Pacific Rim Figures Used in VSF and PULP and Cthulhu?
« on: September 01, 2013, 08:44:37 AM »
I'm doing it. Just thought I'd see if anyone else is. Or if anyones got any conversion ideas as inspiration.

Just generally love to see what you guys are doing.

So please post your ideas. :-* :o

Do you mean figures from 'Pacific Rim'? I didn't know there were any. What sort of size are they?

Heroclix Pacific Rim. Sorry I didn't think. The figures Come in 10 Variations. 5 Mecha and 5 Kaiju (Monsters) They stand about 2 inches (50mm) tall. not including the Clix base. which I remove.

Cherno Alpha looks like a VSF Robot Ned Kelly

While all the Monsters could grace any Horror Sci-fi style game. Though I am particularly fond of the Leatherback mini.

They are disappearing quite quickly from all suppliers.

I want need a model of the Cherno-Alpha. Im waiting on some company or another bringing out some small scale model kits though (1/144th or smaller) rather than risk buying into 'Clix wibbly-wobbly plastic.

I know! I've been scanning the infernalness net and I keep finding action figures in 7" Scales but they are brand new and about £18 each and not of the ones I'd find useful. Plus I think £18 is a bit much for something I am probably going to destroy.

Wait maybe Poundland will come to our rescue? I must organise another raid.

Seriously though. Some company is probably even now knocking out cheapo versions. Keep 'em peeled and let everyone know.

The recent Clix have been far less "wobbly" than their predecessors. Swords and gun barrels still have plenty of flex, but the main body, arms and legs are pretty rigid.

The Pacific Rim clix, being especially chunky, are almost as sturdy as regular plastic minis.

The 'wobblyness' is less the problem for me in all honesty. Its far more the softness of the details and large, difficult to remove mold lines.
