Bandai's Upcoming D-Arts Vava
Why bandai? WHY!?
One of the most iconic villains in the X series is now in D-Arts form but as the pic implies... Another Tamashii Web Exclusive...
Also known as Vile in the US, if you don't know this guy then, poor you, he's one of the major villains in Rockman X and also returned in X8 iirc, he's also the guy responsible for Zero's first death since Zero had to heroically rescue X from being crushed by this guy which makes this guy so epic. XD
Anyway, he's pretty cool for his design really and he comes with quite neat accessories, such as a "wine" glass, two shoulder cannons and even a cannon on his knee (which I never knew that it existed) along with an effect part for it.

Vava is schedules for a June release for 3,990 yen. Images and info from Tamashii Web Shop's product page.
Bandai's Upcoming D-Arts Zero -Type-2-
Finally the Zero that most people know and love!
Already ordered this but heck, epic news is epic indeed.
Seeming coming with a light saber-ish Z-Saber, I would like to think that it's the X6 Saber since it's thin though it's not in the shape of a katana XD But anyway, Zero fans rejoice as there is also an inclusion of the typical crescent type saber from X3-X5; Zero will also come with a new and updated Buster!
Zero Type-2 is scheduled again for a May release and is priced at 3,675 yen. Images and info from tamashii's product page.

September Hauls: Humanoids
Too late of a post actually
I almost forgot to post it. XD
Well, I was supposedly going to post it together with my other haul but one robot here proved to give me another "lucky" purchase as this time, he's got a WHOLE friggin' arm missing and luckily thanks to my mom's help, I was able to refund it and that's Bludgeon lol. I'll probably be getting another piece by Friday (hopefully, there are still stocks of him left for clearance >.<)
Lat Miku also arrived before the Best of Anime weekend so I picked her up asap along with Zero who arrived much much earlier. Reviews of these 3 will probably be up in around 2 weeks time I guess. XD Anyway, there's still one more haulage left for the month >:)

June Hauls: Wild Form and Corrected Hand
hahaha, you might've gotten already what the second means XD
But yeah, today's take homes are these two (the brown box is just an outer shell)
Rockman X isn't really much of a haul since he's a replacement for the problem I had on my first one, good thing my supplier agreed to have it replaced despite taking it quite a long time (3 week?) so yeah, here he is and Sharo won't be crying anymore. XD
The other is the real haul, it's an SIC but who? Wild? It's none other Wild Chalice and with this, I close down the Blade line for my SICs since I don't really want Leangle and Garren since I don't like them :p So yeah, a surprise trollery by Bandai this is since before the event where he was re-released as another event exclusive and then this (online release), he was going for ridiculously high prices :o

Oh yeah, and for those who don't know the problem with X, he's already been reviewed and the problem's stated there XD.

Review: [Bandai] D-Arts Rockman X
| Figure Information | |
| Manufacturer: | Bandai |
| Origin Series: | Rockman X |
| Scale: | Non-Scale |
| Height: | Approximately 12.5cm tall |
| Original Price: | 3,465 Yen |
| Figure Box: |
D-Arts X's box is really gorgeous, I mean, I love blue boxes (if you've noticed in past reviews XD) But yeah, it's really just nicely done, the X touch on the box is pretty good and kind of reflects how the X is usually colored in the games. And the back (though I have no pics again) is amazing, there's this specs of X's armors which was neatly done and the box is pretty much average SHF size, so, pretty cool. :>
| Figure Details: |
X's details are remarkable the metallic blue is definitely a great touch and it's not a fingerprint magnet as well, definitely a huge improvement since X most likely was an improvement over the semi model kit also by bandai many years ago. The details are really great and I even just noticed that there are two lines on the back of his helm.
What's even more amazing is that all of red cores found in X's armor are made of similar material used for the rider's exterior eyes, so yeah, despite X's simple design, the overall sculpt is magnificent! Nothing's really off and the QC with the paint is pretty nice as well.

| Accessories: |
So yeah, X's accessories consists of a pair of open hands a right fist and a righ arm which you can use to swap with his X buster since as we all know that his other isn't always in buster mode. X also has two faces, an shouting one and an angry/pinch one. And lastly, he also has effect parts, one for rapid fire bullets and the other being the charged buster shot; there's also a tip replacement for his buster so you can insert the effect parts' pegs onto his buster.
Unfortunately, even if I mentioned above that there's a right fist, prone to QCs as they are, I got another unlucky situation here, where I got a double left fist instead of having a right fist. I didn't really notice it was a double until I was about to use the right arm. So yeah, ffffff, so unlucky, but anyway, good thing X's right arm is supposed to be (even by default) his X buster, so, yeah, given my situation, I took a for the lulz shot of X, and for MFC readers, some of you probably seen it already, I've uploaded it and entitled it "Something is wrong with X" ahahaha.
But yeah, I won't really deduct it on the accessories section or any other section, just really unlucky I guess but still lol Bandai, fail QC XD But anyway, I'm having it returned to my supplier on the coming weekend to see if I could still get a replacement. ^^
| Articulation: |
Now to articulation and I'll start again with the neck, X's joint is made up of two ball joints, the upper allowing you to extend his neck over so that he can look up to a good extent while the lower being the opposite, looking down, of course since it's ball jointed, you can tilt X's neck sideways if the pose call for it.
His shoulder joint is pegged via ball joint again but there's also a hinge that allows you to open his arms sidewards, X also has a bicep swivel so you can rotate his arms as needed for some poses. X's elbow joints consists of a double jointed hinge.
Because of the ball jointed shoulders, you can easily rotate his rotate his arms 360 because of a non constraining shoulder pad as well. The buster shows also no such added limitation as his normal arm.

Torso doesn't do much as usual, only so you can adjust his body downwards and such.
Similarly to his arm articulation, his knees are double jointed knees, but the catch is his hips is a pretty well made joint, consisting of two ball joint connectors which allows quite some flexing with the black part being just a cover which also adjusts based on how you move the joints though the said joints also doesn't allow any great extension such as a 90 bend but still pretty good. Iirc, X also has a thigh swivel; lastly, his ankles are made of quite unique joints as well, a combination of good of ball joint and hinge which pretty much make the ankles really flexible.
Now, for additional articulation the rapid fire has swivels at the middle point of the 2nd and 3rd shots and the catch is you can arrange this rapid fire effect in two ways. Pretty cool gimmick by bandai and adds much more fun factor for posing X.
So yeah, if ever you're wondering if the buster can be on X's left arm, then, it's a YES. :D
So yeah, combined with the effect parts and all, X is ridiculously well articulated and with the piece I got, the joints are really tight. But yeah because of his well made effect parts the poseability becomes many times more fun and yeah, he can pretty much capture similar actions in the game and even more. A really fun articulated figure overall if I must say.
| Final Thoughts: |
So yeah, X is just magnificent and of all of my currently released D-Arts, X is the one that takes home the cake, well detailed, the accessories are good. Truly an impressive piece of articulated work and despite Bandai labeling him as 12.5cm, he actually looks taller than War Greymon. So yeah, fan or not of the Rockman series, I'd definitely suggest taking home X. He's just THAT good, at least, for me anyway. And the price is typical SHF and you actually get a lot more.
