Udon Brings New Mega Man Pins to San Diego Comic-Con

Udon Entertainment is bringing a whole lot of Mega Man pins to San Diego Comic-Con later this week, available exclusively at booth #100.

The lineup includes a series of seven Metall pins, Mega Man Legends “Petite Fighter” pins, and perhaps most interesting of all, a selection of classic series pins featuring brand-new artwork by Keisuke Mizuno. Mizuno’s Bass is especially nice to see, since he doesn’t draw him very often.

The majority of the pins will be priced at $15 each. You can see what all of the pins look like here

Udon Teases Archie Mega Man Comic Revival with Mysterious “56”

Udon Entertainment appears to be teasing a long-awaited continuation of Archie Comics’ Mega Man series.

Director of Publishing Matt Moylan tweeted an image featuring the number “56” presented in the traditional Mega Man stage-select style, along with the message, “Announcement coming at San Diego Comic-Con.” The implication seems fairly clear: Archie’s original series ended with issue #55, and Udon may be preparing to pick things up with a brand-new issue #56.

Nothing has been formally announced yet, but this would continue Udon’s ongoing efforts to bring Archie’s Mega Man comics back. The publisher is already reprinting the series under the new Mega Man Adventures label, which also includes new material from members of the original creative team.

Archie’s Mega Man came to an abrupt end in 2015, leaving several storylines unfinished. Fans have spent more than a decade hoping the series might someday return. 

We’ll learn more at Comic-Con!

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.

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.

Mattson Tomlin Says He’s No Longer Involved With Live Action Mega Man Movie


The long-in-development live action Mega Man movie has received a rare update, though not a definitive one. Screenwriter Mattson Tomlin, who was reportedly attached to the project, recently responded to a fan asking whether the script was still moving forward or had been quietly cancelled.

Hiya Toys Wants Your Pick for Its Next High-End Mega Man Figure

Hiya Toys is asking Mega Man fans who they’d like to see join the company’s figure lineup next.

A new survey is now live, letting fans vote for their most-wanted character from across the franchise. The current choices include characters from the classic, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man X, and Battle Network series. Every one who votes gets entered into a raffile to win a Exquisite Series X figure.

Kotobukiya Possibly Teasing Dual Override or Grande Scale Mega Man Kit

Kotobukiya appears to be teasing a new Mega Man kit on Twitter, and the image above points to one especially notable detail: a significantly larger Mega Buster compared to the standard-sized one included with their previously released Mega Man 11 model kit.

At first glance, this could simply be teasing a larger classic Mega Man kit, possibly even a “Grande Scale” version of Mega Man 11 Mega Man. But with the Mega Buster noticeably larger in the key art for Dual Override, it’s hard not to wonder if Kotobukiya is hinting at something tied to the new game.

Whatever Kotobukiya is teasing here, the wording of their tweet makes it sound like pre-orders may be opening sooner than later. We’ll keep an eye out for the official reveal.

Mega Man: Gear Masters #1 is expected to arrive in-stores September 2026.

Rumor: Mega Man May Be Coming to Fortnite

After appearing in several Fortnite surveys over the years, Mega Man may finally be headed to Epic Games’ battle royale, if a new rumor pans out.

According to HYPEX, Fortnite leak sources SpushFNBR and Wensoing have reported that a Mega Man collaboration is currently “in the works.” Both are active in the Fortnite leak scene and have a history of accurately reporting upcoming content, though leaks like this often come from datamines, backend updates, or early shop-related information.

At this time, there’s no word on which version of Mega Man would appear. The classic series feels like the obvious choice, especially with Dual Override on the horizon. A Fortnite collaboration would also fit neatly into Capcom’s broader push to expand Mega Man’s visibility and introduce the IP to a wider audience.

As always, take this with a grain of salt until Epic Games or Capcom make it official. That said, Fortnite has already featured several Capcom collaborations, including Street Fighter and Resident Evil. Mega Man joining the lineup wouldn’t be too far-fetched.

We’ll keep an eye out for more details.

Mega Man: Fully Charged Now Available on Tubi, YouTube

Over the last couple months, WildBrain has been steadily uploading full, free episodes of Mega Man: Fully Charged to its official YouTube channel, finally giving the show a home beyond Amazon’s digital storefront. Now, the series is even easier to watch: all 52 episodes are available to stream for free on Tubi in the United States.

As with the YouTube uploads, Tubi presents Fully Charged in its paired-episode format. That means the original 52 11-minute episodes are bundled into 26 half-hour slots, each running roughly 22 minutes.

Why the sudden push to make Fully Charged easier to watch after all these years? Your guess is as good as mine. But it may be one more small piece of Capcom’s broader effort to expand Mega Man’s reach and strengthen the brand as a core IP.

Premium Bandai’s Rockman Logo Acrylics Bring Classic Tunes to Your Shelf

Premium Bandai Japan has opened pre-orders for a new line of Rockman acrylic logo displays, and these come with a neat little twist: music.

Officially titled Acrylic Logo Display Sounds Rockman, the lineup covers all 11 numbered games, from the original Rockman through Rockman 11. Each display features the game’s title logo and includes a sound base that plays music from the corresponding title screen. Since the first Rockman did not have title screen music, its display instead uses the stage select theme, Famitsu reports.

Each display is priced at 3,850 yen, with pre-orders open now through September 27th, 2026 at 11:00 PM JST. Orders are expected to ship in December.

At this time, there’s no word on whether these will be available through international Premium Bandai outlets, so importing may be the only option for now.

Mega Man Soccer Coming to Capcom Town for Limited Time

The often-ignored Mega Man Soccer is finally getting a little attention from Capcom. Maybe not in the way many had hoped, but hey, it’s something.

From June 1st to June 30th, Mega Man Soccer will be playable through Capcom Town on PC and smartphone browsers. This marks the first time the game has been widely available in an official capacity in the modern era, as it still lacks a Legacy Collection re-release, Nintendo Switch Online release, or anything along those lines. The game was, however, included in the obscure Capcom Retro Station in 2020.

Mega Man Soccer is scheduled to leave Capcom Town at the end of the month, though the official Capcom Town Twitter account notes that it may return at a later date.

New X, Zero, Proto Man, and Dr. Wily Funko Pops Revealed



While they may not be everyone’s cup of tea, Mega Man Funko Pops are back on the menu.

Funko is adding four new Mega Man figures to its lineup: X, Zero, Proto Man, and Dr. Wily. The wave pulls from both the classic and X series, with Wily making for an especially fitting addition alongside our heroes. His new figure is a pretty big glow-up from the original version released way back when. Proto Man's upgrade isn't too shabby either.

The new Pops are set to go up for pre-order on Wednesday, May 27 at 9:00 AM PT. Pricing, retailers, and release timing haven’t been announced yet, but we’ll keep you posted as those details come in.
