PACIFIC RIM (2013) - Chuck Hansen’s (Robert Kazinsky) Striker Eureka Jaeger Drivesuit
Chuck Hansen’s (Robert Kazinsky) Striker Eureka Jaeger Drivesuit from Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi adventure Pacific Rim. Hansen’s drivesuit was specifically designed for Hansen to wear when co-piloting the Striker Eureka Jaeger. Drivesuits for the film were designed by Kate Hawley and built by esteemed effects house Legacy Effects, with components of the suit digitally modelled to fit the actor exactly. This suit was designed to reflect the character’s Australian nationality and piloting role, with nozzles and gauges on the left where they would connect to the larger workings of the Jaeger. The drivesuit consists of a fabric body suit with urethane armour components. The neck, codpiece and back spine piece are all made of rubber, with the latter hiding the zip running down the back. The black spandex gloves feature circuit details and a top knuckle light, although these lights and those throughout the suit’s armour are no longer connected to a power source. The boots are trainers encased in a urethane shell, and the entire body is finished with a grey and green camouflage paint scheme featuring unique details, such as the bulldog decal and tally of Kaiju slain. The rear sections of the helmet detach via magnets to facilitate dressing, with the head lights still functional. The helmet’s side air nozzle was removed during production, and replacement production-made components have been installed. The suit includes costume elements named for both Robert Kazinsky and his stunt double, as costume pieces were frequently mixed and matched between suits on set. The suit displays intentional distressing but the components overall remain in good condition. The suit is presented on a custom-made mannequin. Dimensions (displayed): 36 cm x 66 cm x185 cm (14" x 26" x 73") As this item contains electronic components, every effort has been made to describe them accurately; however no guarantee or warranty is made as to functionality, lifespan or safety of those components.
