Pacific Rim Featurette - Kaiju

The one specific thing the PACIFIC RIM film will do - at the very least - is to introduce the term "kaiju" to the un-initiated masses, and I am down with that. Will it cause a surge in interest for "kaiju" post-film? Perhaps. Will it cause a surge in sales of kaiju-related toys? Perhaps the NECA-produced figures (take not that "Knifehead" from the first release is the short-pack of the trio!) would gain traction, but that's about it. Now if there was a sequel to be had afters? hhhmmm

Meanwhile, the kaiju are getting their spotlight in the promotional-"sun", with these poster images found on the PR-Facebook:


STRIKER EUREKA versus LEATHERBACK

OTACHI versus GIPSY DANGER
