NECA - Pacific Rim

[Sabres21768]

NECA is always good value. 1/4 scale with decent quality and light up feature under $100, who else would do that?

You do understand how scale works, right?

A 1/4 Jaeger would still be as tall as a building.

A 1/4 scale 400 foot robot would be...100 feet tall.

Hmmm . . .

Ordered my set today. Pretty disappointed TRU is not carrying these, but looking forward to getting them.

Got my series 1 just now

Together with some in scale 1:500 trains and boats.

Where was this confirmed?

 

[Eterniandreams]

My sons making their own jaeger like in the online app:

Crimson Typhoon is the best of the wave.
Gipsy has poor shoulder articulation. Hips arent great either.
Knife head is a real 80s articulation toy and seems small compared to the Jaegers. It might be correct though.

The sculpts are great.

so this is true for sure? toy r us is not carrying them? where did you get the info?

wondering if checkin my local rus for them is a waste of time.

I just picked these up at TRU today! $15 each! I almost passed, but it was too good a price not to get them.

 

[Moe Szyslak]

My mistake! I was told TRU passed on them, glad you found them.

I just got the Crimson for $12 at TRU

 

[illproxy]

nice will be checking my TRU, on hold with them now.

thks JonWes & Unclechopchop!

 

[Master Wayne]

My crappy TRU still doesn't have these. Just Lone Ranger and Rambo.

No NECA Aliens either.

 

[JonWes]

Knifehead is a bit statue-like, but he's pretty darned cool looking.
Gypsy Danger's artic is hindered by the design, I think, but can still achieve some cool poses and has great detail.
Crimson Typhoon is definitely my favorite as far as articulation and design so far.

 

[LipSmack]

Man these look sweet, Im really not liking gypsy's design though, that "popped collar " thing is lame

I did get the crimson, but I'm not gonna lie. The mecha design on these things are kinda lame. I've collected Japanese toys all my life, and the design on these are kinda eh. If anybody wants to see some real good robot designs, look up five star stories. The crimson design ripped off the Ashura Temple and maybe a little general grievous from star wars.
Apples and oranges, but it still bothers me a little bit. My dumbass bought one, so that doesn't say much.

I found these here but the paints on Gypsy Danger are AWFUL.

he looked like he was finger painted by a toddler. oh my god he looked so awful.

and it was not only one figure, all of them looked like crap. they all had some really horrible problem with their paint. The store was charging 26 bucks too... what a ripoff

crimson had much better paints, but the head of the robot looked really bad too.

I actually returned mine. It does look kinda suck.

 

[JonWes]

My Gypsy had good paint apps, but it was the only one in the store that I'd say that about. Crimson Typhoon was sort of similar, the hardest part being the head as mentioned. But I was happy with the ones I got, especially for $15.

 

[Master Wayne]

Where are you guys finding these? Both of my nearby TRU stores have nothing and the employees just look at me like I'm crazy when I ask about them. Getting frustrated over here.

 

[JonWes]

I'm in Illinois.
