MODEROID Adds Pacific Rim's Cherno Alpha As 22 cm Kit
Cherno Alpha is a Jaeger with almost no merchandise shelf presence, so a MODEROID kit aimed at both assemblers and painters gives Pacific Rim's least colorful machine a place in the standard model-kit channel.

Good Smile Company's MODEROID line is taking preorders for a plastic model kit of Cherno Alpha from Pacific Rim. The kit is about 22 cm tall with movable joints and interchangeable hands, and its exterior is modeled on the film's 3DCG. Swapping parts lets the arm punch sit extended or retracted. Clear parts come in pre-painted and unpainted versions, and molding colors, pre-painted parts and decals reproduce a color scheme close to the film's. The reference price is 8,900 yen; Rakuten Books lists it at 7,396 yen with tax.
The kit stands about 22 cm tall, and the exterior shape is reproduced from the film's 3DCG rather than drawn from scratch. Good Smile Company lists a reference price of 8,900 yen; the Rakuten Books sale price is 7,396 yen with tax included.
Buyers who want to paint get a choice: the clear parts ship in pre-painted and unpainted versions. The photos on the listing are of a painted sample, and the listing warns some specifications may differ from the finished product.
