Also for those of you who intend to watch Pacific Rim in IMAX, check out an IMAX poster designed by Sergio Grisanti! The poster was revealed by Hero Complex. Here’s more on the poster by director Guillermo del Toro:
“I am thrilled to introduce Sergio Grisanti to the world,” Del Toro said in a statement. “For years he has been a highly respected commercial artist. When I was first exposed to his art for ‘Pacific Rim,’ I knew instantly that he was a powerhouse of talent. He created the Jaeger posters/card art we used at WonderCon. Without any hesitation I asked him to create this new Imax Fanfix art. Look at it closely — with a magnifying glass! So much going on! Such power! Such beauty! Sergio loves his Kaijus and his Mecha, and it shows. The poster, like my film, is a tribute to well-loved things. I wish all the fans the best time at the first Imax screenings of ‘Pacific Rim.’ Enjoy!”
Also, an important note about the poster!
The limited-edition poster was created specifically as part of Imax’s Fanfix series and will be available exclusively at the first Imax showings of “Pacific Rim,” which soldiers into theaters July 12.

As a follow up to the S.H.Figuarts Metallic Blue Samurai Ranger revealed yesterday, Bluefin has now shown the S.H.Figuarts Pink Samurai ranger, done up in the same exquisite finish!
The Pink Samurai ranger is seen wielding her signature Sky Fan weapon, which just like Blue’s Hydro Bow also appears to be lacking a matching paint job.
Likewise with Blue, Pink also saw a limited run release as a Tamashi Web exclusive.
Tokunation’s weekly segment Let’s Watch Wednesdays has returned from the great beyond of last week! Having finished our last segment we’re starting up our newest adventure today with Ultraman Nexus!
We begin this segment however not with the Nexus TV series but with the film which serves as a prequel to the series, Ultraman: The Next! The film itself was released midway through Nexus’ TV run, but it actually takes place 5 years before Nexus began. Following the exploits of Ultraman Next, this film was created as part of the Ultra N Project along with Ultraman Noa to revitalize the Ultra franchise.
Join Tokunation in our communities first joint trip to the Land of Light and be sure to check out our weekly discussion thread located here. And next week we begin watching 3 episode segments of Ultraman Nexus as well!

Torrents for this film are either completely dead or non-existant.
