Cherno Alpha (18 inch edition)

Cherno Alpha is an "18 Inch Series" Pacific Rim action figure developed by NECA. Originally slated for a September 2014 release, the figure was delayed and instead shipped in November 2014.^[2] This series also includes Gipsy Danger, Knifehead, Battle-Damaged Gipsy Danger and Striker Eureka.

Official Description[]

"The second Jaeger to receive the 18″ deluxe treatment, the massive mech Cherno Alpha features even more detail than its 7″ counterpart. Created directly from the digital files used by ILM in the making of Pacific Rim, and then further detailed by our top sculptors and fabricators, Cherno looks just like it did on screen. Loaded with detail, realistic weathering, over 20 points of articulation and LED lights in the head to re-create the effects seen in the movie. It even features sliding fists! This figure is massive and can now join the fight to save humanity alongside 18″ Gipsy Danger."

Articulation[]

This figure has a similar degree of articulation to the 7" version, being effectively a scaled-up edition. Ball joints are present on the head, shoulders, thighs and feet with hinges on the elbows and knees. Both hands feature hinged fingers - excluding the thumb, with the other three moving as a single piece - while each forearm is set on a slider to duplicate Cherno Alpha's signature move.^[3]
