  (Images Source) Pacific Rim is one of my absolute favorites films from the 2010s and one was of the movies that really defined my film tastes as a teenager. NECA put out an impressive spread of designs from the movie, with Diamond Select hammering out a lot of the second film, and now Lingjihun has taken up the torch with some incredibly breathtaking new releases for this movie. Their Crimson Typhoon is perfection, and the subsequent releases like Gypsy Danger and Gypsy Avenger have been very impressive as well, not to mention the insane looking Leatherback as the line's first Kaiju release. There's lots of characters that haven't had figures before, or I'm excited to see Lingjihun tackle, and so this post will count down the figures I want most from Lingjihun's Pacific Rim line! 5. Slattern A gray, non articulated prototype for a Slattern was shown a while back and I would drool for this mega Kaiju to be released in the line. The final obstacle in the first film,...

When Pacific Rim came out in 2013 I was blown away and while I knew it wasn't a critically great movie it was an absolutely fun time at the movies with a great world built in which giant robots and monsters fought one another. To go along with the movie, Neca took on the figure licensing rights and gave us some really spectacularly sculpted and painted figures based on the Jaegers and Kaiju from the film. While I wasn't as big a fan of the second film I still enjoyed the designs of the robots and the monsters, with Diamond Select this time around taking on the figure rights. Both companies have ceased their lines of figures for the franchise, and after some really great offerings, I'm looking back on my collection and thinking about the top 5 Pacific Rim action figures I wish we got in figure form. Truthfully we were very close to completely 100% of the on screen cast of robots and kaiju, but these are my top 5 that didn't quite make it. (Image Source) Related post...

And just like that, I've hit my 400th post on this blog! I keep saying this every time a one hundred mark gets hit and I'll say it again here but I find it insane that I've already written and published so much here. The tagline of my blog may include movies and books but at this point its pretty much just a toy blog, and to fully embrace that my 400th post will be looking into most of the major toylines I collect and my favorite figures from each of them! Now keep in mind, I won't be including every toyline that I've ever talked about on the blog, or even the toyline I have that I haven't discussed, but just a few of the major ones important to me and my personal collecting history so this list won't be super long. So to celebrate 400 posts, here are some of my favorite action figures ever.

In a recent inquiry to Diamond Select Toys about wave 4 of their Pacific Rim line, I was told they they would be waiting to see how wave 3 did at retail first, then added that preorders are more important now than ever with Toysrus going under. With this response, it seems to me that the fate of the Pacific Rim line rests solely in the performance sales of wave 3, and the amount of preorders it recieves. I believe this also holds true for their first Kaiju releasing in September, Hakuja, and the fate of the Kaiju figures. So I am here to give you some reasons why you should want this line to continue, what could come next if it does, and why you should preorder wave 3 of Diamond Select's Pacific Rim wave 3 and Hakuja. 3. Wave 3 is awesome To state the obvious, wave 3 is plainly a great line up of figures. November Ajax did not get much time in the movie, but while he was there it was a sleek Jaeger that reintroduced us to Pacific Rim's giant mechs. Valor Omega arg...

After five years of waiting, the giant robots are finally back to cancel the apocalypse again, in a movie whose tagline and modo seem to be, "Bigger is better," and as they promised, the spectacle is definitely bigger, but does the overall quality of the movie enjoy a boost as well, or does it fall short of its predecessor? When the first Pacific Rim film released in 2013 I loved it, and as time went on I continued to love it and eagerly awaited the second installment which is finally on the big screen yet again. It has its issues, but it also has its strengths, and I'll get to each one individually. (Note: spoilers ahead in spoiler specified areas) (Image Source) Music- The reason that I am going over music first is because I adored the soundtrack in the first Pacific Rim, it was grand, bombastic, and catchy. I left the theater remembering the themes to the movie and listening to them on youtube afterwards, the music seemed to be larger than life in order to accu...
