Consider the merch wheel officially spinning for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Pacific Rim monster mash. On tap right now is a sneak peek at the upcoming mobile game, which hits this summer, as well as a first look at NECA’s Knifehead action figure from their forthcoming Pacific Rim line.
Gotta say we love the Knifehead, especially since it’s an obvious loving riff on the Guiron creature from the fifth classic Gamera movie, Gamera vs. Guiron. Check out all the goods below, and look for more on each of these products soon!

Synopsis
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes–a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)–who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
