Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim'

[Tking22]

I loved this movie, for a lot reasons, I don't own any of the Neca figures because I heard, uh, mixed things to say the least. That said, my Neca 18" Gypsy Danger is on the way, I'm pretty excited, I'd like an in-scale kaiju to go with it too, but oh well.

edited: Lol there is no 22" Gypsy Danger, I have the 18" on the way.

Didn't know NECA made a 22". Thought they only made 7" and 18".

Anyway, moar pictarz!!!

As such, I only have CT and Cherno, but my CT can never do this pose...

Cherno Alpha is the newest Galaxy Angel...

@ treatment: That Cherno fig looks awesome!

I'd just only watched Pacific Rim on DVD.

It's strange how before watching the movie, I had absolutely no interest in the Jaeger toys and found them rather bland. But by the time the credits rolled, I yearned for a Striker or Gypsy Danger. No wonder Hasbro was so into making TF movies.

Still, I've read quite a few mixed reviews on the NECA toys, and was personally underwhelmed by the ED-209 I got. That said, I heard that NECA's done with "budget" Jaegers, and is now making more high-end versions. Depending on how they turn out, I might at least pick up Striker and Gypsy Danger.

So my 18" Gypsy Danger is pretty sweet, and I have no intention of getting into the smaller line at all, so I was forced to pre-order the 18" KnifeHead to go with Gypsy, I can't wait.

Or Despicable Me 3.

[anime52k8]

Despicable Me 2 was adorable.

[Phyrox]

Or Despicable Me 3.

Eh, Despicable Me 2 was a much more enjoyable experience than Pacific Rim, and I'm sure I'd rather see another installment from that franchise.

[DuelGundam2099]

They should get Kenny Loggins music in the sequel, I mean the first movie was basically Top Gun: Robotic Edition.

Care to explain how you can make that connection?

Oddly enough he has a point with the whole "co-pilot dies, I quit, romance woman attached to the project, comeback, kickass, save day" routine. Edited June 27, 2014 by renegadeleader1

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken, as Pacific Rim was the best movie OF ALL TIME FOREVER AND EVER TO INFINITY PLUS ONE.

...if you are a 10 year old Boy.

[Kanedas Bike]

Meh, I thoroughly enjoyed Pacific Room and I'm quite a bit older than a 10 year old. Maybe one has to have a certain level of immaturity to prescribe to that theory.

Oddly enough he has a point with the whole "co-pilot dies, I quit, romance woman attached to the project, comeback, kickass, save day" routine.

It's a similar enough plot point across a lot of action/drama/sci-fi fiction, where that analogy loses steam with me is the "training school"/"best of the best" aspect of Top Gun, which Pacific Rim was none of.

Excited for the prospect of another film and more media, it took balls for Guillermo to move forward with the project to begin with and even more so to keep going after the 'mixed' reaction to the first.

[Tking22]

I absolutely loved Pacific Rim, definitely one of the most entertaining and fun movies I've seen in years, I'm so glad to hear a sequel and an animated film or whatever is on the way! My 18" Knifehead figure is on the way, I can't wait, I'm building a super sweet diorama that replicates the opening battle of the first film as we speak, I've got little helicopters hooked up to LED lights and everything, I'm painting cotton to replica the ocean, oh it will be so sweet!

...if you are a 10 year old Boy.

I do not deny this.

Cool! Did you appear anywhere in the film as an extra or anything?

He designed the sets for the Mech control rooms

[Kanedas Bike]

Still want a good (read Metal Build) Gipsy Danger toy release.

Even with a .000000000001% chance of happening I'm going to hold out hope.

Oh, I know, I was just wondering if he got a chance to be in one of the crowd scenes as an extra or anything.

[wm cheng]

Nah, I wasn't in any scenes. I was there for many of the days of Conn-Pod shooting though, just behind the camera. I did love standing in there and pressing the buttons (hehe).

Yes, I still want decent Pac Rim Toys - the NECA ones just don't cut it.

There was supposed to be a company making diecast versions but nothing has been shown in all this time...

I saw this earlier but I could have sworn it was fan made, oh well, it's well made and it looks cool either way. I'm excited, I loved the first film, can't wait for the next, and the third...

Made me think of this:

[EXO]

LOL! And no one saw it coming THREE MORE TIMES!

[renegadeleader1]

It looks fan made because I'm pretty sure that's the bleeping IJN Yamato on the right.

Saw it earlier and it was nice.

However, it actually reminded me more of Macross Zero instead of PR...

[areaseven]

Pacific Rim 2 Will Be Set Years After the Original; Charlie Day and Burn Gorman to Return

[Agent ONE]

Pre-emptive, thumbs down.

I really wanted to like the original, but it was just horrible. No way to rescue this franchise.

They should just make another movie with another title: Monsters from the Pacific

There, done.
