Tamashii Nations Shanghai is in full swing! You may recall that a couple months back we heard our first confirmation that Bandai/Tamashii Nations had finally acquired the license to produce toys for the Pacific Rim franchise. At the time the only offering previewed was a rough prototype of the Soul of Chogokin Gypsy Danger. But as of today we can get excited about one more upcoming product as well!
Shown off for the first time is the brand new Robot Damashii Gypsy Avenger from Pacific Rim 2! This successor to the original Gypsy Danger, piloted by the son of Stacker Pentecost, is so far the first product revealed for the highly anticipated sequel. But we’re sure it’s far form the last. For now this release doesn’t have any confirmed release details this far out from the films release on February 23rd, 2018, but we’ll certainly keep you updated as more details become available this year!
Now, let’s cancel the apocalypse!
Thanks to sources over on Weibo, we have new pictures of upcoming Orb releases, with Fan Favorite Juggulus Juggler getting a January 2018 release date selling at an MSRP of 6500 Yen. Meanwhile Orb's first in-show form, Spacium Zeperion is being released a month earlier, at an MSRP of 5500 yen. Burnmite, Hurricane Slash, and Thunder Breaster were revealed too, but are labeled as "Display Only."
I like that first one.
Aw yus, I need those.
I do think both Spacium Zeperion and Jugglus Juggler are retail releases, both lack the Premium Bandai logo on their cards, plus, I don't expect Orb's first form to be a Web-Exclusive and the wording of their releases on the cards is identical so I do think Juggler will land at retail too.
Which is sweet, that saves me some cash.
I do hope they release all of the alternate forms as well during the next year, they look great!
Aww yes! Jugglus is a definite buy and I'm VERY tempted by Thunder Breaster too.
glad they're all coming out though, I just wish X would get some love as well.
The rest I'll have to pass on. They all look FANTASTIC but gotta draw the line somewhere and getting all the Ultra kaiju/aliens is proving pricey enough
Damn, I love the Orb designs but Figuarts are just too pricey.
introducing Gipsy Avenger!
And it's a Robot Damashii too, not a Chogokin, so this shouldn't tear a giant hole into your wallet.
For some reason I was expecting SHF Pacific Rim figures but Robot Damashii makes more sense. Haha. Definitely excited to see more though. I'm liking the new design.
This is exactly what I wanted from Bandai, so I'm game.
