Wonder Festival is underway, and with it comes a closer look at the newest additions to ThreeZero’s MDLX Mega Man line: Bass and Fourth Armor X.
Both figures are still in the prototype stage, but the latest display offers a clearer view of the sculpt work and finer detailing. There’s still no release date just yet, though progress appears to be moving along steadily.
If you’re attending Wonder Festival, you can see them up close at ThreeZero’s booth (7-17-04).
Good to see there's finally an alternative for D-Arts Bass.
ReplyDeleteNew Bass figure is an auto-get. I like my D-Arts figure, but he's so pricey these days that he's hard to recommend to anyone else.
DeleteI got tired of his shoulder pads and forearms popping off whenever I tried to pose him, tbh.
DeleteI second that one. I thought maybe I just had a design flaw or was just a bull in a china shop, but all my D-Arts figures seem to have that issue if they have shoulder armor of any kind!
DeleteI got so annoyed with it, I took a picture of my other figures "Rankin' Bass" with Bass' forearm popped off. I don't have Bass or the picture anymore, unfortunately.
DeleteLmao that's fair. I take off his shoulderpads when I pose him and slide 'em back on when I'm done, but he's definitely not as 'pose and go' as the D-Arts Mega Man. I used to have the Zero figure as well and, while I never had any particular issue with his shoulder pads, he had other issues. Overall I think the quality of figures has increased over the years, so I really hope this new figure is a great one.
DeleteVersion 1 Zero was notorious for the hair breaking off. I have the D-Arts Black Zero somewhere, and I don't think I had any real problems with him.
DeleteThey have also announced Hyper Bomb Megaman. Not sure why this specific weapon, but hey, a new recolor on the way.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad I wish I was in Japan around the time Wonderfest. You don’t know how badly I want the Guardians/Pandora and Prometheus kits 🥲. These are lovely and I just hope resellers won’t be too expensive!!
ReplyDeleteIf you look now you may get them as close to the original price as possible. I was lucky and someone I know got the megamix megaman and the storm eagle for me but, if I have no choice I'd go to eBay, yahoo Japan, and mercari.jp now to find them.
DeleteMy only hope is that they make a treble to fit it otherwise I'll have to keep my d-arts one just in case
DeleteHow would I go about purchasing g those?
DeleteAethelwulfii, You might need to use a middleman service like TreasureJapan.
DeleteIt's good to see the line expanding, but I'm hoping they can move past products already released by Bandai and Koto. I've always wanted to attend Wonderfest someday and there's still the summer one in July, so who knows...
