>>8944444>Nobody except Neca, who pumped out shitty dollarbin garbage?This gets blown waaay out of proportion. For a $20 price point in 2014, these figures were unbeatable. You got a shit-ton of plastic, reasonably good articulation, and pretty decent paint apps and weathering considering it's a mass market toy. I collected this line for most of its run, and played with/posed them heavily, and only ever had one break on me. They also covered a phenomenal amount of the universe, not only making multiple/ultimate versions of the main Jaegers, but also concept Jaegers that only showed up in the movie for a second or not at all, multiple forms/versions of some of the kaiju, and those amazing 1/4 scale ones. NECA has their ups and downs, but the Pacific Rim line was generally fucking amazing. Even after all these years and advances in toys, I still count some of these as favorites among my collection (particularly the kaiju).
Were they the best toys in the world? No. Were we lucky to get so much for a newcomer franchise that only did "ok" at the US box office? Absofuckinglutely.
