Kotobukiya Mega Man 11 Oshi Works Figures Revealed

Kotobukiya has revealed a new Mega Man 11 figure line under its Oshi Works label, with Mega Man, Roll, Dr. Light, and Dr. Wily planned as part of a coordinated set running through early 2027.

The Oshi Works line is geared toward display rather than play, with each figure standing between 7.1 and 8.66 inches tall with no articulation. The focus here seems to be on presentation, with detailed paintwork and clear parts used to better highlight each character. Another nice touch is the use of magnets, letting you secure and reposition the figures to better suit your display.

Pre-orders are available here:

• Mega Man
• Roll
• Dr. Light & Dr. Wily Set

Mega Man kicks off the line in November 2026, followed by Roll in December 2026. Dr. Light and Dr. Wily are both slated for January 2027.

Mega Man Producer Shingo Izumi Wants to Alternate Between New Games and Collections

Following Kazuhiro Tsuchiya’s departure in 2022, Shingo Izumi has taken on a larger role in guiding Mega Man's future as the franchise's new lead producer. With Star Force Legacy Collection out the door and Dual Override still in development, the immediate roadmap is clear. 

But in a new interview with 80 Level, Izumi also spoke a bit about how Capcom is thinking about the series as it approaches its 40th anniversary.

With Mega Man approaching its 40th anniversary, how do you see the franchise evolving? What role do projects like Legacy Collections play in shaping its future alongside new titles?

Shingo Izumi: We intend to continue expanding the fan base while carefully preserving the appeal and value of the brand and pursuing new challenges. Our immediate focus is to ensure the success of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and Mega Man: Dual Override, and to build a strong foundation that connects to the future.

At the same time, we believe that collection titles play a significant role in revitalizing a brand, while also serving an important purpose in preserving and passing down game culture as part of its historical legacy. Ideally, we would like to release new titles and collection titles consistently, alternating between the two over time.

Izumi's interest in alternating between new titles and collections may offer the clearest hint yet at what Capcom wants Mega Man's release cadence to look like going forward. If they can follow through, that kind of consistency would go a long way toward supporting its goal of growing the series into a core IP. While the current “evergreen” approach has helped sustain the franchise in recent years, the demand for new games sooner rather than later is clear.

First Mega Man: Dual Override Goods Coming in October

Capcom quietly dropped pre-orders for three new pieces of Dual Override merchandise on E-Capcom this morning, all based on the game’s key art. Interestingly, some of the items feature a less-cropped version of the illustration, giving us a clearer look at Mega Man’s Mega Buster and lower body.

The lineup includes a muffler towel, an NFC-enabled keychain that unlocks AR content when scanned with a phone, letting fans take photos with Mega Man and listen to a looping piece of music from Dual Override, and a simple tote bag that looks well-suited for travel.

All three items are currently slated to ship on October 15 and, for now, appear to be exclusive to Japan.

Shingo Izumi Says Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Success Could Inspire Star Force 4

Mega Man producer Shingo Izumi has shed a little more light on why Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection came together, and what its success could mean for the future of the series.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Sonia and Luna DLC Pack Arrives Tomorrow

For one reason or another, Capcom does not seem eager for fans to know that Luna Platz and Sonia Strumm can be selected as main menu navigators in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. Earlier this month, they asked us to remove footage of the two in action and also requested that certain Japanese news sites strip out references to them.

Now, with the game launching very soon, it looks like Capcom is finally preparing to make it official. A DLC pack for Luna and Sonia has appeared on the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop, where its listed for release on March 27th at 300 yen. The pack is not currently visible on English storefronts, but chances are good it will show up sometime tomorrow.

As previously reported, Luna and Sonia feature commentary on the main menu performed by their original English and Japanese voice actors. Players can swap between them at any time with the press of a button. Other previously confirmed menu navigators include Geo in his everyday clothes and Omega-Xis.

Mega Man Festival Begins in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

In case you missed it, the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Mega Man DLC Pack is now available, bringing both Mega Man and Proto Man to the track. To celebrate, CrossWorlds is hosting a limited-time "Mega Man Festival" this weekend, running from March 26 at 8:00 PM ET through March 29 at 7:59 PM ET.

By taking part in the event, players can earn Festival Points and redeem them for a batch of Mega Man-themed goodies, including the Blue Flash title card, decals, a themed horn effect, and the new Item Buster Kit Gadget (pictured above). 

These rewards could potentially be offered again down the line, but for now, this weekend’s event is the only way to grab them.

Blokees Teases Mega Man X Figures

The previously announced Mega Man Star Force and Mega Man Zero Blokees made another appearance at the 2026 BLOKEES Global Partners Conference. While no new information was shared on either figure, Blokees also casually confirmed that Mega Man X Blokees are in production, with the series logo and a simple “coming soon” displayed at the event.

No other details were revealed, so here’s hoping we won’t have to wait too long to hear more.

Dr. Wily is Getting His Own One-Shot From Udon This Summer

Dr. Wily will headline his own standalone story, written by Tavis Maiden with artwork by Ryan Jampole, Udon Entertainment has confirmed. 

Here's the official solicitation:

Dr. Albert Wily, the (self-proclaimed) world's greatest scientist stars in his own 1-shot adventure! Dr. Wily's ultimate scheme is about to be revealed, with only one thing standing in his way... the annoyingly "heroic" robot known as Mega Man!

Cover A comes from Ryan Jampole, with Cover B by Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz and Cover C by Tavis Maiden. Rounding things out, Cover D—Udon’s first-ever Mega Man “swimsuit” cover—is illustrated by Andrew Dickman.

If that doesn’t get your gears turning, this might: Udon tells me this one-shot serves as a prelude to a new, currently unannounced classic Mega Man mini-series set after Mega Man Timelines #1. More details on that front in the near future.

Dr. Wily #1 s currently scheduled to hit stores on June 17, 2026.
