Blokees Star Force Mega Man, Zero Will Release in Next 6-8 Weeks

Blokees’ Champion Class Star Force Mega Man and Zero model kits are currently on display at BotCon, and according to a company representative, they’re coming soon. Very soon.

Although the representative could not share an exact release date, they told a Rockman Corner correspondent that both kits are targeting a launch within the next six to eight weeks. That would place their release sometime in late August or September.

The representative also confirmed that each kit will consist of approximately 120 pieces and retail for between $25 and $30.

Blokees has not opened pre-orders yet, but with the release window rapidly approaching, it may not be long before retailers begin accepting reservations. We’ll keep you posted.

Thanks for the tip, RockmanHQ!

Mega Man: Dual Override Tokyo Game Show 2026 Gold Medal Revealed

While Capcom has yet to officially confirm that Mega Man: Dual Override will appear at Tokyo Game Show 2026 this September, the signs are certainly beginning to point in that direction.

To commemorate Tokyo Game Show’s 30th anniversary, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) has announced a limited-edition collection of six pure gold, 24-karat medals engraved with characters and logos from a select group of franchises, including Mega Man as he appears in Dual Override.

The collection also includes a ticket granting admission to all three days of the show. It will set you back a staggering 3.3 million yen, or roughly $20,440 USD.

Kotobukiya Zero 1st Ver. Limited Edition Revealed (Updated)

Kotobukiya is bringing back Zero 1st Version with a fresh coat of paint — literally.

This new Limited Edition release swaps the original colors for pearlescent and metallic finishes, recreating Zero’s charged-up appearance. To complete the look, the kit also includes an all-new Spiral Crush Buster effect part, which Kotobukiya touts as the largest effect part in its Mega Man X model kit lineup to date.

That’s not all. The included face parts feature newly adjusted eye directions, offering a little more variety for posing. The leg joints have also been updated, with two sets included in the box. These can be used to upgrade Mega Man X Zero, Zero Nightmare Ver., and Black Zero kits.

Zero 1st Version Limited Edition is expected to ship in January 2027. Pre-orders are currently available directly from Kotobukiya, with additional retailers likely to follow soon. UPDATE: Big Bad Toystore pre-orders are open!

Udon's Dr. Wily #1 Delayed to August 5th

Originally scheduled to arrive at comic shops this week, Udon Entertainment’s standalone Dr. Wily #1 issue has been delayed to Wednesday, August 5th. The update comes via Udon’s official Discord channel.

As a refresher, here’s the official solicitation:

Dr. Albert Wily, the (self-proclaimed) world's greatest scientist stars in his own 1-shot adventure! Dr. Wily's ultimate scheme is about to be revealed, with only one thing standing in his way... the annoyingly "heroic" robot known as Mega Man!

Pre-orders for Dr. Wily #1 are still available through the Udon Store, so you’ve got a little extra time to secure your copy.

Kotobukiya Grande Scale Mega Man Revealed (Updated)

After last week's teaser, Kotobukiya has officially revealed their next Grande Scale model kit: Mega Man from Mega Man 11.

Much like Kotobukiya's previous Grande Scale releases, this is essentially the standard Mega Man 11 kit scaled up. Once built, it stands an impressive 250mm tall — about 9.8 inches — and includes the same articulation, accessories, and interchangeable parts as the original release.

The kit is expected to ship in November. Pre-orders begin today directly through Kotobukiya, with other retailers likely to follow shortly. We'll keep you posted as those listings go live. UPDATE: Up at Hobby Link Japan and Big Bad Toystore.
