Re: Pacific Rim Figures the Sequel
It's like the ONLY thing they're lacking, comparing to the NECA line. Other than that, I can't say a negative word against the Raijin figure, nothing wrong with paint application, and the price was ok (45 bucks or so, not terribly much).master_of_monsters wrote:I vote articulationCosbydaf wrote:I love Pacific Rim kaiju, but they really need to step up their game to get me to buy them.

Also, good news about that Sovfi Spirits Otachi. I was ALMOST ready to pull the trigger and get a NECA one.

I think I'll go with Diamond Select over Bandai. Even what we get is worse than the prototype it'll still be better.

Even the prototype for Bandai Hakuja looked a lot better;

Had diamond select given Hakuja a release date yet? Sorry to be that guy, just can't seem to find a date

Re: Pacific Rim Figures the Sequel
In this case, we're paying for the brand, not just for the quality of the figure. Anyway, while it's "just a vinyl", it's an IMPRESSIVE one. Tbh, it's easier for me to pay such amount of money for a good looking new release, than for some ugly-ass oldschool figure, just because its rarity.master_of_monsters wrote:for a vinyl, that's pretty ridiculous *shivers at X plus*Israha wrote:It's like the ONLY thing they're lacking, comparing to the NECA line.

Pre-ordered Bandai's Shrikethorn and Hakuja off BBTS. $60 for Shrikethorn, $40 for Hakuja. The wife was sitting here beside me, saying: "Order them, honey! Order them!" God has indeed blessed us...
EDIT: Got my Raijin today! What a beast! It's huge! Not the most poseable thing in the world, bigger and bulkier than most MonsterArts, but just as detailed as one! Good deal for only $40, IMO...

Re: Pacific Rim Figures the Sequel
I'm chomping at the bits waiting for a wave 3 confirmation! I'd love to eventually have a JEAGER ARMY comprised of the full cast from both movies.
And if the Jeagers do well enough, maybe they'll re-consider their course on kaiju and make some that are comparable to the Figuarts Ultra-monsters/SHMA.
Not as likely, but here's hoping.

Re: Pacific Rim Figures the Sequel
I wonder if DS Hakuja will scale with Bandai Raijin and Shrikethorn. I don't want them to look weird beside each other just because i got the better looking Hakuja...

BBTS lists the DS Hakuja as 12 inches long, and the Bandai Hakuja as 11. It might work.MechaSkeleturtle666 wrote:I wonder if DS Hakuja will scale with Bandai Raijin and Shrikethorn. I don't want them to look weird beside each other just because i got the better looking Hakuja...
I hope the mass release looks as good as the prototype. That detail!

Re: Pacific Rim Figures the Sequel
Thanks! I'll probably get the Ds then, it looks way better than the Bandai. The Bandai version seemed a tad small anyway. The detail on the prototype sure is great!

If the diamonds go well with the bandais then I might pick them up.

Kinda random, but I hope November Ajax's figure has some "holding accessory hands" - got a spear I want him to hold since he didn't use anything in the movie.
