Your hostility towards vinyls is irritating.

EDIT: That sounded a lot meaner than I mean it to. I can understand not wanting to buy them, everyone has their own tastes, it just seems like you don't even want them to release vinyl figures, which confuses me.
the kicker is there's usually no alternative with pacific rim kaiju. Godzilla's I'm okay with because there are plenty of other options, for pacific rim however this likely won't be the case

Yeah that makes sense. I got the Raijin and Shrikethorn they released and my only complaint was the cost, they're ridiculously expensive.

I really hope they do a few kaiju to go with it. Preferably Sofvi Spirits like Raijin and Shrikethorn!

One or two Kaiju to go with it would be nice to get at some point.
Be it Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman XYZ or whatever else: it always bothers me when they release a standalone character and never get around to do just even a single of that characters' specific opponents to display it with.

However, WHEN will we get the Jaegers and Kaiju from the original PR movie...? I believe people would buy the hell out of those. I would.
The stuff from 'PR Uprising' just didn't sell that well because the movie was garbage. The figures werent' actually bad and I have them all.
Please BANDAI, get some PR 1 stuff out there!

I missed out on all the NECA kaiju, and Sofvi Spirits ones are fine, so I'd love to get a Leatherback or Knifehead in that line.

All I ever wanted was Slattern and Onibaba vinyls. :(

I'm rather doubtful that Bandai's going to go back and do anything else from the movies, unfortunately. They cancelled a few figures that we know of, which I'm guessing was because the previous ones sold poorly, including an Otachi vinyl.

I'm legitimately shocked they're even making this anime one, but grateful for it, as I'll probably end up getting if for no other reason than to complete my Jaeger collection.

Yes, it's a real shame... especially since I bet that there's still money to be made with Robot Spirits Jaegers and Sofvi Spritis (or even S.H.MonsterArts) Kaiju from del Toro's original movie. That one is genrally loved by Kaiju fans while Uprising is quite despised (which I can totally understad). Again, it's a shame that the bad 2nd movie has ruined so much regarding this great franchise... -_-

I hope they at least make a Gypsy Danger. (And re release the Chogokin one also)

Also, please Diamond Select make some figures also for The Black!

Y E S please! a kaiju from them would be nice too (yes I'm aware the previous Hakuja was a vinyl but it had hinges in the jaw and shoulders which allowed for better posing options than the typical "hug me" pose from normal vinyls)

I love how the Atlas Destroyer is also giving us that chain spear. Gonna' be having a lot of fun giving it some Scorpion-esque poses with it.

Debating whether I should get the 18 inch Knifehead.

I decided to go with Trespasser instead.

I also ordered the Bandai Saber Athena and the Diamond Select Guardian Bravo!
So, still no news for an U.S. release of Atlas Destroyer. But it is on BigBadToyStore, for over $60.

Sorry for the double post, but I went and ordered the Chogokin Gipsy! I hope Bandai releases a Chogokin Atlas Destroyer! Any chance of that happening?

Absolutely not. I think they were supposed to do a Chogokin Crimson Typhoon but sales didn't support the line.

My Soul of Chogokin Gypsy came in! Sadly, it's a used figure without the backflaps and most of the accessories, but I got it at a good price. I am very happy.

Next, I plan on getting Neca's Crimson Typhoon finally, plus either the 18 inch Cherno Alpha or the 18 inch Knifehead. Reading users negative reviews on the 18 inch Knifehead in the past PacRim thread is pushing me towards Cherno.

Also, I ordered Valor Omega!

I remember the days when people joked about using the 18 inch knife head as a weapon.

Dang!

I got Valor Omega and the Kaiju Drone. Next up, I have the 18 inch Cherno Alpha arriving.
