Definitely need to pick up Gypsy Avenger and Obsidian Fury. Not sure on the rest. Do wish that a better articulated to scale Scrapper was made. The movie was a fun ride and setup fuel for an even more action filled third one.
Gotta admit I enjoyed Scrapper a heck of a lot more than I expected. So much heart in that tiny little bot, especially with how earnest the pilots of it were. As a support Jaeger, it was freaking brilliant.
Obsidian Fury I kind of wish had some more action screen time too. That design was awesome and I hope leads to some reconfigurations for Avenger in the third film to finally give the Gypsy Jaeger series dual swords.
While the sequel was a bit of a crisper pace than the first one, gotta admit what they packed in did have a lot of nice impact and homages all around, and some nice parallels in new ways. Where the first one was more about stepping out of retirement and last stands to go out swinging, this one was much more rising to the occasion and forging a new legend ready to carry the fight to the enemy.
I really like where the films and designs are going, and even the toys reflect that well. The first movie being more "dirty and brushing the debris off your shoulders" reflected in both the grittiness of the toys with battle damaged versions and the ship club one came with, to this film feeling more bright and hopeful, cleaner/cleaning up ones act to how the toys are a little brighter and cleaner and more agile. Very night and day like how the films are very night and day.
Very cool in comparison. Wonder what movie 3/toy series 3 will do to compliment the previous two and pull in the best of both.
