I know...shame on me right?



In all seriousness, this was the first Jaeger since Alpha Chernov where I had absolutely NO QC issues straight out of the package. Just a slight hair dryer treatment to his left arm (out of paranoia), and he was ready to go! He also had the tightest joints out of ANY of the prior Jaegers that I've picked up (and I have them all thus far...) and some of the best articulation yet in the line. While I still don't trust him to survive a dive off of my shelf, and I really hate the way his jointed elbows are assembled, I must say, this is one of the best NECA has put out yet!
They just look too cool. I got Tacit Ronin even after I'd heard all the negative remarks because I found the look itself to be way more positive. I might wind up getting Romeo too.

It seems more rotten luck many haven't been able to enjoy the line than it is the line being overall bad. Cherno Alpha is the best I have so far, don't have Romeo Blue and passed on the newest GD, and she was also perfect for me right out of the packaging. There is that weird thing where her hips aren't level, but she stands perfectly fine anyway. Coyote Tango loves to dive so I had to rearrange the hips, and like I said Tacit Ronin is one of my visually favorite jaeger figures, but is probably the weakest of the bunch. Tacit has a really weird anatomy to it, the legs have double knees but the lower joints are stuck even when I use the hair dryer trick. Combining that with the mostly useless hip joints as well as awkward feet and Tacit Ronin has a very hard time standing without a base. The arms are decent on mine at least, so I can get it into a nice blades out and turning body pose. Overall the Kaiju have been the much better half of this toyline, if only because they're big enough to have more durability. I am eager for Horizon Brave, but it is still a cautious optimism. On the other side, I have little concern Otachi will have any troubles when she comes out.
