Kotobukiya revealed a new selection of Mega Man model kits from various entries in the franchise. The new figures include Black Zero, a new Max Armor version, a Falcon Armor, and a revision to the original Mega Man plastic model kit. According to the company, these releases will be made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Mega Man X.
The Black Zero model is based on the upgrade version of Zero that appears from Mega Man X 4 onwards. Most notably, this new figure will include both blue and red parts for the forehead so as to also replicate the appearance of Fake Zero from Mega Man X2.
