Without the need of any dialog those characters stood out a lot. They where visually so badass that I fully believe that is what happens to them .

[areaseven]

Couldn't they simply use one of the existing posters for the Blu-ray cover? This is... bland.



This, however, might be worth breaking the bank.

Anyone seen new info on the 18 inch Gipsy Danger? Seems to be pre ordered out or inflated... Thanks!

[Limbo]

I preordered one from Toywiz for $80... Still says shipping in August.

BBTS says shipping September. Can't seem to find a review anywhere on the web.

It's also really incorrect.

[Negotiator]

Cover looks bad. Cheap photoshop.

[David Hingtgen]

Really, there's no excuse for a bad cover when the main character exists as a fully-modeled 3D render which you have access to the files for etc. You could have it in ANY pose/lighting you desire. And you could also scale it properly to the surroundings/background...

[Kelsain]

Yeah, Gypsy looks smaller than a Gundam there.

Pacific Rim 'Before & Afters' - YouTube by Mirida Studios.

-Hardship fought by Romeo Blue is the Bladehead concept.
-Romeo Blue has piston fist like Cherno Alpha.
-Karloff layering.
-Hundun's face shown a bit.
-Tacit Ronin Awesome shot.

Doesn't matter which cover, I'm going to buy a download from Amazon or iTunes.

The 16-bit remix that does what Nintendon't.

[areaseven]

I just got the Digital HD version of the film, and it turns out that there's more Japanese dialogue that was re-dubbed in the international release. For those outside North America, here are the lines that were re-dubbed into English:

1. Mako is introduced to Raleigh in Hong Kong.

2. Mako argues with Pentecost about not getting a chance to be Raleigh's co-pilot.

3. Pentecost tells Mako to have more control during her sparring match with Raleigh.

4. Pentecost gives Mako her old shoe.

5. Mako introduces Gipsy Danger's Chain Sword.

6. Mako's last message to Pentecost (not subtitled in the U.S. version).

Guillermo del Toro direct the intro for the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XXIV. Some Jaeger vs Kaiju in the background at the beginning.

Quite an awesome intro chuck full of references to sci-fi and horror films classics.

Thought this would be of interest. The US BluRay is releasing 15 Oct, the Japanese version is only due for release in Dec.... BUT, it's got both English and Japanese tracks, AND English and Japanese subs!

Pacific Rim 7" Battle Damaged Gipsy Danger
NECA, 2013
Made in China

Battle Damaged Gipsy Danger figure

Chain Sword x 2

When the first wave of the Pacific Rim 7" action figures was released on July 2013, fans were disappointed by their lackluster presentation - especially Gipsy Danger, which had a bland paint job and came with none of its weapons. The second wave has arrived, and to keep collectors appeased, a Gipsy Danger repaint is among the figures in this lineup. The tag line of "battle damaged", however, is misleading; NECA simply took the standard Gipsy Danger figure and made it dirty, just the way it should've been released in the first place. Every blue panel has been darkened by an oil wash. Some of the tampo prints have been scratched off, and scraped metal effects have been added. Consequently, the figure reeks of enamel paint. As a bonus, the figure comes with two Chain Swords, which attach to the forearms. Unfortunately, the sword tabs are short, so they easily get disconnected. Both blades are in their fully extended modes; it would've been nice if one of them had all of the plates connected to form the actual sword. It also would've been better if NECA threw in a Plasma Cannon arm.

As for articulation, nothing has changed. Though the figure has 18 points of articulation, collectors of Gundam or Transformers figures will be very disappointed by the limited range of poseability on the arms and legs. There are no bicep swivel joints and the elbows and knees don't have double joints to do full bends, meaning an Elbow Rocket pose is not possible. The design of the thigh armor plates interferes with the range of hip movement. As a result, there's not much you can do with Gipsy Danger other than standing poses.

So yes, this re-release of Gipsy Danger is still a disappointment, but it still makes a good display piece and is adequate for those who are not willing to break the bank for the upcoming 18" figure.

Articulation: C+

Hi folks! Need help tracking down an 18 inch Gipsy Danger. They're should be heading to stores soon since NECA's ship date was last week. Trying to avoid too inflated a price past the $89 msrp. Appreciate the help!

It's got an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects, but will it beat Gravity?

No, and not taking anything away from Pacific Rim, but it shouldn't.

Anyone in the L.A. area interested, there is a gallery opening with the Art of Pacific Rim that we produced in the art department as well as conceptual pieces during pre-production.
