Rock and X and Zero and EXE, oh my!

Rock the casbah.

Gorgeous models abound at the yearly gathering in Japan.

The 2013 Winter Wonder Festival is taking place in Japan this weekend. The Rockman offerings seem a little sparse this time around, compared to last year’s HOBBY ROCK bonanza. However, once the event kicks off, even more custom and homebrew kits may surface. For now, you can take a look at what we’ve managed to […]

Another Wonder Festival has come and gone. Being in the US, I’m a bit far from the action, but I did still manage to find a bit of coverage. Blogger N2 caught a bit of the Rockman action at the event, and you can see the above and more at his blog, split into a […]

   Wonder Fest, as you may know, is a twice a year super-assembly for model and figure-making fans. And lately, there’s been more and more Rockman wares available by dedicated garage artists. Sadly, it does not appear that Hobby Rock is organizing again for this event, unless they plan to release a close call announcement […]

Hey, everybody! It’s the January MegaCa-Oh, who am I kidding? It’s February. I know it. You know it. It’s time to just accept it.

For you fans of awesome Rockman garage kits and figures you’ll probably never be able to buy, things got a lot easier to keep track of with the opening of Hobby Rock. This site lists the various Rockman kits planned to be at the Winter 2012 Wonder Festival, on February 12th, with product pics and […]

Here’s a real interesting one for you figure and model fans. Perhaps you’re familiar with Merti, an original character in Yoshihiro Iwamoto’s Rockman X manga series. I never really thought she looked like much of a Rockman-esque character, but then I don’t see a lot of guys complaining… Today Iwamoto put up a teaser page […]

This week has certainly made a lot of people cry. But one group that’s been precariously avoided thus far is collectors of all things Rockman. Well, now it’s your turn! Cafe Reo and Union Creative are releasing two limited edition Dot Straps at this summer’s Wonder Festival, scheduled to go on today only in Japan. […]
