Fantastic, especially combined with all the 1/350 scale ships and nautical diorama accessories you can get!

Re: 1/350 Pacific Rim model kits by Max Factory

Does anyone have any info on these? Haven't found anything online and I can't read the site to see if they are coming or here. I LOVED the film and really want to build a Striker Eureka or a Tacit Ronin! Heck I'd even take ol' Gypsy Danger at this point!

Trying to hold off buying one of these...

Unfortunately there has not been any news since that initial announcement. I'm crossing my fingers we'll get more news next weekend (Feb 7th) at winter WonderFes.

Ooooh man, those things look GORGEOUS. Maybe I'll find something out about those when I'm out in Japan.

I love this design; might be the only subject from the movie I'd actually buy...

Re: 1/350 Pacific Rim model kits by Max Factory

On July 24th this Saturday the Summer 2016 Wonder Festival will be held with Max Factory being one of the attendees.


They're teasing with what they're bringing on Twitter. Hopefully we'll be getting the dates and prices.
