen and most of the fights are spoiled in the trailers.

Just an absolute mediocre movie =(

 

[Beelzebub]

This is one of the most exciting fun blockbuster films I've ever seen...Del Toro is masterful. It doesn't take itself seriously either, its perfect.

 

[iFootball]

Just got back from seeing this after hearing all the hype... soooo worth it!!! everyone in the theater was enjoying it, some even trying their best to withhold their excitement... it's a fun movie

 

[nomis]

"Today we are cancelling the apocalypse." -Idris Elba from every Pacific Rim trailer ever

Never expected something so damn cheesy with that cast though =(

 

[-Mikey-]

Loved it. I wanted to stand up and cheer multiple times during the movie. Hoping I can see it again in the next few weeks.

 

[Jinaar]

Are those statues thru SideShowCollectables? (I see Knifehead there)

And you say by next year release? I shall collect refunds from bottles now....

 

[BronsonLee]

Never expected something so damn cheesy with that cast though =(

The hell?

 

[MickeyKnox]

The earliest memories I have of watching cartoons as a child are of Grendizer, watching this was the best good old fashioned escapism I've had in a movie theater in so very long.

 

[inky]

Never expected something so damn cheesy with that cast though =(

Ya, me neither. It's not like Ron Pearlman and Charlie Day were in this movie or something.

 

[Blablurn]

I didn't like the German voices. Would have rather seen it in English.

 

[Xzeon]

all these amazing toys!!!!!!

fuck all i can find of the tiny Gypsy Danger is on Toy Wiz for 40 bucks!

http://www.toywiz.com/necagipsy.html?gclid=CKuIyOHxurgCFUfZQgodqzwAYw

they better be getting more in stock on these other websites.

 

[tm24]

Man, what happened to cause a spike in the prices for those figures? I bought GD and CT right after seeing the movie for less than 18 each on Amazon and skipped out on knifehead since hes not as appealing as Otachi or Leatherback. Now eyre going for 40 each? Thats crazy

 

[overcast]

So I've come into a good amount of the Yoji Shinkawa posters. Any demand here for those? Lol.

I'll take one off your hand.

movie turned out to be fucking awesome, nerds went home and bought all the toys.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So who is buying?

Any good pictures of the other Kaiju statue?

Took some clearer shots of the figures tonight. Absolutely gorgeous.

Ok, yeah, I'm buying these.

 

[ChosenPredator]

these toys/statue figures are going to be so collectible lol but fuck 300 plus for those amazing ones is depressing

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

This was better the second time for me, I got to appreciate all the little things during the fights. Pretty fucking amazing how detailed they got with certain aspects

People who go into this, turn their brains off and don't pay attention are doing it wrong

 

[Eteric Rice]

I've been seeing giant Supermans at Wal-Mart. Wonder if they are gonna do a giant Pacific Rim toy?

Yeah, I picked up all 3 for $20 on Amazon shortly after seeing the movie for the first time. Wonder if they're just trying to capitalize on the movie's sudden popularity.

Neca's doing an 18-inch Gipsy Danger, and it'll definitely be higher quality than those Supes you've been seeing.

I'd love one of those.

PM me because I have no idea how to send them lol.

 

[Blablurn]

That immediately deflates my interest.

It was really bad. You know, as cheesy as the "cancel the apocalypse" line is, it's still badass in the original version. I never had problems with it. But in the german version? The speech was pretty mediocre. Plus it annoyed me that the german voice of charlie day was nothing like the us one.

 

[Johnlenham]

PM me because I have no idea how to send them lol.

I think even I would have that up in my house but I imagine your in the USA
Folding it so many ways that it fits in an envelope seems like a bad idea..

 

[DonMigs85]

 

[Deified Data]

No Iron Giant? For shame.

 

[TheBear]

This movie tickled my geek nerves like no other movie I can remember.
I actually almost cried when

Spoiler

stringer got out of his mech after beating the shit out of the monster in tokyo.

Ten year old me would've actually shit in his pants with excitement.
This fucking movie.

 

[Toxi]

No Iron Giant? For shame.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe he's up there flying in the sky.

Ending spoilers
[spoiler]I really hoped that Stacker would get his badass moment and pull out a restored Coyote Tango back into service for him to solo pilot to the breach with the bomb, assisted by Striker and Gipsy.[/spoiler]
