Discover Crimson Typhoon, one of the most recognisable Jaegers from *Pacific Rim*, with this MODEROID model kit from Good Smile Company. Once assembled, the model measures approximately 20 cm and faithfully reproduces the distinctive silhouette of the famous Chinese Jaeger, particularly its three-armed configuration. Its design was developed using 3DCG data from the film to accurately capture its proportions and mechanical details.
The model is fully articulated and includes several interchangeable parts, allowing you to recreate its various combat configurations. In particular, the right wrists can be displayed in their normal position or in their rotated state using replacement parts, whilst the left arm can be reconfigured to replicate its deployed mode. Interchangeable hands are also included.
The kit utilises different colours of plastic, pre-painted parts, transparent elements and decals to achieve a finish close to the film’s appearance without requiring a full paint job. Unpainted transparent parts are also provided for modellers wishing to further customise their model.

Character background and universe (Lore)
Crimson Typhoon is a fourth-generation Jaeger built to defend China in the Pacific Rim universe. It stands out immediately from other machines in the Jaeger programme due to its unusual three-armed configuration, designed to enable it to execute rapid successive close-quarters attacks.
Piloted by the three Wei brothers, Crimson Typhoon utilises a system requiring three pilots synchronised in the Drift. This unique feature enables it to execute complex combat techniques, notably the ‘Thundercloud Formation’, which relies on the rapid, rotational movements of its arms.
In *Pacific Rim*, the Crimson Typhoon is deployed alongside the Cherno Alpha and the Striker Eureka to defend Hong Kong against a Kaiju attack. Its distinctive red design, three arms and spectacular fighting style make it one of the most easily recognisable Jaegers in the film.
