NECA - Pacific Rim

[HeubertMichael]

Heated up the body, not the fins. They slid on like butter.
Hair dryers and Neca are best friends.
Oh, and this guy is amazing. Please please, please make crimson typhoon.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Heating the fins itself would only make them floppy, thus harder to push in. Hairdryers and NECA are bff's alright

Crimson Typhoon is what I've been waiting for as well!

 

[Jessedart]

Crimson is my favorite.
It would really suck if they quit after Striker.
Can you imagine that arm in 18" size... Oh man. And light up mono eye...
I'm drooling

 

[HeubertMichael]

Yeah, Crimson is a favorite of mine as I find its asymmetrical design appealing. Love the red on it too, I'm sure if sales on Striker would be good they would make at least one more and that would be Crimson Typhoon

What the hell man. Even the 18" Cherno ain't here in Malaysia yet. ****kkkkkk! My Gipsy is getting hella lonely. Most solid action pose I've ever gotten him in. Been that way for about 3 months now no problem. Shelf dived multiple times when I had him just standing up straight.

 

[wookp]

Chrono, cherno is already available in Malaysia. I got mine from ToyPanic. Check out xl-shop. Maybe they have a few ready stock.

Just created an account to ask -
Is there any sign of Otachi in the UK yet? I've had her pre-ordered from Forbidden Planet since February, with the initial "in stock" date being the 28th of February, then March 31st, then finally April 30th. On April 30th, the order status changed to "contacting supplier for updated info", while Otachi's listing changed to "sold out".

I looked around a bit and no-where else in the UK seems to have her in stock at all. Contacting NECA on Twitter confirmed that Star Images, their UK distributor, had definitely ordered Otachi, and that they'd look into it, but nothing beyond that. After a few days of waiting for an update from NECA, I've sent a message to Star Images asking about Otachi. While I wait for information, do any Brits here have Otachi yet, or know of a place where she's available?

EDIT: Other places I've looked have the following due dates:
Forbidden Planet: Awaiting further info/Sold out
Forbidden Planet International: 29th May
Zavvi: 15th May
The Hut: 15th May
IWOOT: 15th May
So it seems there might be a confirmed UK release date of May 15th, and Forbidden Planet simply hasn't updated yet (FP International says 29th, but they're always a little late getting things in stock). Or this is the latest in a long line of delays.

EDIT 2: Forbidden Planet now saying 30th May. Looks to be another placeholder "end of month" date, but Some time during May seems to be most likely.

I just received an email saying Otachi will arrive on the 9th (today) and my order will be dispatched on Monday.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Forbidden Planet not having stock until the end of the month. They may have her in store but for some reason their online service is always slow. They were a few weeks behind with the Spider Gremlin too.

Pacific Rim - 7" Ultra Deluxe Action Figure - Kaiju Otachi Flying Version - Pacific Rim - 2013 Movie Figures


this is the version we were all hoping they were making.

 

[rjszar]

Well, people were complaining about the price of the last version. This one comes without the intricate tail, so I'm guessing no one will order this........ except me.

I held off on the last one because I was hoping for this version, sure the 65 bucks sucks but at least it comes with a stand to pose it like it's flying.

 

[Underworld54]

This is a tad bit dirty and annoying on NECA's part.

As a special treat for collectors, the damaged tail stub on this figure can be removed to attach the full tail from the previously released Land Version of Otachi (sold separately).

 

[G-M53]

A while back, I asked Randy directly if the flying version would come with a tail and he said no but the parts would be interchangeable. But it'd sure be nice to have one complete version for the $65 price tag.

So im contemplating picking up a Gypsy Danger, new to this thread, so could anyone give me a quick idea on which is the most favoured or does it simply come down to the appearance?

Im only seeing a standard and Bd one...

GD 2.0 or Harbor Brawl GD, both are badass.

Winged Otachi looks great.

Grab some metallic sharpee markers and go to town on striker.. adding some great details.
