Seriously, there are some movies this year that aren\u2019t Avengers\u2019 related. One of them is Pacific Rim: Uprising. Pacific Rim: Uprising is the highly anticipated sequel to the hit Pacific Rim. Another thing I am anticipating are the toys from this giant robot vs. monster epic. And for this we turn to Diamond Select Toys.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The first one we had the pleasure to review is the Saber Athena figure. Standing approximately 8 inches tall with 16 points of articulation this is the coolest Jaeger to date (sorry Gipsy). Since I don\u2019t know anything about the movie (that I can say) I don\u2019t know who pilots this beauty or what significance she has to the story but damn., this is one fine looking bot.<\/p>\n<p>Saber Athena is fully poseable with articulation points at:<br \/>\n\u2022 Head<br \/>\n\u2022 Chest<br \/>\n\u2022 Shoulders<br \/>\n\u2022 Elbows<br \/>\n\u2022 Wrists (Closed fists and Open Hands included)<br \/>\n\u2022 Hips<br \/>\n\u2022 Knees<br \/>\n\u2022 Ankles<\/p>\n<p>Saber Athena also comes with dual katanas and a long sword.<br \/>\nDiamond Select Toys has really done it again with this great looking figure. She was sculpted by BigShot ToyWorks and she is amazing. The good thing is, Saber Athena is the first figure in the line that also includes Gipsy Avenger and Bracer Phoenix. I have never been disappointed by anything from DST and this is no exception. I do feel the pegs that hold in the hands could be a smidge longer but it is a non-issue. The hands still do what you need them to do and stay attached.<\/p>\n<p>The Pacific Rim: Uprising line from Diamond Select is due out later this year and will retail for around 24.99. Keep an eye out for more reviews of the other figures in this incredible line. Get your Jaeger\u2019s together so you can cancel the apocalypse on a smaller scale.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17673 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17675'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7653-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17677'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7655-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17679'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7657-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17680'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7658-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17681'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7659-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17682'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7660-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17683'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7661-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17684'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7664-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17685'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7665-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17686'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7666-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/?attachment_id=17687'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/geekstronomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN7667-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Pacific Rim: Uprising figures from Diamond Select Toys hit shelves soon.
