Kotobukiya Mega Man: Rockman Plastic Model Kit

Es una muy buena figura, recomendable para los que les gusten los model kits pero al momento de mover las articulaciones algunas son muy duras o se le caen, pero eso se arregla modificado tu mismo las partes, para los que les gusta hacer eso es bueno claro

It's an awesome item and fun to put together, very well made!

This was the first model kit I purchased from Kotobukiya's Mega Man / Rockman line, I have since purchased Proto Man (Kotobukiya Mega Man: Protoman Plastic Model Kit) and Roll( Kotobukiya Mega Man: Roll Plastic Model Kit ). For those unfamiliar with this style of model kits, the majority of the pieces come on plastic sprues, and you need to cut out the pieces and assemble them according to instructions. I recommend using small wire cutters for removing pieces from the sprues and either an x-acto knife or sanding paper to file down the excess bits of plastic as needed. This kit took about an hour to assemble, and it looks really good. It is a little meticulous for those unused to the kind of kit, but it really pays off.The first thing longtime Mega Man fans will appreciate about this kit is the size - it stand about 5.5 inches tall. I also have the Mega Man 8 Bandai kit from the late 90's, and he only measures up at around 3.5 inches. This kit has a much more durable look to it simply based on the size. Now let's talk accessories. Mega Man comes includes three different face plates - a neutral face, a happy face, and an angry face. They're pretty easy to switch out with each other, you just need to detach the head from the body before doing so. However, only two of the three sets of eyes come pre-painted - there is a sheet of decals you need to apply if you intend to use all three face plates. He comes with two pairs of hands, a clenched fist, and a hand to hold the E-Tank. The E-Tank is the only part of the kit I'm not crazy about, it's a light-blue that doesn't really feel like the right color, and you have to use a wet-apply decal to actually put the "E" on it. However, I don't display him holding the E-Tank anyway, so it doesn't bother me. He also includes the Mega Buster, which easily switches out with either normal forearm piece. Other than the E-tank, the kit looks really good once assembled. If the coloring feels off to people, they always have the option to paint the kit after assembly, and I'm just not that concerned about it looking perfect. The instructions do include a recommended color guide for those interested in the painting outlet, though. Finally, there is a pretty neat translucent yellow energy shot, and a translucent blue charged shot, which can attach to the tip of the Buster Cannon.Overall a great model kit! Joints are solid, posability is great for a plastic kit, and it looks really good with no additional work after assembly. Please note that I only gave the kit 3/5 stars for durability because, although this is pretty impressive for what I've come to expect from plastic kits, it is a model kit first, action figure second, and needs to be treated appropriately. This is something for collectors/serious enthusiasts, not kids. Check out the photo which I will upload shortly after this review with all three of the currently available Rockman/Mega Man kits.

arrived way earlier then expected, the box was nice and shiny, no missing parts or anythingand i finally have a megaman to guard my wallet

When I first heard that this kit was being offered overseas, I grew interested. It's rare to see model kits of this nature outside of Japan. As a gamer, I grew up with a few of the Mega Man games, so this piqued my interest for a while. I was in for a surprise when I got it in the mail.The instructions for assembling the model itself are detailed, so you'll know what to do step by step- each part is labeled for your convenience. By the time I finished, I was surprised to how it came out.The folks at Kotobuyika did a good job at capturing Mega Man's over all characteristics. Fora model only 5 inches tall, I've taken a liking to it, displaying it on my desk at home.The model has inter- changable parts, which include hands to hold the energy can, or E-can, as longtime fans know it as, two fists, and the Mega Buster (comes with two other pieces for the 'standard shot' and 'charged shot' effects, ). Mega himself has three expression pieces for his face: neutral, happy, and aggressive(like he was fighting Dr. Wily's robots, which work well when coupled with the buster). There are also two blank 'eye' pieces which can be used to create your own expressions- I recommend that first that you're good with paint attempting this.There's even a paint guide on the back of the instructions,if you end up painting to model to match one of Mega Man's numerous color schemes, but want to return to the original 'blue' motif.I will offer some advice when assembling the model:When removing the pieces from their grids,I recommend using a hobby knife to carefully cut them loose, and a soft file for rubbing down the leftover plastic on the pieces for a smoother look on the final assembly. Second, follow the instructions carefully when applying the sticker decals- they are not the easiest things to work with.This was my first model kit, and despite a rough spot or two, I'm quite fond of it. I recommend it if you're either a model builder, or a Mega Man fan.
