NECA’s ToyFair display includes an impressive display of Pacific Rim figures!
In addition to the already-released Gipsy Danger & Knifehead toys, we also have a close look at the upcoming “TRESPASSER” Kaiju along with two more Jaeger figures: the Russian Cherno Alpha and the Japanese Coyote Tango, both impressive (if probable final) entries in the Pacific Rim toyline.
Be sure to check out ToyArk’s full Pacific Rim Toyfair gallery!
More good news for NECA collectors! The King of the Monsters will be joining their lineup of toys later this year!
Sadly there are no official images of the recently-announced Godzilla figures yet (we’ll have to wait until ToyFair later this month) but the descriptions seem very promising:
*GOJIRA 1954: From one of the most anticipated movie releases this year, NECA announces the relaunch of the classic Godzilla franchise. The first 6″ tall figure is highly detailed and fully articulated and 12” long from head to tail! Over 25 points of articulation and a bendable tail.
*GODZILLA 2014: From one of the most anticipated movie releases this year, the relaunch of the classic Godzilla franchise. This 12″ tall figure is highly detailed and fully articulated, and 24” long from head to tail! Over 25 points of articulation, bendable tail, and sound effects.This classic movie monster has never looked so good in toy form.
Definitely sounds like fun times ahead for kaiju collectors!
Some new images from NECA’s next “Pacific Rim” release have come online!
This is the Category III Kaiju codenamed “Knifehead” updated in a larger scale and with new battle damage detail. The upsizing brings Knifehead much closer in size to the already-released Jaeger figures.
Knifehead Version 2 has an expected release window of first-quarter 2014 and these in-package pictures suggest that retailers will have this wave in stock very soon.
Thanks to sister site ToyArk we’ve got our first official look at Pacific Rim Series 3 figures Coyote Tango & Cherno Alpha. NECA recently posted the first images of these fully painted figures to tease their upcoming February release. Check them out after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums”.

We know there are some of you itching to get your hands on NECA’s 18″ Gipsy Danger[/URL] figure. We can’t blame you, to cancel the apocalypyse, you need bigger robots! This is NECA‘s 1st Jaeger so far in their 18″ line, with Knifehead[/URL] to follow next year.
The 18″ Gipsy Danger was released recently and thanks to Gamu-toys[/URL] we have a select batch of in-hand images to show you. For comparison, figures from SH Figuarts and MonsterArts are also shown. Read on to check out images of NECA’s long awaited 18″ Gipsy Danger!
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).
