Another Look at Kotobukiya Decoction Fourth Armor X

Back in February, Kotobukiya finally pulled back the curtain on the mysterious silhouette that had been teasing fans for the past couple of years. In a reveal few saw coming, the company unveiled a brand-new, large-scale Fourth Armor X kit for its premium Decoction line. 

Now, to coincide with the Shizuoka Hobby Show, Kotobukiya has shared two crisp high-resolution images of the prototype mold, giving us a better look at the kit. That said, finer details like pricing and a release window are still being kept under wraps.

More details as they become available!

Mega Man Showdown Special Now Available on Udon Store, Mega May Promos

Udon Entertainment’s annual “MEGA MAY” promotion officially begins today at 9AM PT. 

Fans who place orders via Udon Store totaling $80 USD or more on Mega Man comics, books, and merchandise will receive an exclusive gold Proto Man metal card added during fulfillment. As with previous years, the promotion does not stack, meaning only one card will be included per order.

Also going live today is Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz’s Udon Store Exclusive cover for Mega Man Showdown Special #1, the previously Free Comic Book Day-exclusive issue. Chamba’s artwork puts the Battle Network cast front and center, spotlighting the brand-new original short story featured in the issue.

Officially-Licensed Mega Man Gaming Watch Announced

Need more Mega Man 2 in your life? Look no further, friend. Capcom has teamed up with My Play Watch to release an official digital gaming watch that includes a "reimagined" version of Mega Man 2 adapted for one-hand play. 

The watch includes a few different ways to play. Classic Mode lets you pick from multiple Robot Master stages, take down bosses, etc. Arcade Mode strings stages together with increasing speed and difficulty, with a scoring system as the main hook. There’s also Play Time Mode, which is less “game” and more animated Mega Man watch faces, complete with pixel art and themed displays.

Beyond Mega Man 2, it does the usual digital watch things too: time keeping, step tracking, heart rate monitoring, and calories. There’s no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi, no notifications, and no apps so if you're looking to replace your smartwatch with this, maybe don't.

The watch is currently available to pre-order exclusively from GameStop for $79.99. It's expected to ship on June 16th.

Mega Man Showdown Special #1 Preview Pages

In case you haven’t heard, Udon is celebrating Free Comic Book Day this year with Mega Man Showdown Special #1, a one-shot issue that pits Proto Man against Bass in a one-on-one brawl. The comic will also include a Battle Network bonus short story.

To whet your appetite, writer Daniel Arseneault has shared a pair of preview pages from the issue, along with the following tease:

“Set during Mega Man 7, Dr. Light is repairing the recently damaged Bass that Mega Man found, but what is Bass really planning? Will Proto Man be able to stop him?”

Free Comic Book Day takes place Saturday, May 2nd, at participating comic shops and libraries.

X-Plus Gigantic Series Roll Reissue Announced

Earlier this month, X-Plus announced plans to reissue its Gigantic Series Rockman figure. Now, Roll is joining him, with a reissue of the 11.8 inch figure planned for release in August.

Reservations are coming soon, with an expected 16,500 yen price tag (or roughly $103 USD). The figure appears to be the same as its original 2016 release, though like the Rockman reissue, this version of Roll seems to include a chibi accessory.

We'll keep an eye out for pre-orders!

Mega Man Xtreme Gets Enhanced Fan-Remake for PC

While Mega Man Xtreme still hasn’t received a proper modern port through a Legacy Collection, fans of the Game Boy Color title now have something pretty close to celebrate.

Tommycase has released Mega Man DXtreme, an enhanced PC revamp of Mega Man Xtreme by CX2 Team with improved controls, widescreen support, a reimagined story, new graphics, and several other upgrades. You can see it in action in the trailer above!

You can download the full game from Tommycase’s itch.io page here. A browser version is also available.

Rare Rockman X3 Book Scanned, Artwork Preserved

In 1996, Capcom and Nagaoka Shoten published a Rockman X3 pop-up book exclusively in Japan, adapting the game into a hands-on craft book where young readers could assemble scenes from the game.

While a neat collectible in its own right, the book has long been sought after by fans because it contains original cel-painted artwork not seen in any other X3 media. It also hasn’t been reprinted anywhere else.

Now, for the first time, the book’s contents have been preserved thanks to Epsilon1234. All 48 pages, along with the accompanying artwork, can be viewed on the Internet Archive across two uploads: scans of the 21 artwork pages and photographs of the full book, including the non-art pages.

And if you have a high-quality printer, you could even try printing the individual pages and assembling the dioramas yourself. If not, there’s still plenty of great pieces here to enjoy.
