Review: Blokees Champion Class Zero (Mega Man Zero)

Blokees really came out of the gate swinging with its first wave of Mega Man model kits. By focusing on characters and designs that rarely receive merchandise, the company immediately stood out from others currently producing Mega Man goods.

Releasing alongside Shooting Star Mega Man is the other half of Wave 1: Zero in his Mega Man Zero design! But is this kit just as good as the last one? After the break, I’ll go over everything you need to know.

Review: Blokees Shooting Star Mega Man

The Mega Man series and model kits go together like Mac & Cheese.

Are these new kits able to stand next to the others? Join me after the break to learn all about Shooting Star Mega Man!

Review: Kotobukiya Iris (X4 Version)

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!

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!

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.

Another Look at Kotobukiya Decoction Fourth Armor X

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!

More details sooner than later, I hope!

Review: Kotobukiya Axl White Version

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!

Kotobukiya Announces "Zero 1st Ver." Model Kit (Update)

After Monday’s tease, Kotobukiya officially announced a new Zero model kit today. As expected, it’s the first version of Zero from the original Mega Man X game.

Review: Kotobukiya Mega Man 11 Scramble Thunder & 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!

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!
