Banpresto is following up the metallic classic Mega Man with another Grandista release: MegaMan.EXE. Stock photos have begun circulating through overseas distributors and retailers, though details like pricing and a release window haven’t surfaced just yet.
From what we can see, the figure stands at about 24 cm (roughly 9.44 inches), making it a little taller than the classic Mega Man Grandista, which comes in at around 8.7 inches.
More updates on availability soon!
More non-Mega Man news.
ReplyDeleteA *new* figure isn't news?
DeleteCant say I'm shocked after all the figures drop out of Capcom these days at a thousand times the rate game ever did that should mean something on its own.
DeleteCapcom doesn't produce the figures.
Delete@RealMMFan
DeleteI don’t know, this rate doesn’t seem particularly off. You should see all the merchandise that came out when Battle Network was still nascent!
Lol I know they dont produce the figures but they give others the right to produce them and thats a decision they make likewise for the initiative to start a new video game. What I meant was pretty obvious. As for the battle network merch the current merch is at a much higher price in current time and no thats not because of Trump lol more money from Capcom has gone into the current merch than into BN in the past even if we include most merch people in the West never saw you'd be hard pressed to tell me 200$ sentinel special run figures like rush armor or 200$ falcon armor Koto model series d arts etc etc haven't already superseded that value especially with the prices of stuff going up since all that was released almost or is 2 decades ago. My point stands no matter how much money the IP makes they are dragging it out with metch over new video games because well selling the same jiggle engine sells better especially when questionable folk get to mod it lol. I personally haven't bought any MegaMan merch in years "but you still come here" yup I still like to voice the truth with some common sense people being used just doesnt sit right with who I am luckily ive convinced dozens to move on from MegaMan but that's also probably helped by the fact Capcom is just another nintendo they just ware a blue shirt instead of red. 😅
DeleteIf a company wants to produce figure, Capcom have no reason to not give them the right because they're not making games. That would make no sense from their perspective (or from that of the customer who do want a figure of the character, for that matter). Yes, they should make games, no one said otherwise, but that's not a counterpoint to the other comments. The figures don't "drop out of Capcom", since as Protodude said, they're not making them (there's also not "more money from Capcom" going into them, that's the point. It doesn't cost them to let people make figures). And as @Jark SPore said, the amount of merch coming out now is pretty proportional for a dormant serie compared to what it was when the serie was at it's peak.
DeleteThey're also not the one who have caused the cost of living in the US to skyrocket.
Capcom also aren't the one who have raised the price of figure either. (They're responsible for a tons of other price related stuff, don't get me wrong. We all remember the overpriced Street Fighter costumes).
If Grandista wasn't making a figure, there would still not be more games from Capcom. What you meant was pretty obvious, it was also pretty pointless.
It's odd how people bypass my points and assume what I say in a way that's off track and sprint with it as fast as they can lol. And to contract an IP to anyone costs money lol.
DeleteYeah, it costs money for the licensee (Banpresto in this case). Capcom is the party who’s paid that money…
Delete"It's odd how people bypass my points..."
DeleteBecause you don't make any points. You crawl out of your hole every few weeks or so to make your rounds on the various news posts on this site to remind us all how we're suckers for continuing to be fans and purchase whatever merchandise is being talked about. Maybe if your posts weren't always the same boilerplate insults, we could withstand reading the wall of text with no commas, but I usually just skim past them now.
"And to contract an IP to anyone costs money lol."
It really doesn't. All it costs Capcom is the labor (salary) of whoever reviews the submitted material, which is likely someone who does it for multiple IPs, so the cost is minimal. So as a consumer, your options are to either purchase it or not purchase it. Coming on here and incessantly complaining and insulting those of us who do care and want to talk about figures, comics, or whatever, has no bearing on anything. All it does it make you look childish.
If I didnt make any valid points you would not be so obviously angry lol. 😂 And I dont affect people worse than those who only serve their own self interest rather than accept the obvious your "appreciation" of the series only serves to draw out the disrespect crapcom is allowed to continue towards your fellow fans so I fail to see how Im doing more damage than people in your position. 😅 A contradiction of more than just morals to be sure. 🤷♂️ You are welcome to love and follow whatever you like but not everyone will share that shallow view of a hobby or interest and that "should" be ok especially when others views include more than just themselves within said interest. And rather than reason with me you simply choose animosity meaning there isnt much going on behind the scenes on what or how you appreciate what you do. So I guess you can keep saying i crawl out of a hole but Im not digging one deeper for the rest who share you interest to me it's on par with Nintendo fan boys crapcom could do not wrong and everything they put in front of you is a holy relic and thats just not the mentality I choose to follow let alone embody. Maybe things haven't changed for the fan base because people choose to continue to spike the series with stagnation but hey what do I know I clearly make absolutely no "valid" points right? "Nudge nudge" 😜
Deletefingers crossed we get more of these for the other series, I'd love a Megaman Zero one
ReplyDeleteAlways happy to see more EXE stuff!
ReplyDeleteHuh. I try to keep myself controlled on figures--I don't have that much space--but I may have to get this one anyway. He'd look good next to my classic Mega Man version.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered mine from BBTS a bit ago for about $34 before shipping and all, since they just started taking orders for it with a release in June 2026.
