Udon Brings New Mega Man Pins to San Diego Comic-Con

Udon Entertainment is bringing a whole lot of Mega Man pins to San Diego Comic-Con later this week, available exclusively at booth #100.

The lineup includes a series of seven Metall pins, Mega Man Legends “Petite Fighter” pins, and perhaps most interesting of all, a selection of classic series pins featuring brand-new artwork by Keisuke Mizuno. Mizuno’s Bass is especially nice to see, since he doesn’t draw him very often.

The majority of the pins will be priced at $15 each. You can see what all of the pins look like here. 

Udon Teases Archie Mega Man Comic Revival with Mysterious “56”

Udon Entertainment appears to be teasing a long-awaited continuation of Archie Comics’ Mega Man series.

Director of Publishing Matt Moylan tweeted an image featuring the number “56” presented in the traditional Mega Man stage-select style, along with the message, “Announcement coming at San Diego Comic-Con.” The implication seems fairly clear: Archie’s original series ended with issue #55, and Udon may be preparing to pick things up with a brand-new issue #56.

Nothing has been formally announced yet, but this would continue Udon’s ongoing efforts to bring Archie’s Mega Man comics back. The publisher is already reprinting the series under the new Mega Man Adventures label, which also includes new material from members of the original creative team.

Archie’s Mega Man came to an abrupt end in 2015, leaving several storylines unfinished. Fans have spent more than a decade hoping the series might someday return. 

We’ll learn more at Comic-Con!

MDLX Black Zero Revealed, ACGHK and ChinaJoy 2026 Exclusive

Threezero has announced an MDLX Black Zero figure, but much to the disappointment of many collectors, its release will be extremely limited.

According to Threezero, the figure will be available in limited quantities at ACGHK 2026 and ChinaJoy 2026 on a first-come, first-served basis. At this time, there are no plans for a wider release, nor any indication that the figure will appear at events more accessible to fans in other regions.

Accessories include a Black Zero Buster forearm, two interchangeable faceplates and three pairs of interchangeable hands. Alongside his signature Z-Saber, Mega Man X5-style blades and Z-Saber effect part, the set also includes two blades based on Zero’s appearance in Mega Man X6.

We’ll keep you posted if anything changes down the line.

Kotobukiya Zero 1st Ver. Limited Edition Revealed (Updated)

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. UPDATE: Big Bad Toystore pre-orders are open!

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.
