The Toyark:

For Pacific Rim: Uprising, the sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s love letter to giant monster movies, the licensing has been distributed to multiple companies. For the first film, it was mainly NECA who produced figures, and that line ran for quite some time, spanning over 30 figures across size classes. This time around, the main licensees are Diamond Select Toys and Bandai/Tamashii Nations. With the latter, there will be numerous releases set up for the film, across different figure lines. Those include Robot Damashii (Robot Spirits), Soul of Chogokin, Model Kits and SOFVI Spirits (for the Kaiju). This different size classes allow for Tamashii Nations to have figures available at multiple price points. Today, we are sharing an in-hand look at the first three Robot spirits and the first SOFVI Spirits Pacific Rim: Uprising Figures.

The first round of releases includes Gipsy Avenger, Titan Redeemer, and Bracer Phoenix in the 6"³ scale Robot Spirits line. For the SOFVI Spirits, we have Raijin, one of the featured Kaiju from the trailers for the film. Bluefin has provided us with the figures, and we have 90 photos and a full review.

These look SO goddamned good.

The only thing I’m on the fence about is having figures which - while are of awesome looking robots - are from a not so great movie.
