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.
So...... Where's the sigma model kit? I assume this is a response to the threezero megaman x stuff but, i could be wrong. Though, if they made a ride armors model kit I wouldn't hate that either.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news. Potentially one of my most wanted designs!
ReplyDeleteCool news. I could use a new Zero model. Still waiting to see a colored Sigma.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit disappointed they seemed to have downgraded Sigma from the initial shown prototype. He looks less imposing now.
DeleteI'm gonna bonk Sigma over the head with the pipe like some goofy cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI'll be disappointed if it's just a pipe add on for zero with the sigma kit
ReplyDeleteI suppose it could just be Sigma going up for PO (it seems like a proper reveal while Sigma has only showed up at cons IIRC). But it would be pretty scummy to give Sigma a weird and very specific accessory for a character iteration that isn’t even announced. Maybe they’ll both go up?
DeleteI think it’s more likely X1 Zero comes with parts to make pre-Maverick Sigma. Give a reason to get the Zero that a lot of people would skip otherwise.
Finally, the best Zero design.
