Review: Kotobukiya Bass.EXE

For Kotobukiya’s various Mega Man lines—and most Mega Man toy lines in general—it’s rare to see characters beyond the main cast get made. Lately, though, Kotobukiya seems to have taken that criticism to heart. They are trying to venture off the beaten path with kits like the upcoming Sigma, the surprise announcement of Roll.EXE, or with today's subject: the Cyberworld's God of Destruction, Bass.EXE. Was Kotobukiya able to deliver on this fan-favorite rouge Program? Join me after the break as we discuss everything about this kit!

Review: Three Zero MDLX Mega Man

Over the years, we've seen several articulated Mega Man figures, and now Three Zero is joining the lineup with their MDLX Mega Man. How does it stack up against other versions of the character? Stick around as I break down everything this figure has to offer!

Review: Kotobukiya Axl

The X series has brought us plenty of fun and unforgettable characters over the years—whether it’s Gate’s over-the-top personality, Berkana’s striking design, or the enduring legend of Green Biker Dude. But while the series is packed with fantastic characters, if you’re not X or Zero, getting merchandise is pretty unlikely. That said, since 2003, there’s a third major character who hardly ever gets the spotlight... until now.

Kotobukiya has thrown their hat into the ring by finally bringing us the first new character in their Mega Man X  line: Axl. Is this kit worth the wait? Stick around, and we’ll dive into everything it brings to the table!

Review: Kotobukiya Mega Man X MAX Armor Triad Thunder Ver.

Of all the Special Weapons in Mega Man X3, Triad Thunder is the last one I’d have expected to see as a model kit. The effect piece would be just too big compared to something like Tornado Fang or Frost Shield. But hey, never say never with Kotobukiya! Released in October 2024, the MAX Armor Triad Thunder Ver. is another go at Mega Man X3's MAX Armor (AKA the Third Armor), this time with a brand new coloring and a massive effect piece! 

Is the MAX Armor Triad Thunder Ver. worth a buy? Join me after the break, and we will break down everything there is to know about this kit!
