As longtime fans know, for many years, Bandai’s Rockman 8 Ironbuster Blues model kit long stood as perhaps the best example of an action figure or model kit based on the prototypical older brother of the Blue Bomber. But more recently, a company by the name of Kotobukiya has gotten into the model kit game […]

The term “robot” celebrated its 90th anniversary this week, after first appearing in the play R.U.R. (“Rossum’s Universal Robots”) by Karel Čapek. To celebrate the creation of one of the greatest concepts to appear in science fiction and science fact alike, Paste Magazine has assembled a list of “The 40 Best Robots of All Time,” […]

Those who have been interested in the Rockman Trading Figures from Bandai may have already purchased them from various outlets online, but a report from Protodude’s Rockman Corner reveals that there is now a new option available: Toys “Я” Us. However, don’t plan a trip to your nearest location just yet: odds are, you won’t […]

We’ve heard the rumors, and we’ve seen the plans. Now, at long last, those who have eagerly awaited the chance to order their very own Kotobukiya Mega Man figures have their chance! Well, almost; “pre-orders” are what Entertainment Earth is taking for the Kotobukiya versions of Mega Man, his sister Roll, and his mysterious older […]

Well, this is nothing short of a bit embarrassing on my part. As you may recall, we told you back in August that to celebrate the release of Mega Man Megamix to a North American audience, UDON was bringing its creator, Hitoshi Ariga, over for FanExpo Canada.
