Guillermo del Toro's mecha versus kaiju movie Paicifc Rimstill has enthuiastic fans in Japan. Fuji TV recently announced plans to broadcast the movie on March 5th, and that was enough to unleash a storm on social media as fans repost their favorite tributes and jokes. And, plans are being made for more figures.

Last year, Max Factory and Good Smile Company announced plans for a 1/350 scale Gipsy Danger plastic model. While that one is still not scheduled, at the recent Wonder Festival Winter, they previewed a second, Cherno Alpha figure. Like its predecessor, the Russian mech will have a LED light gimmick.
