The premium diecast action figure line from Infinity Studio’s Pacific Rim collection has finally come full circle. After several years of releases beginning with Crimson Typhoon, the final entry in the lineup Striker Eureka is now scheduled for release. Set for Q4 2026, the Heavy Mecha Striker Eureka will be sold at 1380 RMB.
Interestingly, of all times for its release, Striker Eureka arrives during a period of RMB appreciation. Despite sharing the same MSRP as Crimson Typhoon, this effectively makes it around 20% more expensive. Had it been released earlier, I might have been more inclined to keep my Crimson Typhoon, as both are among my favorite Jaegers from Pacific Rim.Design-wise, Striker Eureka has always been my personal favorite, sleek, advanced, and billed as the most powerful Jaeger, even if this Australian Jaeger ultimately had to give way to the franchise’s poster machine, Gipsy Danger. Despite that, it still gets its moment of glory in spectacular fashion.
There’s also a personal design resonance here: I’ve always felt traces of the Bolinoak Sammahn from Zeta Gundam in Striker Eureka’s silhouette, as if the Jaeger represents a more fully realized evolution of that aesthetic lineage.
