In Pacific Rim, the Kaiju Leatherback is a massive category IV sized creature that wreaks havoc on the heroic Jaegers and the whole of Hong Kong.

 

The designers at NECA accurately capture the look and bulk of Leatherback with the figure released in Series 2 of their Pacific Rim line.

 

The figure stands at approximately 8 inches with it’s ‘hunched’ posture and has a surprising 24 points of articulation. This includes individually moving claws, ankles, and a hinged jaw. Leatherback weighs in at a ridiculous 1 pound, 6.5 ounces, over 3 times the weight of Gipsy Danger. Despite the weight and size of each arm, they can still be posed in a variety of ways (given your figure has tight joints).

NECA‘s 1st wave of Pacific Rim Action Figures arrived stateside last month and for those of you looking for more, have no fear! More are coming! MTV Geek has posted an exclusive interview with NECA, and they revealed new figures coming in future waves! Some interesting information was relayed…did you know that the upcoming 18 Inch Gipsy Danger is a nod to the old Shogun Warriors line from the 70’s?! Some Kaiju are huge and would be too expensive to feature in the line, so NECA decided to create figures of Kaiju that were close to their targeted pricepoint. Series 2 will feature:

  • Leatherback who they described as a “enormous, huge and heavy chunk of plastic”
  • Striker Eureka
  • Battle Damaged Gipsy Danger with chain sword accessories
