Abandoned by Bandai, Once classic Mecha vs Kaiju series Pacific Rim got a second chance by an unlikely player which is Premium Statue Studio known as Infinity Studio. Having some High-end premium statue for both western movie and Japanese anime series, this Shanghai based hobby company decided to make a big break into Diecast Toys with Chinese Jaeger Crimson Typhoon as their first entry with luxury treatment of 30 Cm Diecast Robot. Scheduled for Q1 2024, Infinity Studio version of Crimson Typhoon will be sold for around 1400 RMB.
Based on the sample product, Infinity Studio Crimson Typhoon does look excellent in terms of Sculpt given the track record of their portfolio, the big question still lies on the Articulation considering their perceived lack of experience in this aspect. This will decide whether this product will be highly sought after or forgotten upon release. Crimson Typhoon is a natural first choice of this company with its China origin and many people quite like this Jaeger despite jobbing rather badly in the movie due to Hollywood practice that Non USA protagonist will not have the spotlight. Personally I am still waiting for Striker Eureka which remained my favorite but might dip in to encourage this company to be motivated into releasing the rest of Jaeger. I wonder if Bandai will going to make any counterattack on this move by Chinese company
