Still doesn't look that good.

Maybe its better in person.

The face is still off. I just don't understand why they cannot made it actually look like the MegaMan face we know.

Flame · **Reply #1052 on:** April 25, 2013, 06:29:26 AM

Maybe it's a molds thing?

I really want it now that the face (to me) is far more satisfactory.

but it does cost 100 bucks.

But it is 10 inches tall, and has lights which are USB powered

I'm torn. Especially since Friday is the last day to preorder before it becomes exclusive to SDCC

I want to buy it, but I don't want to spend 100 bucks. (110 or so with shipping) but it's a 25th anniversary thing, so i want it more

Auugh, I didn't think this could happen, where in such a drought of mega Man material, Im actually torn between Mega Man products.

I'll still have myself enough to get UA X when that comes out in August, so it's not like I have to pick and choose there, Though Sigma might be out of the running for me depending on when he's released...

It's definitely better. I'll sleep on it. I do have more Saiyans to buy now that I got SSJ Gohan!

I think the main issue is that he isn't smiling.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1055 on:** April 25, 2013, 06:34:12 AM

There's that too!

Its a known fact that Figuarts ZERO are pretty poor in terms of statues.

I'd save your money.

Would you pay $75 for an action figure with 80's articulation and sculpting? (As in, not very good or accurate.)

Those are Gentle Giant's large scale figures. I've mentioned them before. They're meant to be displayed in the package, so they're not something I'm after.

As for Megaman... Dare I say it, but I personally think the MvsC figure had a better likeness!

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1058 on:** April 25, 2013, 06:46:22 AM

The D-Arts figure is still the nicest looking one, IMO. It's also poseable and cheaper!

Well if I were Mega Man, I probably wouldn't be smiling either with how my life is going.

You did? Huh.

I still find it incredibly goofy, wanting to buy large-scale replicas of old toys for inflated prices.

I knoooow, But i'm getting caught up by the "this is a 25th anniversary product to celebrate 25 years, and it will never really be available outside of this event except for rip off prices on ebay"

I remember always regretting missing out on the 10th anniversary statue because I was just too young to really be able to do much about it. Not like my parents were just going to say "SURE WHY NOT" and buy it. Mega Man 8 itself was my birthday present, and that was that. (also, 8 was my first Mega Man game, and my previous exposure to the series was only through the Ruby Spears show, which had by then been off the air for quite a while. So I wasn't nearly into the franchise enough yet to care that much at the time.

That was the 10th, and the 25th is one of those milestone anniversaries, which I don't want to miss out like last time...

That D-Arts figure is also a product to celebrate 25 years. And it looks better. That's my problem.

You know me. You know I have NO problem shelling out money for figures, model kits, and statues. I would buy this light up MM statue in a [tornado fang]ing heartbeat if it actually looked decent. The fact that I'm even debating buying it shows how much of a problem I have with it.

Yeah, it is a bit much. I'm an unboxer, so displaying items in the package doesn't work for me. I like good articulation in my large size action figures, as I use them for animation, so this Jumbo line also doesn't work for me. The only reason that I would even consider buying any of them is because for some parts of my collection, I'm a completist. If they come out with a nice jumbo Zuckuss vintage, I'd be very, very tempted.

But, the price is what deters me. The last Gentle Giant item I bought was a Zuckuss mini-bust on eBay for super cheap.

By the way, I mentioned the figures here.

I know that feel. Im debating whether it's worth it to support the franchise's 25 years for a statue that I think looks good, (though I will notice I can't call it "great") or miss out and hope some other anniversary down the road has a much better kind of exclusive statue, and get D-Arts Rock. I mean, yeah, it's also a 25th anniversary product, but it's more along the lines of the tons of products that get released around an anniversary, while the statue is THE anniversary item.

y'know?

I guess I'll have to sleep on it myself...

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1065 on:** April 25, 2013, 07:04:56 AM

Bottom line: it's $100 for a sub-par product. If they want your support, my support, and the fans support, then they should make the damn thing look good. How hard was it to actually mold a decent looking face?

D-Arts MegaMan is cheaper, looks better AND comes with Rush. It's vastly superior in EVERY way.
