The Complete List of Rockman Garage Kits at Summer Wonder Festival 2025

Wonder Festival returned over the weekend for its annual summer event, bringing a fresh batch of Rockman garage kits. For the uninitiated, WonderFest is a Japan-based event where creators obtain one-day licenses to sell copyrighted fan works—mainly garage kits. Due to Japan’s copyright laws, these are sold in person only, though they often surface on the secondary market for a hefty pile of zenny. A few kits returned from the 2025 Winter show (which you can check out here), but there were some exciting new offerings too. Let’s take a look at what was up for grabs!


First up we have Rainbow Devil that is 3D printed in two ways, either with a rainbow look or one with an LED powered head. As well, ZX fans can enjoy the Model H, and while it wasn't for sale, the vendor showed off a future Model F project. (https://x.com/Anonym095435)


Next up we have two classic Metal Man and Cut Man. Both of these come with cool expressive faces, and draw from the Rockman 11 style. (https://x.com/tvOJNprnmkksrid)



Harness your energy and learn to throw fireballs! Martial artist Dr. Light, complete with two dynamic poses, made an appearance—and if the Ryu cosplay isn’t your thing, a more traditional version of Dr. Light with a capsule was also available. A fully poseable Super Forte was up for grabs too, seemingly scaled to match Kotobukiya’s Rockman kits. And with all the new Jada Toys hitting shelves, now’s the perfect time to keep an eye out for Dr. Wily’s ultimate form: the alien—sized to fit right in with the Jada lineup. (https://x.com/hyo_up)


For all you Rockman World 5 fans out there, Terra is here! Look at that hair; it’s fabulous! Joining him are Shooting Star Rockman in his SSR3 style, and a Shadow Style EXE! (https://x.com/maskedrider666)


DiVE
inspired Alia drops in as a statue figure, rocking a DiVE pose and her X8 design. As well Iris is here in her Xtreme 2 look, and based on the SE DiVE Ver art. (https://x.com/Tony_0210)


On the smaller side, we have a Drache airship from Rockman DASH,  and a collection of figures that are1/144 scale. (https://x.com/figgeeks)


And finally, we have a follow up from Winter. Harpiua dropped, and his brother and sister join him now as a Fighting Fefnir and Fairy Leviathan join in. Perhaps we’ll see Phantom next year (https://x.com/zu_mame)

That’s a wrap for this round of Rockman goods at the show. If you’ve got the zenny, many of these kits turn up on the secondary market—typically via Yahoo Auctions Japan, Buyee, or your proxy of choice. Just keep in mind: these come unpainted and require far more work than your typical snap-together kits from Kotobukiya. You’ll need to drill joints, sand extensively, and clean off mold release. Happy hunting!

  1. I feel like I willed Jada Alien into existence the other day. Shotokan Light is hilarious.

  2. An Alien figure in 2025 was NOT on my bingo card but I'm not complaining

  3. Neat. Too bad it's usually way too expensive for me.

  4. They sure make Alia good looking in X8. Probably to reflect the passage of time and thus maturity. Unlike 20XX robots like the ever-infantile-minded Rock, reploids can truly mature both in changing the body and getting wiser.

    1. Been waiting for Kotobukiya to take on Alia... They are taking their sweet time. If they didn't drop the line altogether... They had many prototypes from SDCC and from what I saw on Youtube they didn't have Rockman in the booth at all...

    2. I prefer X5-X7 Alia, and especially the X6 flashback design. That figure is still great, though.
