So,which Pacific Rim Uprising figures are better? The ones from Diamond Select or Bandai?
I want to buy some Jaegars but I have no idea which one of these two companies has better quality.

If you want weathering the Diamond Select, if you don't care about weathering, Bandai.

I don't think that wave ever even got confirmed for release after the prototypes were shown.

Bandai also showed Prototypes for these in the RD line, I think.

Is NECA Mutavore any good? He looks cool but I know NECA's PR line was a bit hit-or-miss (some figures were decent and others exploded out of the package or had shite articulation).

It's not just you, but as much as I love Halo over all, it's not like the body structure of the Elites is that original. And that's fine.

Mutavore was pretty damn good. Articulation is decent for how bulky the kaiju are in general, but from what I've messed around with he definitely needs the stand. Great sculpt and paint job, and no issues taking him out of the box.

AAA games and Hollywood movies don't have a lot of variety for alien and monster designs nowadays. Pretty much everything is a muscular reptilian thing with backward legs and possibly mandibles.

Bandai has better articulation and build quality but not much paint apps. I'm used to building gunpla though so that doesn't really bother me.

If you can't find one affordably, Hardship uses a lot of the same body, but with a different head. And his coloring is really neat.

From what i've seen from a review of a Diamond Select the only thing it has over the bandai one I have is the size and the paint job and even there it isn't that suberb. Everything else seems flat out inferior. Articulation seems bad and the arm blades aren't removable.

My advice, wait for the relaunch of the bandai ones that have a paint job, although the price is going up on those.

Both are shit. Diamond's both look and feel bad, with cheap looking weathering and shit articulation. Bandai's look incredibly unfinished, with mostly unpainted bare plastic, but at least they have pretty decent articulation. The only one I haven't tried yet is the model kits, but from what I've seen, those might be the winner in terms of a good balance of sculpt and proportions. Plus, the kit is the only Gipsy Avenger with an LED chest.

It's Boyega's fault that the story is the way it is. He did produce that piece of shit film after all. This was meant to be his vehicle to escape Star Wars nothingness. And he fucked it up cause he's an idiot.

Nope, both movies. You were likely blinded by your thirst for live action mech stuff but the first is a boring mess of a movie that barely quantifies as entertainment.
Uprising is a travesty though.
