I've been tempted by a full-sized RoboCop, but ED-209? Well, maybe if it was concrete, and I could put it in the yard!

Looking more closely at that ED-209, something is missing, It looks like ED went on a diet.

Working Wolverine claws. Now he just needs to have them surgically implanted into his forearms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87EtjZ_kmWM

First pictures from Wave 1 of NECA's 'Pacific Rim' figures:
Those are the Jaeger machines from the movie - America's vintage model 'Gipsy Danger', and the three-armed Chinese counterpart 'Crimson Typhoon'. There's also going to be a toy of the 'Knifehead' Kaiju, and I expect NECA's going to release some of the other mechs/monsters further down the line (Australia's 'Striker Eureka' looks nice and 'Macross'-y, so fingers crossed that it gets a toy at some point...).
Got to say, I'm glad NECA got the license for the movie - they've got a great track record for collectible-level sculpts and paint apps, but without sacrificing articulation á la McStatues (and frankly, some of the recent McFarlane toys haven't even been well-painted/sculpted, either). These ones actually use ILM's cgi models from the film in the same manner as RealScan likenesses, so I imagine that the actual toys will look incredible in the 'flesh' (...plastic?). If they're at least as good as NECA's 'Predator' or 'RoboCop' offerings, I'm going to be a very happy camper indeed!

Heads up for Ryan Maxwell:
Good news - They are doing a Puck in the 6" Marvel Legends scale. Bad news - It's a Build-a-Figure for a Wolverine wave.
Also, the 3.75" scale version hit the online retailers, so he should be showing up on the store shelves soon.

Looks like the S.H. MonsterArts line of Toho Movie Figures is going "Showa-era": 
From WonderFest, the 1964 "Mosu-Goji" or GODZILLA VS. THE THING version. EDIT - Hmmm... I wonder if the PACIFIC RIM Jaeger Mecha figures posted above will be in the same scale as these...

More photos of that S.H. MonsterArts 1964 "Mosu-Goji": http://importingmonsters.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/import-monst ers-exclusive-sh.html They really got the eyes right with this one (hopefully it will be the same with the actual production figure).

I picked up the "busts" of the Enchantress and the Executioner, which satisfies my "need" for them.Still thinking about custom building a helmet for the Executioner. Should be easy enough...!
