Kotobukiya Rockman Anniversary Stream Rescheduled to January 31st

Late last year, at the very last minute, Kotobukiya unexpectedly postponed their Rockman 35th/Rockman X 30th anniversary live stream event. Today, they have now finalized a new date for the program: January 31st at 4AM CST.

The show is anticipated to run for roughly 90 minutes. Viewers can look forward to new Rockman model kit reveals, as well as updates on kits that were previously announced. We can expect to see the final paint work for Axl, reveals for Black Zero, Third Armor X Thunder Triad version, among other goodies. Additionally, a segment of the stream will be dedicated to Kotobukiya's Arcanadea series, which is unrelated to Rockman.

We'll be following the stream closely for those who may be unable to watch it live. There's sure to be a handful of updates -- stay tuned!
