Kotobukiya gave us a sneak peek during the All Japan Model & Hobby Show, and now they've officially revealed the price and release date for the Premium Charge Shot edition of MM11 Mega Man.
As always, this model kit is sold exclusively on Kotobukiya's online store in Japan, but eventually, stores like Big Bad Toy Store will offer it to the rest of the world. (UPDATE: Now available on BBTS)
After the break, you can check out some images and the model kit specifications!
"This color variant uses a special iridescent coating that changes color depending on the light that resembles the in-game energy charge effect! The effect parts are also an iridescent red to recreate the look of the Power Gear being used!
The intricate part separation featured in the Mega Man X plastic model kits and the proportions and articulation achieved through CAD technology allows users to assemble Mega Man as if he stepped out of the game! Furthermore, the inclusion of four interchangeable face parts full of personality, the Buster, impressive Charge Shot effect parts, and other included items allow users to reenact various iconic scenes from Mega Man!"

At that price, I'll stick with the one I already have.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I'm fine with my regular color Mega Man.
DeleteYooo man this figure looks super nice! That iridescent sheen is clean! 56 bucks don't sound too bad to me tbh especially with the interchangeable parts. Nah, this is nice.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a quality make.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
The X they did kind of left a bad impression on me. The shine on mine is smeared and looks splotchy now. I'll pass on these variations.
ReplyDeleteI guess “Rockman Oil Spill Ver.” didn’t clear legal.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I can see what you mean. I like the colors, just kind of ambivalent about the price since I already have the first Koto Mega Man kit.
DeleteOh this isn't based off of the OG. I doubt the parts are interchangeable, but it'd be kinda neat...
DeleteI'll pass but hopefully those of you who pre ordered enjoy the kit. If it were plated instead of the fragile finish they use I'd probably be more open to buying it.
ReplyDeleteA Mega Man game with these visuals/aesthetic’s but more you know game-like and refined, would be way too sick. RE engine do your thing, if you have to go “realistic” make it like this for Mega Man.
ReplyDeleteSo….Mega Man 11?
DeleteI have absolutely ZERO interest in a realistic Rockman game.
DeleteIts fine as it is.
@Shrap I get that, but I don’t think RE is good at anything else. If it has to be RE, wouldn’t you rather this as a base than actually, I don’t know …. human looking uncanny realism?
Delete@the other Anon: Mega Man 11 looks nothing like this, by game-like and refined, I didn’t mean change the proportions and total lighting/shadows/reflections. I meant make it look less plastic in parts that stand out and more like, well, CG of the material they are going for…
@12:42 am, I get what you are saying but I don't think we will ever see Capcom do a high budget Mega Man game that really pushes the boundaries of the series and graphics. All they care about these days is Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter. I would play a high budget Mega Man game if it ever happened though.
DeleteRockman doesn't need to push the boundaries. It's a cartoonish world. It should stay that way. I don't care about graphics or realism. At all. Ever.
DeleteMeaning I dont need Rockman to look like Avatar. I am fine with it in 8 bit. You dont need RE for that.
Delete@Shrap, Rockman doesn't need to stay 8 bit. That has been done to death by now.
Delete@2:11 Agreed, there has been enough 8 bit Mega Man games. There is nothing wrong with wanting a good looking Mega Man game that is modern 2d or 3d.
DeleteLooks really nice!
ReplyDeleteAnd in other news: BBTS got X, Premium X, Zero and Nightmare Zero back in stock. I remember some of you were wanting Zero stock.
ReplyDeleteAnd in typical fashion, I ordered mine from the wrong supplier who still has no stock...
I managed to order mine elsewhere thankfully so it'll arrive months before BBTS.
DeleteYou can achieve the same effect with a blue sharpie :)
