Kotobukiya Zero 1st Ver. Limited Edition Revealed

Kotobukiya is bringing back Zero 1st Version with a fresh coat of paint — literally.

This new Limited Edition release swaps the original colors for pearlescent and metallic finishes, recreating Zero’s charged-up appearance. To complete the look, the kit also includes an all-new Spiral Crush Buster effect part, which Kotobukiya touts as the largest effect part in its Mega Man X model kit lineup to date.

That’s not all. The included face parts feature newly adjusted eye directions, offering a little more variety for posing. The leg joints have also been updated, with two sets included in the box. These can be used to upgrade Mega Man X Zero, Zero Nightmare Ver., and Black Zero kits.

Zero 1st Version Limited Edition is expected to ship in January 2027. Pre-orders are currently available directly from Kotobukiya, with additional retailers likely to follow soon.

Udon's Dr. Wily #1 Delayed to August 5th

Originally scheduled to arrive at comic shops this week, Udon Entertainment’s standalone Dr. Wily #1 issue has been delayed to Wednesday, August 5th. The update comes via Udon’s official Discord channel.

As a refresher, 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!

Pre-orders for Dr. Wily #1 are still available through the Udon Store, so you’ve got a little extra time to secure your copy.

Kotobukiya Grande Scale Mega Man Revealed (Updated)

After last week's teaser, Kotobukiya has officially revealed their next Grande Scale model kit: Mega Man from Mega Man 11.

Much like Kotobukiya's previous Grande Scale releases, this is essentially the standard Mega Man 11 kit scaled up. Once built, it stands an impressive 250mm tall — about 9.8 inches — and includes the same articulation, accessories, and interchangeable parts as the original release.

The kit is expected to ship in November. Pre-orders begin today directly through Kotobukiya, with other retailers likely to follow shortly. We'll keep you posted as those listings go live. UPDATE: Up at Hobby Link Japan and Big Bad Toystore.

Mattson Tomlin Says He’s No Longer Involved With Live Action Mega Man Movie

The long-in-development live action Mega Man movie has received a rare update, though not a definitive one. Screenwriter Mattson Tomlin, who was reportedly attached to the project, recently responded to a fan asking whether the script was still moving forward or had been quietly cancelled.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Official Soundtrack Now Available on Steam

Capcom has added the official Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Original Soundtrack to Steam as a standalone digital purchase.

Available for $29.99, the release packs in 121 tracks across four discs in both FLAC and MP3 formats. While Steam can play the music directly through its built-in music player, the files can also be moved and used outside the client.

The bulk of the soundtrack is dedicated to the Kizuna Re:mix arrangements featured throughout the collection, covering all three games. The remaining pieces includes music made for the collection’s menus, tracks tied to the Geo and Omega-Xis model pack DLC, and the “Shooting Star” remix heard in the game’s promo trailers.

It's also worth pointing out that, unfortunately, the original Nintendo DS versions of the Star Force tracks are not included, and neither is the separate Battle Network music DLC.

Hiya Toys Wants Your Pick for Its Next High-End Mega Man Figure

Hiya Toys is asking Mega Man fans who they’d like to see join the company’s figure lineup next.

A new survey is now live, letting fans vote for their most-wanted character from across the franchise. The current choices include characters from the classic, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man X, and Battle Network series. Every one who votes gets entered into a raffile to win a Exquisite Series X figure.

Kotobukiya Possibly Teasing Dual Override or Grande Scale Mega Man Kit

Kotobukiya appears to be teasing a new Mega Man kit on Twitter, and the image above points to one especially notable detail: a significantly larger Mega Buster compared to the standard-sized one included with their previously released Mega Man 11 model kit.

At first glance, this could simply be teasing a larger classic Mega Man kit, possibly even a “Grande Scale” version of Mega Man 11 Mega Man. But with the Mega Buster noticeably larger in the key art for Dual Override, it’s hard not to wonder if Kotobukiya is hinting at something tied to the new game.

Whatever Kotobukiya is teasing here, the wording of their tweet makes it sound like pre-orders may be opening sooner than later. We’ll keep an eye out for the official reveal.

Rumor: Mega Man May Be Coming to Fortnite

After appearing in several Fortnite surveys over the years, Mega Man may finally be headed to Epic Games’ battle royale, if a new rumor pans out.

According to HYPEX, Fortnite leak sources SpushFNBR and Wensoing have reported that a Mega Man collaboration is currently “in the works.” Both are active in the Fortnite leak scene and have a history of accurately reporting upcoming content, though leaks like this often come from datamines, backend updates, or early shop-related information.

At this time, there’s no word on which version of Mega Man would appear. The classic series feels like the obvious choice, especially with Dual Override on the horizon. A Fortnite collaboration would also fit neatly into Capcom’s broader push to expand Mega Man’s visibility and introduce the IP to a wider audience.

As always, take this with a grain of salt until Epic Games or Capcom make it official. That said, Fortnite has already featured several Capcom collaborations, including Street Fighter and Resident Evil. Mega Man joining the lineup wouldn’t be too far-fetched.

We’ll keep an eye out for more details.
