I'm just over the moon for this figure. I can't wait to get a hold of it, but I'm hoping to find it locally. Great photo set by the way!

This figure came out great but I'm not 100% if I'll get one because I don't have a lot of space left in my Pacific Rim/Godzilla group and Striker was not one of my favorite Jaegers. Great photo-shoot though.

Fantastic pics, as always!! The header pic (SE with the buildings in the foreground) is so great.
As for this figure, I like it, but overall I've gotten more into the goofy background Jaegers (such as Romeo Blue and Tacit Ronin) due to their more unorthodox designs. My favorite of the "main" Jaegers remains Cherno Alpha. Such a bummer the Russians didn't kick more ass before going down. BTW, with this Ultimate line, they're note re-doing all the Jaegers, are they? I don't really see how they can improve Cherno. |

I don't know if they are redoing all of them. The upcoming Gipsy is using, I believe the Gipsy Danger 2.0 mold, which had better articulation. I think it will mainly be as many accessories as they can pack into the figure.
And thanks for the kind words on the shoot everyone. I really had some fun with this one.I'll take any chance to use the buildings I can. Just wish I had some taller buildings to use.

Yes according to its solicitation it'll feature an LED chest.

Yeah the LED light should be fun to shoot. Hopefully it's a strong bulb.

I see the glowing review and all the excitement from others on the thread, but I have to warn everyone again...buyer beware. This happened not more than five minutes after my Striker left the package...
This is because NECA obviously spent the budget on this figure's new articulation and paints, while going cheap on the construction, opting to use nothing more than GLUE to keep the legs secured to the body. Now, while that might be a harsh or untrue statement made out of anger, the truth of the matter is that there is indeed no post or peg running through the figure's hips (which the figure is somewhat top-heavy) to provide additional support, and all that's holding those appendages on is factory glue. Whether this is intentional by design (since a lot of the original Strikers tended to break at the hips) or an oversight, it pisses me off because somewhere, some child's day (not to mention his hard earned allowance) is going to be ruined by this, and for an "ultimate" figure, I really feel this is unacceptable, especially considering how GOOD some of the recent ultimate figures have been (in particular, the Terminator series.) Not to mention how much we pay for these damn things already. So...i.e. if the glue that they used to seal the figure's legs on the body is bad, then your figure will fall apart before you even have a change to enjoy it. While there isn't much articulation there, I strongly advice folks to NOT try to kick the legs out to the side in any fashion, and stick with simple forward and backward motions, and above all else, handle the legs with EXTREME care. I've contacted NECA about the situation, and all they told me was to send another email to their customer service department using that horrible form on their website. I'm gonna keep fighting them on this in hopes of getting this figure replaced. Right now Striker only stands on my shelf simply because I happened to have a tube of Gorilla Glue lying around, which so far, is holding up better than whatever the crap was that NECA used to build it...

Hey, sorry to see that you have problem with your Striker Eureka. I have one, and it's fine, but you're right, that does not excuse what happened to you. Hopefully NECA will replace it, if not, get yourself a tube of "Loctite Super Glue Plastics Bonding System with Activator", that stuff is MAGIC! You can find that on Amazon or eBay. The stuff bonds VERY strong on toy plastics. For toy people like us, it's just good to have in general.
