Kotobukiya Japan dropped a cheeky tease on Twitter, posting a picture of an iron pipe accessory alongside the caption: “New info from the Rockman X plastic model series! At long last, a new product… the ‘Iron Pipe’ is getting a release!? It’s just an iron pipe, but as a plastic model… what could this mean!? Details will be revealed on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, so please look forward to it!”
So, why an iron pipe? Fans will recall that Zero wielded one during his very first encounter with Sigma in the events leading up to Mega Man X1. That makes this tease easy to read as either a nod to a potential pre-X1 Zero kit (with the pipe as an accessory) or as an add-on for the already-announced Sigma kit. But given that the tweet carefully described it as a new product the wording feels very deliberate.
Either way, the mystery won’t last long; we’ll know for sure in just a few days.
