This is actually a new version of an existing kit. Kotobukiya creates Mega Man X Force Armor sets, and different variants change the look of the armor to reflect different in-game abilities. It’s inspired by the Magma Dragon abilities and Ryuenjin, with the kit having a larger than usual Plasma Charge Shot effect that could be paired with other models in the series. The exact number of pieces in the kit weren’t shared, beyond the estimated 201~400, but the final project will give people an articulated 1/12 scale figure that could be displayed with the armor on or off.

Here’s a better look at this Mega Man X variant.

We’ve honestly known about this new Mega Man X model for quite some time. Prototype pictures of the figure appeared back in May 2020. It also was a part of the Kotobukiya Expo 2020 Winter stream.

The Mega Man X Force Armor Rising Fire model kit will appear in June 2021 in Japan and July 2021 in North America. Pre-orders cost $79.99 at the Kotobukiya online storefront.
