Like I said in the thread before, the trailer pretty much ticked every box for me. I went from knowing very little about the film to it being one of my most anticipated movies for next year.

It also helps that GLaDOS is voicing the robots. Hearing Ellen McLain's voice is music to my ears.

I can't help it though, as that is what the trailer made it look like. At least I didn't compare it to Battleship's trailer.

The only thing I found cool in the trailer was hearing the VA for GLaDOS in it, but the rest of it just look like it is going to be a pretty action movie full of standard poor acting stereotypes (the trailer had the token black commander, the karate knowing Asian chick) and giant monsters. All it was missing was god awful rap music to signify that it is not going to be a good movie (like the new GI Joe trailer just did).

Didn't expect this at all. I had just seen a pic of people in battle suits before. Was pleasantly surprised to see giant mechs

Not seeing the similiarities. Are they fighting other transformable robots? .. No, not that. Are they boxing on television for your PPV dollars? No. They're fighting giant kaiju. Is it because they're all robots and it's a lazy comparison? Perhaps, perhaps.

cannot... freaking... wait...

Alright, I know this thread's been buried for a while, but I wanted to bump it because this bit of news will likely excite most of us, being toy people.

Pacific Rim toys coming soon!

Who's doing the toys? NECA! I actually called this when the license distributor for merchandise was announced, but regardless, awesome news.

Hell's yes. I love me some NECA.

NECA's a good ol' respectable company. They'd probably give the toys better attention than other toy companies, and I think their monster work will be epic! I'm just wondering if they have any experience in designing mecha. I can't think of any of prior mecha work of theirs. Do we know any previous examples?

No previous examples, but I think they'll do good.
