By way of Amazon Japan, the package design for the "Rockman and Rockman X 5-in-1 box" set for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch has been revealed. It's a spiffy yellow and blue package with newly-drawn Rockman and X schematics by by Ryuji Higurashi and Keiske Mizuno, respectively. You can see what those look like here and here.

An Almost Perfect Model Kit: Kotobukiya X Video Reviews

Released back on August 28th, the one and only Maverick Hunter X marks the beginning of Kotobukiya's new Rockman X model kit line. With the Max Armor coming in December, Zero coming in the near future, and a fourth model kit to be revealed in early February, 2020, the excitement among fans and collectors is palpable! But how did the first kit turn out?

A few "figure-model kit"-centric YouTubers already got their hands on the X kit and published their reviews and even a live build of it online. All of them agree that it's a high quality kit, but it's no without flaws. It reportedly takes a long time to build (2-3 hours), there's too many seamlines, and some parts may fall apart when posing. It sounds like the shoulder joint in particular is a little problematic. But overall, this is a top-notch kit.

In case you want to check out other reviews besides the one at the top of this article, you might want to look at Dstar01 and Eugene42181 reviews.

Dimension Studios Zero Model Kit Features an Inner Skeletal Frame

As anticipated, Dimension Studios' upcoming Rockman Zero series Zero model kit made an appearance today at the "China International Comic Festival". Though it was only a prototype, much of the kit's key features were already in place.

First and perhaps most significant is confirmation that the kit features an inner skeletal frame, pictured on the left. Anyone who's put together some of the more complicated mecha kits out there will tell you just how important inner frame parts can be. Simply put, they're designed to make the fully-assembled figure more articulate. It's a skeleton in every sense of the word. I don't believe we've seen this feature on any previous Rockman kit before.

The kit will also include a Z-Saber and Z-Knuckle. The fingers of the Z-Knuckle are not articulate, meaning that the Z-Knuckle is an optional, interchangeable part. That alone gives us an idea how articulate the fully-assembled figure will be (i.e not too much).

Unfortunately, we're still in the dark about the kit's release date, price and availability. The China International Comic Festival runs for a few more days, though. Perhaps we'll here something by the weekend. Stay tuned!

Mega Man x Dragalia Lost Further Details Revealed

More details have surfaced regarding the upcoming Mega Man event in Nintendo's Dragalia Lost which was announced last week. Details were provided by the game's director Yuji Okada on the latest Dragalia Lost newsletter along with the first piece of artwork for the event as seen above. Information regarding the Mega Man crossover event itself can be found below:

"The Mega Man event is scheduled to occur at the end of November.

In it, you'll be able to add Mega Man to your team as a temporary adventurer. You can increase your friendship with him by clearing quests with him on your team. If your friendship with him reaches a certain level, he'll remain your ally even after the event ends.

The way Mega Man moves and attacks is based on his own games. Even the animations for when he takes damage or when his HP reaches 0 are call backs to his series!

We'll have more to share about his skills and shapeshifting capabilities in future notices, but trust me when I say, they will be... distinctly ... "Mega Man" ...

You'll join Mega Man in fighting against the Greatwyrms, who will have special behavior for this event. But why the Greatwyrms? Well, a certain someone has come to the world of the Dragalia Lost...

But we're not spilling those beans yet! You'll just have to look forward to the event to find out exactly who this is.

You'll also be able to get event-specific items, wyrmprints and weapons. They'll also be event specific music! 

November's This Month in Dragalia Lost will have more information on this, so keep an eye out for it."

"a certain someone" - I think it's safe to say that could probably be Wily, don't you think? Also having event specific music could possibly give us some new remixes! Only time will tell! Looks like we'll have to wait until the next newsletter towards the end of the month before we get more details on the event but, rest assured, we'll report any new details as they arise! 

Will you be playing the event this November?
