What's interesting to me about the design style of Pacific Rim is that the meka look like a mix of a Super Robot style machine, but built like a Real Robot. The rocket punch is a classic Super Robot move, but the way that they are "landed" and the pilots "walk" them makes me think Real Robot.

That, and the kaiju we have seen resemble the Terrasaurs from Monsterpocalypse! The one with the big chin really reminds me of Terra Khan from that game. (This is not a complaint).

Following up on that discussion we were having about NECA and their handling of the Pacific Rim toyline, NECA proves they aren't dumb and know what the people really want!

A new trailer has been released at CES. New footage, and overall a better look at the robots!

Looking good, but will the figures hold up in the QC department?
