Hello, X9 forums. I'm a new user who was lead here by a co-worker, because I fully support Mega Man for various reasons. On to the point of the topic.

D-Arts Mega Man toys are the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Bandai Japan did a really good job this time. A REALLY good job. Interchangeable parts including faces, high, accurate detail to the first X game, it's all quite brilliant. Kotobukiya also did an amazing job on the original Mega Man series figures with the Rock, Blues and Roll. This all has me thinking.....

Where in the world are the villains?

The only villains for Mega Man I have ever seen them make toys of have either been by cheap companies and were odd looking, not to mention put together very poorly, or model kits that only give you two options. (Sword Man and Tengu Man for the anniversary model kits). It has me wondering why the companies who actually know what they are doing haven't made villains to go with our heroes yet.

Sure, I love Mega Man, Proto Man, X and Zero, but I have bought nearly every incarnation of each of them, and I can only pose X and Zero fist bumping or back-to-back so many times before I feel I need a bit more variety. Don't you think it would be cool to at least have a Cut Man, or a Launch Octopus sitting on your desk with your other figures?

I personally would adore a Storm Eagle, hell, I would even take Flame Hyenard (For those of you who don't remember him, let me refresh your memory. BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!) if it meant I could have something other than the standard two they keep re producing.

What figures would you like to see made, whether they are villains of any series or not?

Hopefully Vile would be next in the D-Arts Line, since he ranked high in the official polls and they are sticking to the X1 license. Sigma would be really cool too, but im not holding any hopes. Sadly, i dont think well ever see any good figures of the Mavericks. They would not sell as hot as the main chars for the majority of people and each of them would require unique sculpting and maybe even unique joints.

Cut Man would be easy. Recolor Mega Man's mold, sculpt a simple head, and add in scissor cutter accessories.

How about a life size sigma final from from X5??

They could do a few to see how they sell, or make them limited editions. With a lot of toy lines, obscure characters often end up being the most sought after somewhere down the line. They could totally do a Storm Eagle, considering his humanoid shape with variations here and there, maybe even Boomer Kuwanger if they are feeling lucky.

I would also like to see Bandai do a Bass.

I remember owning a few baddies when I was a kid, Similar to the D-Arts figures but perhaps not quite as intricate. Bass and Vile, Cutman and Gutsman, I used to pit them against thier respective megamen, or switch it up if i got bored, and it was hours of fun. Granted this was more then ten years ago, but the baddies did exist, if only for a short time. I remember cutman being able to shoot one of his little cutters from his hand cannon, and Vile came wiith a little mounted shoulder gun you could remove. It wasn't much, but they were hella fun back in the good ol days. Remake toys like that but add a few things or just polish the work, and I'd buy them, if for nothing other than the sense of nostalgia.

Dynamo. Gate (either form) Vile V(X8) or Cross Fire X (CM) are what I would like. Massimo would be cool too. Bulk characters be cool in toys.

Though really, Sigma needs it. I always favored the look of his X1 and x5 forms.

I'd love to see a a figure of Sigma's Terminator-esque form from X6.

Gate would make an awesome figure... He looks just so... TOY-able. and he's shiny too.

With D Arts, that might just be a possibility.
