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.
Threezero has announced an MDLX Black Zero figure, but much to the disappointment of many collectors, its release will be extremely limited.
According to Threezero, the figure will be available in limited quantities at ACGHK 2026 and ChinaJoy 2026 on a first-come, first-served basis. At this time, there are no plans for a wider release, nor any indication that the figure will appear at events more accessible to fans in other regions.
Accessories include a Black Zero Buster forearm, two interchangeable faceplates and three pairs of interchangeable hands. Alongside his signature Z-Saber, Mega Man X5-style blades and Z-Saber effect part, the set also includes two blades based on Zero’s appearance in Mega Man X6.
We’ll keep you posted if anything changes down the line.
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!

Hiya Toys has rolled out a handful of new images of Exquisite Basic Series Zero, which is now on track to release in Q1 2027 (anywhere between January to March 2027). The figure stands at 15CM tall, faithfully recreating his second armor appearance first introduced in Mega Man X2.
First teased back in September, Threezero has revealed the prototype for the next entry in their MDLX Mega Man line: Zero. This figure is based on Zero's "Type 2" form, which first appeared in Mega Man X2.
There’s no word yet on a release window, price, or what accessories will be included. The figure will be on display at the Shizuoka Hobby Show from May 14 to May 17. More information may be revealed during the event.

Despite not being widely recognized or used today, Zero's original design from Mega Man X1 is worth revisiting, especially following recent comments from former Capcom planner Magigi Fukunishi. Fukunishi revealed that, during the initial story planning phase, Zero's X1 body was drafted as a replica made by Dr. Cain, who lacked the knowledge to properly repair Zero after his discovery. This isn't reflected in the final product, but it's an intriguing "what if".
In the video editorial above, Rockman Corner staffer ColeManX takes us through this original concept, the impact they would have had on the events of Mega Man X2, and an analysis of why the design is so great in the first place (also featuring lovely original art by Sprinqgueen). There's a lot more to it than the age-old "round shoulders vs. block shoulders", that's for sure.
Nice work, Cole!
Surprise! The 2003 crossover fighter SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos is now available for download on Steam with a release planned on Monday, July 22nd, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and GOG. This modern port features rollback netcode mutliplayer, online lobbies for up to nine players, and a variety of extras, including a gallery mode and a new hitbox viewer.
For Mega Man fans, SVC Chaos holds a special place as it features Zero from the Zero series as a secret playable character. His moveset draws inspiration from an array of weapons and actions from the games, including the inclusion of numerous Cyber Elfs. Ciel also makes an appearance, dropping in on Zero's interactions with other characters to provide some commentary and support. This is also the game that features the gender-swapped Zero sprite, which you might have seen out of context.
If you haven't played SVC Chaos before, check out Zero in action here and here.
