And then they only do figures of the human pilot characters.
Because the world is cruel like that.

Never know. SRC or someone might pick up the Mecha. Besides, NECA'll do them. They have to know people want Mecha and Kaiju, not humanity. NECA isn't Michael Bay!

Well, after some digging, they've done this guy from Borderlands:

They also did some Terminator figures, which, if anything are pretty nicely detailed. NECA seems to be less consistent with quality control, so let's see how this goes.

I would love for a Japanese company to handle these too. Maybe some monsters may appear as MonsterArts or something. :

Clappy! Loved that guy. Maybe we'll get lucky and SRC'll handle the Mecha.

What's the name of that one Bandai line that already covers a bunch of giant monsters and the mecha used to fend them off? It's something like SR KaijuAct, I forget...

NECA has plenty of experience getting down mechanical detail, between Robocop and Terminator alone, I'm sure they will do the mecha plenty of justice. And you have to be braindead if, given a lineup of mecha and kaiju that distinct and toyetic, you think it's the human pilots that need the merch most. That's not NECA - the guys who start a Left 4 Dead toyline with Special Infected, or the Prometheus line with two Engineers, or Borderlands with its most memorable robot mascot.

I figured it was NECA from the research I'd done a long time ago, but it's safe to say we're in good hands fellas.

With MonsterArts for the monsters? Should that happen, I predict my wallet will cry for mercy.

NECA certainly knows which characters appeal as their character choices are often top-notch. Accessories provided are often pretty good too. They also have an almost impeccable attention to detail at their price points. I just really hope they don't mess up in quality control this time. NECA's figures have never struck me as being very durable.

I could see that. Claptrap feels like the worst among the three figures I own in that regard, and Gordon's legs don't feel like they're solidly attached either. The Boomer, on the other hand, grab him by one leg and he makes a fantastic zombie bludgeon that wouldn't even get his detailed paint scheme chipped.

It's definitely an area where NECA isn't consistent and liable to be the biggest worry in the line.

Something about you beating back a horde of Zombies with nothing but a Boomer figure makes me chuckle like nothing else.
