Max Factory - 1/350 Scale - Pacific Rim

Badass!! I always wonder what the Hobbit would have looked like with Guillermo directing. While I love the original LOTR trilogy, the Hobbit was good, but a celebration of excess with Jackson at the helm.

Yeah...that was exactly what I wanted to avoid mentioning with Guillermo. I notice Guillermo gets really excited reminiscing old John Woo/Chow Yun Fat movies. I even tried getting a friend of mine who was working with Chow to get something signed for Guillermo but that never pulled through. Fortunately I hear obtaining Chow Yun Fat's autograph is really easy in Hong Kong as he is notorious for taking public transportation. I had other friends who even spent an entire afternoon with Chow Yun Fat in Lantau Island. I saw the photos. They were like planting trees or something.

Very cool! You can ask him why Donnie Yen was in Blade 2 for only like 5 min!

I prefer talking to Guillermo about other people's films. He often jokes about my fascination with old Alain Delon movies. At one point, he joked that I was giving him the Alain Delon look. (Psssh....like that is ever gonna be possible!) I still haven't gotten around to his suggestion of checking out this old French flick called Rififi. That Criterion dvd is so expensive!

I want them to release a bluray of Le Samurai. Alain Delon kicks ass in that.

Too bad the french bluray is region coded. But as I recall, Guillermo made that "you're making that Alain Delon look" comment cuz I was staring blankly at the monitor that day. They were filming that scene with the big fishermans boat (you'll see it in the first 5 minutes of the movie).

Just in time for the next masterclass! To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of what he presented last November. I guess the only thing I enjoyed about The Devils is Oliver Reed's performance.

Nice post.

 

[Sevreed]

If it's just a model then I'm out.

Plus Guillermo already knows me so it shouldn't be too hard for me to stop over and say hi.

Tell him we want to see Hellboy 3!

Done already.

Nice been waiting for a company to do this series justice. The necca figures just dont do it for me, the paint and sculpts leave alot to be desired. But this is something I could get into.

looks awesome! hopefully articulated judging from the pics

Bumping this thread to see if anyone has these and their thoughts

Wanted this badly but had to cancel due to shortage of cash. Guess I'll have to wait for a reissue or the inevitable sh figuarts version. Need some representative on my shelf full of action figures for a project I was directly involved in. (I'm in the movie as a "Shatterdome mechanic")

Wow that's awesome! What Jaeger and kaiju are your favorite? You don't like the Neca figures?

 

[tinlunlau]

I usually like Neca but only for their sculpts and occasional paint job but articulation is always lacking. Gypsy's my fave Jaeger.

Any interesting story to share being in the film?

You gotta share a screen shot of you in the movie now lol

 

[tinlunlau]

Well, here's one...zoomed in...

As for stories, I dunno where to start. Guillermo calling me fat right in front of my face on the first day of shoot? Falling asleep on set?
