Kotobukiya Says the Unknown Mega Man Kit is Still in Development

At the 2025 All Japan Model and Hobby Show, reputable model kit enthusiast x_ledur met Shohei Chiba, the lead planner behind Kotobukiya’s Mega Man kits. Though busy, Chiba took a moment to chat and confirmed that the mysterious kit teased on January 31, 2024, is “still alive.” This is the first official mention of the project since its reveal.

The silhouette has sparked plenty of debate among fans. While guesses range from Copy X to Command Mission X or even something from X DiVE, none seem to fit the shape exactly. I’ve also confirmed that Kotobukiya’s license to produce Mega Man model kits, originally granted in 2010, only covers characters that appear in the official games. This means that, unless the terms have changed, the new kit can’t be an original Kotobukiya creation—it has to be based on an existing in-game character.

All we can continue to do now is wait for Kotobukiya or Capcom to finally pull back the curtain.

Threezero’s MDLX Mega Man line continues to expand with the reveal of its latest addition at the 2025 All Japan Model and Hobby Show: Cut Man. Marking the company’s first Robot Master in the series, the figure is still in the prototype stage but already looks sharp. A release date has yet to be announced.

Kotobukiya Iris Announced (Release Date TBD)

At long, long last, Iris is stepping into the spotlight! Kotobukiya has officially announced that the iconic Mega Man X4 Reploid is getting her very own 1/12-scale model kit. Pricing and release date are still under wraps, but fans can rest easy knowing she’ll pair seamlessly with Kotobukiya’s previously-released Zero kits. A match made in heaven!

Based on the images released, Iris will include at least three interchangeable face plates, a set of hand parts, and articulated hair. Additional accessories have yet to be revealed.

More details sooner than later, I hope!

Grandista Mega Man Metallic Version Due in 2026

UPDATE: Now available to preorder from Big Bad Toystore; ships April 2026.

Bandai’s popular Grandista Mega Man figure appears to be getting a new coat of paint. A low res image of a metallic variant has surfaced on Weibo, My Figure Collection, and various figure pages in the last few hours. While this seems to be an early leak ahead of an official announcement from Bandai, initial details suggest the figure is slated for release in March 2026.

The original Grandista figure debuted in Japan in 2020 as a redemption prize before later seeing individual releases in North America and overseas. While it’s still available from select retailers, new stock appears to have dried up some time ago, making this new version seem poised to take its place.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Wins Future Division Award at TGS 2025

The Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) announced the winners of the 2025 Japan Game Award Future Division during this year’s Tokyo Game Show. A total of eleven upcoming games were recognized as highly anticipated software, chosen through public voting and further evaluated by the Japan Game Awards Selection Committee. Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection was among the recipients, with producer Shino Izumi and Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san appearing on stage to accept the award.

This marks the fifth time a Mega Man title has earned the honor, following Battle Network 3 in 2002, Battle Network 5 in 2004, Mega Man 11 in 2018, and Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection in 2022. 

Each of those titles went on to achieve commercial success in Japan and overseas, making the Future Division Award something of an indicator of strong sales. Here's hoping Star Force Legacy Collection will carry the momentum forward.

You can watch this year’s awards ceremony via the archived stream here!

Details from Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection TGS Stage (Director Koji Oda Returns!)

As anticipated, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection producer Shingo Izumi joined Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san on stage at Tokyo Game Show to present direct-feed gameplay and share a few new, notable details...

16 Minutes of Off-Screen Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Gameplay

Word has it that Capcom is keeping a tight lid on filming the Star Force Legacy Collection demo at Tokyo Game Show—you need explicit permission to record. Still, YouTube user east9698 was able to capture about 16 minutes of gameplay from Star Force 1 (Dragon).

Some observations:

• Fuyuka Oura voices Geo/Subaru, and Kentaro Ito voices Omega-Xis/War-Rock. It’s unclear whether this is new audio or remastered.

• The title screen animation isn’t just an upscale of the DS version—it’s been fully remade.

• Renaming Geo is no longer possible, likely to maintain consistency across all three games.

• When navigating in-game menus, interactions between the bottom and top screens are automatic; you don’t need to manually switch between them.

• The vertical screen display option (tate mode) is clearly designed to replicate the original Nintendo DS presentation.

• Free Camera can be used at any time, which is especially useful when exploring Wave Roads.

• As previously confirmed, Geo’s default movement speed can be adjusted, and you can really see it in action here!

As for when we might see direct feed footage, it’s anyone’s guess. Capcom has been slowly releasing screenshots over the past few days, and a panel with the game’s producer is scheduled for this Sunday. So sometime between now and then seems likely.
