Hey guys just an old school gamer that loves talking video games and hopes to help the industry any way possible. Love the 80's and 90's!

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A slightly different #shelfiesunday post than usual: The vinyl record collection!

With the release of the Mega Man Zero/ZX set from Laced, my record display is officially at max capacity with some albums now being stacked behind what you see here.

Thinking about how to approach things moving forward. I could buy another one of these stands and just have them side-by-side. Once @lamegenie ships their upcoming MM2 album, and @bitbrigade releases their MMX album, I'll be able to fill up another entire stand. But as nice as I think it'll look, it will also take up a good bit of space, so something I'll have to think about!

FINALLY getting around to sharing some photos of my completed Sigma kit!

I'll be honest, I kinda had a love-hate relationship with this kit. Of course it was really cool to put Sigma together, and it's a very nice size kit at that. *Most* of the assembly went smoothly, except for one side of his chest piece which didn't quite fit together right and where I unfortunately caused some slight discoloration. 🤬

Well, the good news is his cape covers it up and that's how I intend to display him. And boy, does he look really menacing all suited up and towering over X! All in all it turned out pretty well and glad to have him in the display case awaiting future kits. 🙂

Snagged the first issue earlier this week of the new Mega Man: Gear Masters comic from @udonent!

This comic will be a mini-series (I'm guessing 5 issues, similar to the recent X comic), and as you might guess, is set during the events of Mega Man 11.

Considering how much coverage we've had of the NES-era over the years, I think it's nice that we're getting some further character development from MM11. I always considered it a solid title and this is a nice opportunity for it to further stake its own place in the franchise even after Dual Override comes out.

Happy Friday everyone! Finishing off the week by sharing the other two Mega Man @funko Pops from the new wave, X and Zero!

We technically already have a couple of X Pops from prior waves, ones that came in two packs with Rocket for Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, but here we have him in all his glory featuring a new pose and once again a nice metallic sheen to his armor.

With that said, this is Zero's first entry into the full-sized Pops line, and I have to say, even being more of an X fan myself, I think Zero's Pop is actually really cool. His pose is great, his Z-Saber looks sharp and even his armor is quite detailed for a Pops figure. Pretty cool additions to the collection! 😃

I think it's a fitting day to share an addition to the @funko collection: Proto Man!

With the release of a new Mega Man: Dual Override trailer featuring some sweet gameplay footage of Proto Man, I finally snapped some photos of his "second edition" Funko Pop which released not too long ago.

This is part of a wave featuring Proto Man, X, and Zero. I just got X and Zero as well so will eventually post those, but I think today should be reserved for Blues himself.

As you can see, he has a different pose from his OG version which came out in 2016, and more of a metallic sheen to his red armor. One interesting thing I noticed was that the new version is also slightly larger than the original one, with just a bit more detail around things like his buster, scarf, and shield as well. Pretty neat!

Sigma has finally arrived!

Just as I wrap up my Iris kit, the big villain himself makes an appearance at my front door and commands to be assembled so he can crush those pesky maverick hunters once and for all. 😄

Looking forward to getting him started here soon!

Ok, so what are the reactions to the huge trailer/content drop for Mega Man: Dual Override that happened today?

Biggest thing right off the bat: Protoman as a playable character! I know this was something a lot of fans (including myself) wanted to see considering his absence in MM11. And his artwork reveal is great.

Second: The custom chip system that was teased. Looks like you'll get to choose a combination of at least several chips to fully customize your playstyle. This might be the most in-depth system we've had in a Classic series game, and I'm looking forward to learning more about it.

Next up: Our first robot master reveal with Twinkle Girl (and a return cameo of Astro Man)! I'm intrigued at the prospect of re-fighting prior game bosses and hope there's a lot of replayability there, whether it's part of the story or some kind of challenge mode.

Finally, we get another look at the new "Override" system, which seems to be somewhat similar to the Double Gear system's Power Gear, but apparently results in some form of damage to yourself in order to use it. I'm also assuming each weapon has a unique "override" attack.

The only thing I wished we would have seen is a month attached to the release year, but hopefully we're looking at a first half of 2027 release! 🙂

Iris is complete! 💯

This was a fun and fairly straightforward kit, and it was a nice change of pace from the usual ones. No real issues with any of the pieces and overall I'm quite happy with how she turned out.

I do find it interesting that @kotobukiya_official advertised this kit as the "Iris X4 Version", which makes it sound like we may get other versions of her at some point? As you can see, she doesn't come with any weapons or special effect pieces (Colonel's core crystal would've been nice IMO), but does come with hands that can hold a saber.

Her hair is quite heavy so it makes balancing her a little tricky. I didn't feel like doing too much, since I worry that the longer I try to do poses the more likely I am to break something. But all in all another solid addition to the Koto line. Now, next one up is you know who... 😁

Introducing the next statue for the @banpresto_global Grandista line: MegaMan.EXE!

I really like the sculpts of this line. It's a softer plastic that feels higher quality and the colors are always on point. Standing close to 10 inches tall, these are arguably some of the nicest statues you can get for a very reasonable price point.

I'm glad they decided to switch things up with this statue and use a pose that's essentially mirrored from the classic Mega Man, plus the clenching fist being less offset as well. Another nice addition to the case and who knows, maybe we'll see some X or Zero statues someday? 😁

Comic bonanza to end the week!

Swung by my local shop the other day to snag both the fifth and final issue of the X comic (wrapping up the events of X1) as well as the Dr. Wily one-shot by @udonent! Looking forward to reading each of these, especially the Wily comic. The X comic must have done well, because Udon has already teased a prequel one-shot and X2 adaptation at SDCC!

Talk about timing, because then in the mail I get Volume 1 of Mega Man Adventures! This full-size hardcover collects the first 12 issues of the Archie Mega Man comic that ran back in 2011-2015, plus a new short story made just for this collection.

Yes, Udon got the rights to republish these and I couldn't be more excited. I admittedly didn't start reading the Archie comics until the trade paperbacks were released and they decided to stop after Volume 8 of 12. I never bought the individual issues so reading these again (and some for the first time) will be great. I'm really hoping Udon sticks through it and collects the entire line.

If you're interested in how the new hardcovers from Udon stack up to the older Archie TPBs, I've included a comparison. You can see how much larger the Udon books are which is great. 😃

Just a little weekend gaming!

Working on my Iris kit, I came to the realization that I only had one outstanding trophy on the Mega Man X Legacy Collection, and it was to beat X4 as Zero. Now I love Zero, but having always been more of an X fan, didn't bother playing through X4 as him when I first got the collection.

So I decided to sit down this weekend and finally get it done. I'll always say that playing as Zero is a bigger challenge. Instead of safely blasting everything from a distance, you definitely need to learn boss patterns, get an attack in, and get away a lot more.

The boss rush and Sigma were definitely the hardest parts for me, but after spending some lives re-learning Sigma's patterns, I was able to get through his first two forms without getting hit and then just tanked damage on the final form until I beat the game and finally wrapped up the platinum! 🏆

Happy #megamanmonday! I've been holding out on doing a post because my Iris kit was scheduled to come in the mail this week, and low and behold it came a couple days early! It's about time I have a new kit to assemble. 😁
