Review: #466
Name: Guardian Bravo
Brand: Robot Damashii (Pacific Rim Uprising - Side Jaeger)
Year of Release: 2018
Variations: none
FIGURE:
Guardian Bravo is a Jaeger (aka giant robot) from the film Pacific Rim Uprising.
Its color scheme is predominantly white and red, and that coloring is primarily provided by the natural plastic coloring. There's not much paint on this figure.
Despite that, there are plenty of sculpted detailing. Unfortunately, Guardian Bravo lacks a sense of scale.
The head is on a balljoint and the small visor is painted in a metallic blue.
One thing the Pacific Rim Uprising figures has over the older ones is their expanded range of articulation.
Guardian Bravo has double hinges for the knees and elbows, with balljointed shoulders, wrists, head, hips and ankles.
As a quick comparison with Gipsy Danger, you can see that despite remaining at a similar price, Guardian Bravo is much smaller than the original NECA Pacific Rim figures.
Guardian Bravo comes with two electric whips and a pair of alternate hands (open palmed).
To use the whips, you just easily slot them into his fists.
Swapping hands requires you to pop it out at the wrists and then pop the other one in. Unfortunately, whether it is due to this or just from the design, the balljoints feels loose and weak.
The whips are comprised of soft flexible plastic, which is great as this prevents breakage.
Guardian Bravo is the shortest out of all the other Jaegers, which is somewhat to scale as shown in the movie.
Despite the superior articulation, the feet are still somewhat restricted as the ankles don't allow him to stand flat in really dynamic poses.
A solidly built figure that's movie accurate as well as being extremely poseable.
OVERALL:
Guardian Bravo is a great toy and looks really nice in hand. He is a bit pricey but the build quality is high. His electric whips are cool and complements the rest of the cast well.
