Bandai's Mega Armor Series Returns - Giga Armor Mega Man X Announced

If you were a Mega Man fan in the 90s, you likely hold fond memories of Bandai's Mega Armor figures. These articulate, 4-inch figures were simple model kits that could be customized with various armor and accessories based predominantly on the Mega Man X series. They were fun to collect and build. Unfortunately the line was discontinued in 2001 shortly after the release of Mega Man X6.

Today, Bandai are breathing new life into the 20-year-old line. The Mega Armor series is back and better than ever..

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 Leaked By Korean Rating Board (Updated)

UPDATE (5/10): Ratings have appeared in Taiwan for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Hold onto your butts: Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 has been rated in Korea for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It will allegedly contain Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10. Yep; Mega Man 9 and 10.

Now, it's too soon to say which version of Mega Man 8 will be included (PSX or Saturn) and whether or not Mega Man & Bass will make the cut. But honestly, just four games? There's gotta be a little something else in there (or there should be). Pending an official announcement from Capcom, we can only speculate. 

Stay tuned for more updates! Hopefully we'll have news sooner than later.

Closer Look at Mega Man X Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite Figure

Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite producer Danny Koo posted a much better look at the Mega Man X figure coming with the Collector's Edition. Its appearance is based on X's in-game character model, right down to the small exaggerated traits (the arcs in the helmet, for example).

As previously mentioned, the figure can link together with the three other figures - Chun-Li, Captain Marvel and Iron Man - to form a smashing diorama. The Collector's Edition will set you back $199.99.
