According to a handful of Rockman Corner readers, the limited edition 25th anniversary silver statue of Mega Man and Mega Man X is now shipping. As one might remember, only about 1,000 of these were produced.
If you preordered yours, be sure to keep an eye on that mailbox over the next few days. Until then, Rock Miyabi has sent in some photos (wait till you see the packaging). Check them out after the break!
Rock Miyabi's thoughts:
"A little more disappointing overall compared to the previous Capcom Store Classic Megaman statue? Yeah, it still seems bland in comparison. Overall, the craftsmanship is still nice. Rock's nose bothered me more in the pictures from Unity, but it really just depends on the angle you are looking at it from. Same goes for those complaints from people about X's waist being so thin.
I wish a little more care would have been taken with the base, as it just seems...unfinished. But hey, it works as a nice wannabe bowling trophy for beating all those games over the last 25 years, right? And it doubles as a bookend well, too. X's hand can help hold R20+5 and all those UDON artbooks nice and straight on your bookshelf!"
That box is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe statue looks awful in my opinion, the proportions are way off. The box is cool.
ReplyDeleteI've got mine: number 831. Anyone else have a neat number?
ReplyDeleteYeah.. 457 :D
DeletePlease you guys let people know if the spares hit the Capcom store again, like with the last statue.
ReplyDeleteI want this but wasn't able to budget it at the time.
There are still spares. Check the store.
DeleteWell I mean after they supposedly sell out, in like a month or so from now.
DeleteIt's what happened last time.
I bought one just for the box. Just kidding. I didn't buy one at all.
ReplyDeleteI received mine today. It's a very nice piece. I am pleased. Maybe not quite worth the price, but regardless, it's a quality statue. Paint could be a tad better, but I won't complain...
ReplyDeleteThough I do have one gripe. I ordered this thing very near to the time pre-orders began. I mean very near. I'm assuming the numbers of the statues don't correspond to the order in which the orders were placed this time around as I received #583. I doubt half of the statues were claimed in the time frame I spoke of. Makes me wonder.
Although I did see a couple numbers on the box it was shipped in, and on the order sticker. "90" and "38", respectively. Did any of those number placements match what was on the statue, anyone?
Nope. The sticker had 42 or something on mine, and I got #552. I don't think that number would have anything to do with the statue's number. Had much better luck with low numbering on the previous statue, although I guess having a 25th collectable with only 5's and a 2 is OK.
DeleteBut I doubt they would have shipped statues numbered by order placement received anyhow, nor do I find something like that absolutely necessary. No different from numbered collectable giveaways at sporting events; it's all the luck of the draw, and I'm fine with that.
Just received mine today. I knew there was trouble when i picked up the box and heard something move around inside. Unfortunately X's arms had completely broken off, and the rest of his upper body was loose and starting to separate from his legs. Did not get a chance to inspect anything else, and I have to wait until Monday to contact capcom for a replacement. Hopefully the process is easy and trouble free. Super bummed out right now
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem, just my X's arm is just loose and not fully off (yet). His leg is the same as yours & his Left foot isn't fully secure on the base making him wobble. I contacted Capcom Thursday and have not heard back yet >__<
Delete:s mine will arrive this Monday , crossing the fingers
DeleteMine arrived in perfect condition, #104
ReplyDeleteMy box had #10 got #10.
