I was hesitant because of her price but I am really glad I caved and got it. Reckoning nobody else makes Pacific Rim toys and her size compared to an SH figure at this price range, Otachi is overall worth it. My biggest issue with the price comes from comparing her to another NECA product though, the 24 inch Godzilla was around the same price and is easily the bigger of the two figures (plus he has a sound gimmick).

yeah, FYE will probably have it in stock, and i'm sure both of the comic book shops near me will get them in.

as for the price, i agree with you.. i feel like it's not all that much bigger than their standard kaiju figures. definitely not big enough to warrant the price.. now, if it had included an extra set of winged arms.. THAT would be awesome and totally worth the price. maybe it's the accessories that added to the price, or perhaps they were added to justify the price, who knows. i mean, it's not an astronomical price, it's just a tad too much when compared to the other figures in the line.

i sort of have one foot in with the pacific rim figures and one foot out.. i have a few of them, but not all of them. so, unless i win the lottery, i'll probably wind up skipping this one and put that money towards something else. it sucks though cause i really think it looks fantastic, definitely their best looking kaiju thus far.
