Hey X, still have a reason to act all emo and depressed? A couple months back we reported on the announcement of a garage kit in the works for the original Rockman X manga character Merti. And not just any garage kit, but one officially endorsed by series author Yoshihiro Iwamoto. Mr. Iwamoto has been […]

Bandai is rolling out their Tamashii Nation 2011 event in Akihabara this November, from the 25th to the 27th.
