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: Threezero Capsule-Dou Finger Mega Busters Vol. 1

Over the years, I’ve seen plenty of unusual Mega Man products, but never anything quite like this. As part of Threezero's Capsule-Dou line, Mega Man’s iconic Buster has been turned into a nifty set of keychains! Are they fun little accessories or just a novelty that misses the mark? Join me after the break for the Buster Breakdown.

Review: Threezero MDLX Mega Man X (Rising Fire Ver.)

Somehow, Rising Fire has become one of X's most-used alternate color schemes. From toy lines to spin-off games, it's really been making the rounds in recent years. Now, Threezero is throwing their hat into the ring of fire. 

That's right, the latest release in the company's MDLX line is Mega Man X (Rising Fire Ver.)Is this our best Rising Fire X yet, or does it get snuffed out? Let’s find out after the break!

Review: Kotobukiya Iris (X4 Version)

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!

Review: Jada Toys Wave 3 (Helmetless Mega Man, Wood Man, Bubble Man)


Jada Toys returns with its third Mega Man wave, this time featuring larger deluxe figures. Wave 3 includes Helmetless Mega Man, Wood Man, and Bubble Man. Mega Man is similar to earlier releases but comes packed with more accessories, while Wood Man and Bubble Man are oversized figures loaded with extras. Of course, the bigger scale also means a higher price tag.

That just leaves the question: is this wave worth getting, or is this one to skip?

Review: Luminasta Mega Man Figure


Outside of video games, Mega Man has taken on plenty of physical forms over the years. We’ve covered many of them here on Rockman Corner — from model kits to action figures, the blue guy has done it all. 

Today, we’re looking at something a little different: a prize figure. SEGA’s Luminasta line has taken on the Blue Bomber… but how did it turn out?

Review: MDLX Fire Storm Mega Man

Threezero's MDLX Mega Man line continues with their newest release: Fire Storm Mega Man. Is this just the same figure in a new color scheme, or is there more to it?

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!

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!

Review: Three Zero MDLX Mega Man

Review: Kotobukiya Axl


The X series has brought us plenty of fun and unforgettable characters over the years—whether it’s Gate’s over-the-top personality, Berkana’s striking design, or the enduring legend of Green Biker Dude. But while the series is packed with fantastic characters, if you’re not X or Zero, getting merchandise is pretty unlikely. That said, since 2003, there’s a third major character who hardly ever gets the spotlight... until now.

Kotobukiya has thrown their hat into the ring by finally bringing us the first new character in their Mega Man X  line: Axl. Is this kit worth the wait? Stick around, and we’ll dive into everything it brings to the table!

Review: Kotobukiya Mega Man X MAX Armor Triad Thunder Ver.

Of all the Special Weapons in Mega Man X3, Triad Thunder is the last one I’d have expected to see as a model kit. The effect piece would be just too big compared to something like Tornado Fang or Frost Shield. But hey, never say never with Kotobukiya! Released in October 2024, the MAX Armor Triad Thunder Ver. is another go at Mega Man X3's MAX Armor (AKA the Third Armor), this time with a brand new coloring and a massive effect piece! 

Is the MAX Armor Triad Thunder Ver. worth a buy? Join me after the break, and we will break down everything there is to know about this kit!

Does it deserve a spot in your collection? Stick around after the break as we dive deep into the Falcon Armor!
