As Tamashii Comic-Con continues there have been a huge number of reveals and display prototypes on shown for various western properties like Marvel, Star Wars, & DC. If you’d like to check out all of these, we highly suggest you head over to our sister site, Toyark.com to see their reporting. For us though, the con has provided more display prototypes from Pacific Rim Uprising!

For starters we have Robot Spirits Gispy Avenger Tokyo Final Battle Version! This remold/repaint of the original Avenger release features the left arm Plasma Caster, and rocket booster used  for the decisive battle near and above Mount Fuji. It also appears to include the Plasma Chainsaws taken from Obsidian Fury for the same battle. Second, we have our first look at the Robot Spirits Drone Jaegers. These are their pre-Kaiju Hybrid forms which are actually only seen quite briefly in the film.

For now we don’t have any release information for this pair of figures, but we’ll be sure to update you when and if it does. Images come courtesy of Figsoku.

Following up Bluefin Tamashii’s other excellent exclusives for this year’s San Diego Comic Con, they are also teasing an exclusive 2-pack exclusive from Pacific Rim Uprising!

While Bluefin promises more information is coming soon, we can already see from the preview image of this set, that it features re-releases of the popular Robot Spirits Obsidian Fury & Gypsy Avenger. However this go around they appear to be repainted in far more accurate detail, calling back to the Premium Color repaints other Tamashii lines  (like Dragonball) have received over the years.

We don’t have information on the pricing of this set yet, but it will most certainly be available at the Bluefin Brands booth as with their other exclusives, the SOC Black Megazord & Helmetless MMPR Figuarts.

“The only thing standing in front of the apocalypse, is us.”

In the 5 years since Pacific Rim first rampaged it’s way across theater screens, fans have been rabid for a sequel to this giant robot love letter. Meanwhile collector’s have been desperately hoping a better option for merchandise and collectibles for the franchise. Well Tamashii Nations has finally come to rescue to provide fantastic action figures and toys at multiple price points and functionality from Pacific Rim Uprising! Today we’re taking a look at the very first release in their Pacific Rim Robot Spirits (Damashii) line with Gypsy Avenger!

Kicking the line off in fantastic fashion, is the heroic mech central to Uprising’s plot, Gypsy Avenger. The slimmed down successor to Gypsy Danger, Avenger comes to us at an insanely affordable price point (only $20!) and is one of the best and most functional figures we could hope for at that price. Armed with her Gravity Sling & Chain Sword, Gypsy Avenger can go toe to toe with the toughest Kaiju, giant robots, or otherwise huge heroes in your collection.

We’ve attached the full 70 image gallery of Robot Spirits Gypsy Avenger to this post. You can also read our extensive (and positive) review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And, we’re gonna continue to cancel the apocalypse off and on for the next month as we review the other 5 Pacfic Rim Robot Spirits that make up the rest of waves 1 & 2!

During a livestream event hosted by Tamashii Nations today, a brand new Robot Damashii release from the upcoming Pacific Rim Uprising was revealed!

Basically all of the Jaegars seen in the two trailers at this point have been revealed to have RD’s on the way. But thanks to this stream we can also confirm the upcoming 7Net exclusive Robot Damashii Gypsy Avenger (Clear Blue Print Version)! Taking the standard Gypsy Avenger mold and casting it in translucent blue parts, this release is (obviously) meant to mimic the Jaegars original blueprint plans.

Will you be able to snag this odd exclusive? Time will tell!

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!
