Jada Toys Proto Man Confirmed for Wave 4

Another day, another Jada Toys reveal. The third figure from Mega Man Wave 4 just made an appearance at Comic-Con. To my surprise and delight, it's Proto Man!

There are no other details available at the moment, but we can deduce that he’ll come with a removable shield and an alternate Buster hand part. I’m hoping for an alternate Break Man head... but we’ll see.

So that's Wave 4 for you. Gemini Laser Mega Man, Snake Man and Proto Man. We should be hearing about a release window and distribution plans soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks to Adawg_ng for the tip, and Daniel Protoman for the image!

  1. This is great news, I've been hoping for a Proto man figure. My only gripe is I think they should have just gone ahead and made a Gemini Man figure instead of another Mega Man recolor.

    1. Another Mega Man recolor? Isn't it bit an overcritical thing to say about Proto Man? I just hope I can get it for my big brother for Christmas.

    2. (they meant the actual MegaMan recolor using Gemini Laser)

      Or I'm being wooshed

    3. I think OP is talking about the Gemini Laser figure revealed the other day, which is exactly that. (Plus a Pen-Pen) See prior post.

    4. The person was likely talking about Gemini Laser Mega Man

    5. They were talking about the Gemini laser Mega Man. How can you not understand that?

    6. @Rock X, come on really? The guy was talking about the Gemini Laser Mega Man recolor. Read the post again.

    7. Woosh aside, a Proto Man figure is an S tier present for a big brother.

    8. @ rock x, woosh. Read the post again instead of throwing a fit. TC is clearly excited about the Protoman and is referring to the Mega Man weapon reskins. How you don’t understand that is beyond me.

    1. I bet they'll do that that in one of the next waves, though I wonder if they'll base his helmet on the original sprite design or if they'll base it on his Archie design...

    2. Hopefully it’s based off his game design.

  3. Called it last night. I thought it was either Proto Man or Rush.

  5. That's a cloth scarf. Pretty sure.

    1. I hope it’s wired.

    2. Have to agree, definitely looks like cloth, which is pretty cool!

    3. It looks like soft pvc to me, which I'm not thrilled with. It gets sticky when it starts to deteriorate.

    4. Ok maybe it is fabric. I hope so.

      Delete
    5. Several other Jada figures (Universal Monsters) have fabric clothing and/or accessories, and I think this is pretty obviously fabric in the photo. The final product will very likely have a fabric scarf. I also don't think this is a final production figure, so the scarf will likely change a bit, and I am hoping that change is a wire inside so it can be posed.

    6. Yeah the texture looked like fabric when I zoomed in on the photo. An upgrade from the old Ruby-Spears strange plastic sheet, for sure.

  6. ALTERNATE BREAK MAN HEAD AND I WILL BUY 2 PLEASEE

  7. gonna have to wait like a year for this but oh my god it will be so worth it, 10/10 wave with snake man and the penpen too

  8. Unexpected. I was personally hoping Proto Man/Bass could be a Mega Man equivalent in some waves, but this will do fine. Hope the scarf has *some* motion.

    Break Man head would be cool, but I’d kinda rather a visor that at least tries to have the “sheen” you usually see in sprites and artwork. That’s basically Proto Man’s eyes.

    1. The visor lools like its translucent plastic.

      Delete
    2. It sort of does, @shrap, good observation. It definitely looks like a separate piece of plastic inset into the head.

      It also looks like maybe the "smirk" is a separate piece, so that could be how we get Break Man; maybe that part of the head can be swapped with the Break Man mask and probably a whistling mouth. That configuration doesn't account for Break Man's altered ear bits though.

      I hope the production model ends up with a really dark but translucent visor.

      Delete
    3. The visor does look really shiny actually. Alright, I’ll let ‘em off for that.

      …Am I crazy, or does he not have a nose? Now we know where Ice Man got his!

      Delete
    4. Yeah, it could be the lighting, but it does look like he's missing his nose. Hopefully that gets fixed.
      Could totally use the Ice Man pinching/blowing/cupped hand to do a nose-stealing scene though...

      Delete
    5. YouTube channel "A Toy Kinda Mood" just posted an interview with Juhn from Jada, and they zoomed-in on Proto Man so that his nose was visible. It's pretty small, like Mega Man's, but it's there, so that other photo where he looks like he has no nose was just a result of the bright/direct lighting.

      Delete
  9. There is no way he doesn't come with a Break Man helmet... It would suck if his second head was just the same with a frown.

    ReplyDelete
  10. His mouth, it looks like a Costume from Smash Bros

    ReplyDelete
  11. Well, that's pretty nice, I hope he's got the Break Man helmet as a bonus

    ReplyDelete
  12. I called it too! This is awesome!

  13. Dude in the official Jada video short saying "Proto Shield Mega Man" and "Snake-Eyes" ... ugh.

  15. Can't wait for this figure, we've been long overdue for a modern Protoman figure.
