Nothing on the Waves 3 and 4 of Mega Man...
Well, Rumor has it that wave 3 will be ready for preorder at Comic Con's date.
Mega Man 2 intro Mega Man with Rock head from wave 3 and Protoman from wave 4 are my main interests. It bothers me that Bomb Man and Gutsman have been skipped and now we're getting Robot Masters from other games. But here's the thing: Where are the non-Robot Masters?
I'm talking about Auto, the 3 Doctors, Roll, Kalinka... he'll some enemies could be made with little new parts.
Enter Sniper Joe:
Using the Protoman body with a new head, new arm, new shield and we're done. But if faithfulness to sprites is a thing, they could get away with a Protoman shield repaint. Personally I'd prefer all new parts, but I wouldn't get angry if Protoman's shield is reused so we can get a different character.
Roll has 3 looks 1-7, 8, 11.
I would like a 1-7 AND a 8 versions of Roll. BUT if we can only pick a single version, I go with 8.
My childhood Rival may get mad at me for blaspheming by picking 8 over TRUE Mega Man stuff... but I have my reasons:
Main Reason is Marvel vs Capcom. Let's not pretend that half of the folks who are buying Jada's Capcom figures aren't doing it for the sake of MVC. Hell, even Hasbro is leaning on Jada so they've (Hasbro) been pushing the M part of MVC while Jada pushes the C in MVC. Even StormCo is contributing to closer to true 1:12 with their Storm Arena figures. Remember that Morrigan and Lilith are floating around.I'm looking at Mega Man as a reference for articulation and engineering; I can see how Hypothetically, a Kalinka could share SOME parts with Roll 8:
Few things:
-None of the dresses will be a single piece overlay. This year's Advent Calendar FTC female announcer will show why.
-I'm overthinkong things and just defeated my Pro-MM8 Roll argument:
Soft goods. Jada does them, see Cyberpunk figures.
Think about it:
You take the MM1 Roll body paint it like a black bodysuit with new boots (lower leg and feet) and add the Kalinka head and you're done. No need for crazy forearm modifications or ankle modifications. For Mm 1-7 Roll, a soft goods dress on her body and Roll was he name-O. Dress needs to be wired at skirt edge like Super7 Alice. Have her crotch painted white and call it a day. For accessories her broom and Buster attachment. Maybe even a subtle nod to RS Roll with a Vacuum attachment for her blaster. The broom is a nod to MM Powered up, where Roll is playable.
For MM8 Roll, we need to work harder; meaning another sleeveless soft goods dress with the white overlay hiding the sculpted black sleeves of her dress. This is to be able to swap her arm for the Roll Buster with ease.
For accessories, the Roll Buster, the bouquet and maybe an E-tank for Mega Man or her.
The 3 Doctors are a pain, since none can share parts.
But since I mentioned Kalinka as a way to reuse Roll's body, I have to add Dr. Cossack.
For Wahwee, I'd prefer a 1-5, 7 first. Then 8 and finally Mr.X...
For Doctor Light, I want 2 versions:
Normal Light and
Maybe that would be the start of the Megaman X line.
