         I certainly didn’t make it to Comic Con this year – not a very good swimmer. But Daniel, an old high school pal of mine, did make his way over. I didn’t want to burden him too much, but I asked him to take pictures of any Mega Man stuff he happened […]

Last week was full of fun and excitement as the San Diego Comic-Con brought news not only of the Mega Man/Sonic the Hedgehog crossover from Archie Comics, but also of the new Bandai D-Arts Mega Man X toys seen at the Bluefin/Tamashii Nations booth. And now that the buzz from the con has died down […]

  Even after wrapping up this contest, it still haunts me! As promised, Tabby and I have collected together all the entries for your viewing pleasure. I think when you look over them, you’ll come to understand why we had so much trouble deciding on a winner. Be warned, this is a very image intensive post […]

Click to embiggen. Just ask a Transformers fan: Where the official toy companies fail to come through, you can often count on the fans to do something impressive. That is, when Hasbro failed to come through with things such as a new version of Springer, the giant Devastator, or even a trailer for Ultra Magnus, […]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I sort of hate to admit this, but being able to announce these winners lifts a huge weight off my shoulders. This is far from the first time I’ve had to apologize for the lateness of a contest this year, but I’d like to explain something. See, I love doing contests that encourage you […]

What’s better than Zero? Well, depending on the game (and how liberal you are about code usage, in some cases), the answer would be “Zero in black.” First appearing in Mega Man X2 as a result of Sigma’s failure to “study the blueprints closely” (maybe he’s color blind?), the black-armored Zero has become something of […]

First of all, yes, the judging for the Zero Type 2 contest is still ongoing. There are a number of amazing entries, and the judging is coming much more difficultly than we expected. This is in part because of the very loose standards for what to evaluate entries on. Bear with us a little longer; […]

         Yep, Bandai’s D-Arts VAVA figure (Vile to us) is now shipping in Japan. This was a Tamashi Web exclusive here, and while those in North America should be able to buy it via the regular means, there was only a short window of time that people in Japan could order from Bandai directly. Perhaps […]

Zero is pretty much the coolest character ever. You actually can’t disagree with that. You can TRY to, but it just won’t come out; it’s physically impossible. If you can hear yourself think otherwise, or see it written by someone else, it’s just a distortion of reality caused by errant gamma rays bouncing off microscopic […]

And it’s so intense. Vile (known as VAVA in Japan) is getting powered up with a second shoulder cannon for his Bandai Premium release. Unlike in North America, VAVA is being released in Japan as an online exclusive figure. Orders have opened up, and will run through to April 9th; not an especially long time […]

What a great way to kick off this year of contests and Mega Man’s 25th anniversary with an Iwamoto tribute. You all stepped up and went above and beyond! Alas, there must only be one. That one would be… Fuzz Buzz! Their entry consisted of an early touching scene in the manga, of X comforting […]

Hey, look at that! We’re topical! But in all seriousness: in case you didn’t figure it out before, the new figure being shown off on Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA’s Facebook page was everyone’s favorite smack-talking purple Maverick, Vile. And now, they have several new pictures available in their gallery, including a number of accessories. We […]
