NECA ULTIMATE LADY DANGER - Figure Review

This review has been edited from its original version. It has been reformatted for culturally sensitive reasons.

Well, here we are. The final release in NECA's Pacific Rim figure line. It's another Lady Danger, an 'Ultimate' Lady Danger, with added articulation, extra accessories and a neat little light up feature.

The Ultimate Lady Danger has a very impressive sculpt with some great added details. I'm noticing this Danger is painted with a bolder blue than some of the other ones, there are also some black smudges scattered around the figure giving it a more battle-worn appearance.
The inner workings of Danger are painted a gun metal black, and there are some nicely painted red and white stripes all around.
The majority of the details are great, but one thing kinda bugs me. Ultimate Striker Eureka had it's emblem painted on, but Ultimate Lady Danger doesn't get it's emblem painted on? No matter what Lady Danger figure you buy, it will always be stuck with just a red dot by it's right shoulder where there should be a pin-up girl with a large machine gun.

Moving on to the Articulation, Lady's head can be moved left and right, despite being a bit stiff.
Arms can rotate and can move out at the shoulders, the biceps and forearms can rotate. And the hands can rotate and move around a little bit.
There is some waist movement too, Lady can lean left and right, but only slightly forward and backward. He can also rotate at the waist.

The Legs can move forward and backward, feature double jointed knees and the feet can rotate and pivot.
All of the Lady Danger figures I've ever bought has a problem with trying to stand up without falling over, I've always had to buy figure stands from Hobby Lobby to display them on my shelf. However, this Lady seems to stand up better than the others without the use of a figure stand and that makes me very happy.

Ultimate Lady Danger comes with many accessories. A pair of Chain Swords, Plasma Cannons, open hands, closed hands and a Reactor Blast piece. All of which look great and present a great deal of possibilities for poses. 

Fun Fact: My Lady actually came with 2 right closed hands. I would be disappointed by this if I didn't have a spare left hand from one of the other Lady Danger figures I own.

Under the left armpit is a button that activates the light up feature which looks really cool, especially in the dark!

Like with Ultimate Striker Eureka, I have to give the utmost praise to the fantastic packaging. The use of movie posters for the front and back, the blueprints and the window packaging looking like something out of the Shatterdome, it's all AWESOME!

With all that said, should you get this figure? YES! Of all the Lady Danger figures to come out, this is by far, the definitive version of this Jaeger. Pick it up if you can get your hands on it.


Well, that's it. The last figure in the NECA Pacific Rim figure line. It was a fun ride to be on and I will miss it. While I am disappointed that we wont get to see figures of Raiju or Slattern or maybe an Ultimate Crimson Typhoon, I do like the fact that NECA was able to release so many well made figures based on some of the most popular Jaeger/Kaiju characters, as well as some of the more obscure ones.

It has been said that the license for the toy rights may fall back into their hands when Pacific Rim 2 comes out. We shall see, but for now, I will continue to sit and admire my collection as it is.

Till next time, I have been your host Gryphon

and I hope you've enjoyed your time here in my lair.

So long...
