I never thought I'd see the day when we’d get an official Iris figure of any kind, but at long last, after years of near-misses, here we are.
Kotobukiya is back at it with the first-ever figure of the fan-favorite heroine, Iris! Is this the one we've all been waiting for, or is it not worth the legacy of the character? Join me after the break to see everything this model kit has going for it!

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!
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!
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.

Back in February, Kotobukiya finally pulled back the curtain on the mysterious silhouette that had been teasing fans for the past couple of years. In a reveal few saw coming, the company unveiled a brand-new, large-scale Fourth Armor X kit for its premium Decoction line.
Now, to coincide with the Shizuoka Hobby Show, Kotobukiya has shared two crisp high-resolution images of the prototype mold, giving us a better look at the kit. That said, finer details like pricing and a release window are still being kept under wraps.
More details as they become available!

Kotobukiya's newest release is finally here, and this time, it's Zero. But this isn't just any Zero. This is the one that started it all! Today we will be going over Zero as he was depicted in both the original Mega Man X, as well as various flashbacks from across the series. Did Kotobukiya stick the landing? Find out after the break!

Tremble with terror! At long last, Kotobukiya’s Sigma model kit is up for pre-order. The imposing Maverick leader stands roughly 8.27 inches tall—towering over X, Zero, and other kits in the line—and comes packed with extras: a detachable cape, two Saber blades, a Saber grip, Saber holder, three interchangeable face parts, and four hand parts for different poses.
Right now, pre-orders are live through Big Bad Toy Store, HobbyLink Japan and Kotobukiya US (comes with an exclusive acrylic print plate) with an expected release in August 2026. Other retailers should open up order shortly.

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.

Kotobukiya’s 1/12 scale Iris kit, first revealed in October, is now up for pre-order through Kotobukiya, Big Bad Toystore, and Hobby Link Japan, with additional retailers coming online soon. She’s slated to ship in May 2026.

The Mega Man X series is famous for many things, but one of the most distinctive elements is the variety of Armors worn by its characters. X is the face of this tradition, though Zero, Vile, and Sigma have each sported multiple designs over the years. Then there’s the most enigmatic member of the cast: Axl. In Mega Man X8, Axl received a mysterious upgrade known only as “???”—better remembered by fans as White Axl. For over two decades, this design has gone without a proper figure, until now. To my surprise, Kotobukiya has finally answered the call. We know their track record speaks for itself, but just how impressive is this release? Let’s take a closer look!
After a short delay, Kotobukiya has finally released the latest kits in their Mega Man Classic line. This time, we got two Special Weapon based kits from Mega Man 11: Scramble Thunder and Pile Drive. Are they worth the wait, and do they stay true to the source material? After the break, I’ll cover everything you need to know!
Every now and then, a fan project pops up that truly stands out. Sometimes it's a fan-game, sometimes it's a piece of artwork, and other times, it's a custom accessory made to complement your official merchandise. Today, I want to highlight a remarkable project I’ve been following since its inception—so join me after the break as we dive into everything there is to know about these incredible fan-made Light Capsules!
Kotobukiya is bringing back the MegaMan.EXE model kit this December in Japan, with a U.S. reissue scheduled for January 2026, the manufacturer announced. After being off shelves at major retailers for the past few years, this re-release comes as welcome news for fans who missed out the first time. The kit was a hit during its original run, and demand has remained strong ever since.
As expected with reissues, the kit will be identical to the original version. It features four interchangeable face parts, the Mega Buster, Cannon, Sword, three alternate hand poses, and three different effect parts—ideal for recreating dynamic Net Battles.
Pre-orders are available now from Kotobukiya US, Big Bad Toystore, HobbyLink Japan,
