Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4 OSTs Hit the Capcom Store

Capcom U.S brings us a double dose of official soundtracks this week with Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 4. You can download each digital album for just $8.95.

Mega Man 3 contains 39 tracks (left) composed by Capcom sound designer Yasuaki Fujita (aka "Bun Bun"). Meanwhile, Mega Man 4 clocks in at 66 tracks (right), weaved by a personal favorite Minae Fujii. Fujii was also responsible for the soundtracks to Mega Man 10, Duck Tales 2, TaleSpin, and Breath of Fire.

Capcom and Bandai Hold D-Arts Character Poll

It's that time again. Capcom Japan has opened up a new poll for fans to vote on who they want to see made into Bandai's next D-Arts. There are 24 total characters ranging from various series.

You can only select up to three choices. Further, Capcom has provided a field for you to suggest any other character not listed. You must provide your age and your favorite series (Mega Man, X, Legends, Battle Network, Zero, ZX, Star Force). Survey ends on May 16th.

Although this poll is intended for Japanese audiences, there's no telling if Bluefin Tamashii Nations will follow through with their own. I'll keep you posted.

Tremble with Terror! Figuarts ZERO Sigma Unveiled!

Hot on the heels of D-Arts Ultimate Armor X, the official Tamashii Nations Facebook has pulled the wraps off of the enormous Figuarts ZERO Sigma. As a Figuarts ZERO figure, Sigma has no points of articulation. But as a trade off, you're getting a fine-sculpted, towering beast. No joke, he stands seven inches tall.

Sigma will go on sale in North America in September/October wherever Bandai products are sold. In Japan, he will retail for the equivalent of $58 USD. Pre-orders should open up in the coming days.

Mega Man 25th Anniversary Statue Gets Much Needed Face Lift

Pointed out by the official Capcom Store Twitter, the 25th anniversary statue has seen another revision. As you can see, the eyes have been completely revamped. They're more proportionate to Mega Man's face, which looks significantly less gaunt. Just compare it with this. Yeah, I think it's a step in the right direction.

You can see more images of the update figure at the Capcom Store. While you're there, why not pre-order? The deadline is in two short days!

Archie's Matt Herms Shows His Mega Man Legends Love

Archie Comics colorist Matt Herms shared this work-in-progress Mega Man Legends inspired piece on Twitter. Mind, it's only fan-art. There's nothing to suggest an Archie Legends adaption is happening. But it's something Herms would personally love to see.

"I would LOVE for this to happen," he tweets. "Aside from X, Legends is my favorite of the spin-offs."

I know I'd be on board. What about you?
