Nothing NECA makes is meant to be played with.

BTW, can someone relay the story behind why NECA decided to re-make some of their earlier Pacific Rim figures? Didn't it have something to do with cheapening the line down for a possible Walmart retail release that got pulled at the last second or something? Because there's a huge increase in quality in the later waves.

CHERNO ALPHA! The pilots both look like Ivan Drago from Rocky IV and it has piston fists!

I know they re-released Crimson Typhoon and Striker v1 because they were going for ludicrous prices on the second market. Series 1 and 2 were supposedly made with the intention of getting stores like Target and Walmart in on it hence those first two waves were full of stinkers (I do like Leatherback but I got mine from the two pack). For one reason or another the stores eventually backed out of the deal and so we can see a clear quality gap going from series 2 to 3 which brought the awesome with Cherno and Coyote Tango.
