Fans of the Megaman franchise have had a pretty good year. Rockman plamo, gashapon, and figures have finally become widespread within the past 12 months. Bandai's introduction of D-Arts X certainly got people excited, as it heralded a new chance for high quality figures. While we'll have to wait until next month for him to be released, we can already set sights on the next figure on the horizon, none other than X's partner, Zero.
Zero is certainly looking great these days. Just like X did, he comes packed with a blast effect part for the Z-buster and full poseability. Yes, even the tail of hair can be posed how you please. The promo shots haven't displayed a Z-saber, but I find it hard to imagine that they'll let this release go without it. Zero is currently scheduled for a release in September for US$39.99. Given that X's yen price was 3,300 yen, after conversion, the US price is actually the cheapest. For once, this side of the Pacific gets the better deal.
Check out the images to see if Zero is up to code for your pre-order needs.

Going by the promo shots, this RAH Hatsune Miku is pretty well made. Medicom has captured her blank stare and twin tails quite well. I'm only mostly kidding. If you're undaunted by Miku saturation, then this will surely be a ...
