Kotobukiya Preparing to Announce New Rockman Kits in February

It’s been nearly two years since Kotobukiya last did a Rockman stream. The previous one brought a ton of new model kit announcements, plus a mystery kit we still haven’t learned anything about. But now they’re back: Rockman Plastic Model Talk Live returns on February 14 to reveal what’s next.

Find more info after the break!



The stream, which is planned run for about an hour, will broadcast on February 14th at 14:00 (JST). Kotobukiya’s Rockman model kit planner, Bachi (Shohei Chiba), will speak during the stream about the model kits currently available for pre-order, as well as reveal new model kits that will be revealed during the Kotobukiya Collection event from February 13th - to 15.

While Kotobukiya is mum on what will be shown, based on the thumbnail for the stream,we can deduce that they will present the Sigma model kit in its fully painted form and provide information regarding pre-orders. And Since the stream uses the franchise’s main logo rather than the Rockman X logo, it is expected that model kits from other series will also be shown.

You can watch the HERE when it goes live February 14th!

  1. Its about time that the Sigma kit dropped, but I won't lie, I'm more excited about the other possibilities.

  2. Awesome. I was expecting this.
    Really looking forward to more info on Sigma. Been working on a 3D model of Velguarder to go along side him when the time comes.

    1. Bonus Velguarder is the first thing that came to my mind when Koto announced the Sigma kit.

    1. The only thing that bothers me is being able to see the brow ridges that clearly. They're not as prominent on the statue, but if it means getting a poseable Sigma, I'll allow it.

    2. Hmm, I see why you mean. Granted, it’s still a grey model, so it might look better in color.

      My bigger concern is the face design/direction. It’s clearly going more for the MHX angry/psycho look, but actual X1 Sigma is more smug and cocky. Hope there’s a good variety.

    3. You can see him in color in the YouTube link. His gem is also black for some reason, but that's easy enough to paint over.

    4. But yes, smug and cocky Sigma is best Sigma imo.

    5. It's dark red. It's a trick of the light.

    6. A bit deeper than I'd like, I guess. Can't win them all.

  7. Taking some wild guesses: it is due time they announce a new X armor (either Gaea or Shadow). Based on previous poll, I would guess Vile would be a strong contender as well. Possibly MegaMan Star Force as well in celebration of the upcoming collection?

    I would love to see Aile, who was one of the finalists on the original poll (as far as I know, we never had any ZX figure official representation?), however, chances would be slim, I guess. Personal favorite one, for me, would be Gate, but also highly unlike at the moment. We'll see.

    1. I’d love to see Gaea, that’s one of my favorites. That said, I think we’re getting Glide or one of the X8 Armors first.

      Delete
    2. don't rule out the ultimate armor

      Delete
    3. I'll take any new model kit that isn't a weapon version or a re-skin.
      I'd lay a golden brick if they announce either Vile, Alia, Ultimate Armor, CM X, Shadow Armor, Glide Armor or accessory kits.
      I'll take Gaea for completion (but it's really an underwhelming design)

      It's a safe bet we will get Mega Man 12 Rock and I'll guess they will announce Blues.EXE.

      Delete
    4. I think Gaea and Shadow are more popular, but I'd also like Glide and Neutral. I don't remember any official figures from X7 and X8 armors.

      Delete
    5. It'd be really cool to have Gate, but very unlikely

      Delete
    6. The Neutral armor would just make sense. It's practically four different models in one. Koto loves that crap.

  10. Leave it to koto to pick up the slack while other publishers produce over reproduced copies. "But koto did the same blah blah" yeah no they produced alternative Xs and have provided more in function and besides buyers freedom and quality. Anyone who can hobbie outside of the "purchase button" won't see quality behind a figure assembled automatically. Alas Capcom is the same as the average buyer.. minimum or nothing haha! 😂 Spit hate and undertone if you know I'm right about them or you i will ss. 🤣

    3. Kendra you know what I'm on about "fingers Z formation". And I'd have to agree anything that automatically stops aggressive behavior and forces sarcasm as the only option without 2 AA batteries is already saving the planet. 😛 ➡️⬇️↘️"Shoot" seeing as how X would spank Ryu... or Ken seeing as how you appreciate them long glowing locks.🤣 Don't worry Zero I'll save you from that virus... again.. 😅

  11. Great, now Kotobukiya is teaming up with Blokees to drain my bank account. Looking forward to the Sigma kit, he'll go well with maverick Zero.

    1. If we got pre-orders before the 20th, that would be odd...
