Bandai Tamashii Nations D Arts Megaman X Ultimate Armor Action Figure

Before we start with the review let's do a background check on this beautiful piece of armor.Ultimate Armor X debuted for the first time in MMX4 for the Sega Saturn and PS1(depending on the console at the time)as a cheat code that you would input in the game on the character selection. Once that was done and you start playing the game, you would see regular X in the game but instead of sporting the light blue colors on his body he would have purple instead, this is an indication that the code has been successfully inputted. Then afterwards you go and select any of the maverick boss's stage that you could get access to a Dr. Light's Capsule (doesn't matter which capsule, any will do), some people would go to the Web Spider Stage since is the easiest to get(however i prefer the Cyber Peacock stage for the reasons that i get a heart, a energy tank and the armor capsule all in one go). Once that's done and you get out of the armor capsule you will see X sporting an entire set of the armor and in a different color, blue instead of white color like the other previews armor upgrades. the highlight of this armor in the game is that you could do an ultimate attack called the Nova Strike as many time as you want, it is such a broken attack that pretty much you don't even need to use the boss's weapons in the majority of the game since not only this does a massive damage but it also gives you a temporary invincibility while performing the attack, thats how powerful and broken it is. (note: to get Zero's Black Armor just input the code on the character selection screen, however this armor doesn't do anything special for Zero except just turning his Armor color from red to black).Ultimate Armor X also returns again for 2 other games in the continuity:-MMX5: You have 2 ways to get the armor, you can get it by inputting a code at the characters select screen which it will allow you to start with it or by playing the game and reach the third final stage where you have to fight Zero/X or Maverick Zero depending who you're using and if Zero is a Maverick or not. You will need to use X in his regular form to be able to get this, otherwise the armor capsule won't appear. Just before the last area with the huge hole and a bunch floating platforms, you should see a small hole with a motionless platform hovering above. Jump down and slide down the right side of the hole, you'll eventually enter a secret room with the capsule which it will give you the Ultimate Armor. everything still remains the same except that instead of having the purple colors it would have the light blue colors instead.(note: you can do the same thing for Zero to get his Black Armor either trough a code or reaching the third final stage where the X's ultimate Armor Capsule would be).-MMX6: Again this armor returns for this game, the only way to get this armor is by inputting a special code on the title screen, you will hear a sound that it will indicate you that the code has been successfully inputted. Once you start the game you will see X sporting the Ultimate Armor, his effects still remains the same, the only change that it had is that instead of sporting the dark blue color in the armor is changed to black instead. (note: you can also get Zero's black armor in the game by inputting a code, however you can only have one code inputted at a time. you cannot have both X's Ultimate Armor or Zero's Black Armor at same time.Truly this armor would go down in history as the most powerful of all.Now to the review of the figure:Bandai has decided to release for the D-arts Megaman X line the most powerful armor of all, the Ultimate Armor X, truly they capture the image of the armor just like how it looks like in the official artworks. The level of detail is incredible watching the internal mechanical parts of X in the Ultimate Armor is nice, now how Bandai did that? well what they did is just simply mold the Blue transparent giving the details in the inside of the armor instead of the outside and then painted the inside with Silver to highlight those details to make them pop, i have to say that the effects works really well making it look like your watching really his internal parts. Articulation is pretty much the same as the previews D-arts Megaman X figures but a bit more solid, however i find the ankles of my figure's feet to be a bit tough than i would like but nothing to worry about. accessories wise the figure comes with:- 3 interchangeable faces: normal face(already on the figure)/another face looking to the left, and another face looking to the right while shouting.- 2 sets of hand: 2 open hands and 2 fist.- 1 Nova Strike Wings: this include with already attached gold wings on the side and the little black piece with the green jewel at the from, this pieces can be remove from the blue backpack piece to give it the close effect mode.- 1 ultimate X Buster: with 2 small fins that need to be attached on and another piece with a peg hole to replace the one with the jewel that is already on the Buster (this is for the shot effect parts.- 1 small green shot effect part.- 1 right arm: to replace where the Buster is attach on.Another thing to point out, the small piece in X chest can be remove, this is only for the effect of the Nova Strike pose i believe but not sure. This figure is so awesome i love it but if i have to say some bad things of it i have to say it would be on exchanging the faces, trying to remove the helmet piece to change the face is a hassle specially when you have to be careful while trying to pull it out while trying to be careful to not break the 3 crest pieces, there not made of rubber but hard plastic. another problem issue is that one of the fins that you use to attach it to the buster has a small peg than the other, I'm concern this could break easily if not been careful. His buster shot effect part is kinda disappointing (yet accurate), is just a small little green shot and not the actual giant charge shot that you see in the games. You could try to replicated it by giving him the giant charge shot effect part from another figure like the one the D-arts Megaman X full Armor(the white armor)has if you have it but as its stand its a bit disappointing he doesn't have his own actual big Charge shot effect part.a side of having some stiff ankle joints, a hard time on pulling out the helmet front piece to change the face for another and no actual charge shot and a concern about the small peg of one of the buster fins, the figure is pretty much great.-pros-- accurate to the game.- high level of detail.- solid work.- good amount of accessories.-cons-- kinda stiff on the ankle joints (possible only on my figure)- hard changing faces which one could possibly break the crest in his forehead by accident.- smaller peg in one of the fins of the Buster which could break if not careful.- Buster shot is a small little green shot and not the actual big Charge Shot. (still accurate to the artwork)A side of having some stiff ankle joints, a hard time on pulling out the helmet front piece to change the face for another, no actual giant charge shot and a concern about the small peg of one of the buster fins, the figure is amazing. This figure is a great representation to the actual game, i love the work that Bandai did and i hope to see more of X's other armors in the future, specially those from the Mega mission cards the EX armor set that Bandai did years ago in the model kit line. I recommend everyone to get this guy ASAP before the scalpers starts overpricing this like crazy, trust me you will not be disappointed.

After buying a lot of "high end" type figures, Bandai Tamashii D Arts figures are without a question my favorite.The overall quality to them is fantastic, the level of detail is outstanding and they're super pose-able. They're built in such a way that they're relatively hard to break since most of its parts are built to be popped back on easily. An excellent addition to any Mega Man fan's collection. The blue flourish on the armor looks really nice up close. At a price range of around $40 bucks, it's definitely worth it. The Ultimate Armor figure doesn't come with much compared to the other X's and figures in the set, but still it looks really nice on its own.

This figure is just awesome, i have always loved Megaman X. It looks great and it is beautiful. The only problem is that the torso articulation is very loose. But i am really happy now that i got this figure.

I was super hyped for this figure to hit my doorstep, and when it finally did, I was exceptionally giddy -as sad as that sounds; the highlight of my day was this figure- and couldn't wait to get it out of the packaging. With all the tape carefully cut and the plastic casing gently lifted... his head came off. But that wasn't all. His forearms kept coming off and one of the legs is slightly disjointed. It was all possibly the fault of those packaging this particular unit, and not the figure or manufacturer itself, but I noticed this to be a sort of trend with the "X" figures of the line -there are three of them, this is the third, and the other two I have had similar issues straight out of the box. I can overlook it though; it doesn't affect posing the figure any, just getting it HOW you want to without falling apart.Like the other figures in the line, it's got excellent detail and excellent articulation. It comes with two additional face places, an extra arm part in case you'd rather omit the buster gun from your pose, and three different hand pieces, along with the jetpack module this particular armored form of X is known for. Only, the wings fit a little loosely and are too easily removed -one slipped right out when at an angle. The fins that go on the side of the buster, however, fit just fine and stay right where you put them. The effect part that comes with it is only to reference the official character artwork, and, frankly, is a little weak, but I suppose the massive plasma shot would be a little too excessive and weigh down the figure.All in all, my experience with this figure is a pretty good one, and would be about 4.4 stars, so, it gets a flat 4 in my book. It's a great figure, I love it, but some things kind of drag it down -the flimsy wings in the back, and my personal issues with it straight from the box can't really be ignored; I probably just got a bad one, others might not have to deal with a popped off head.

I'm a figure collector, and I've purchased a good amount of the Mega Man D-Arts in the past. So of course I wanted to add this to my collection. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how cool he was, especially the removable jet pack that comes with him. His three expressions that come with him are also some of my favorites. The parts on his armor can make him a little tougher to move (since they're sharp and could get you in the hand or something) but his posability is just as good as all the other D-Arts, which is splendid. A little more than what I would've liked to pay for him, but a good grab nonetheless.

A truly amazing figure with extreme detail to make any Mega Man fan want to cry. Its accuracy is no less than perfect. A serious must have to the hardcore Mega Man fans

D-Arts ist bekannt dafür hochwertige Action Figuren herzustellen und dies bewarheitet sich auch bei dieser.Ich hatte mir bereits im letzten Jahr zu meinem Geburtstag seinen Freund Zero (Typ 2) hier bei Amazon bestellt gehabt, der ähnlich zusätzliche Inhalte bei sich hatte z.B. extra Schwerter, andere Hände, usw..Dies ist auch hier der Fall. Megaman bekommt zusätzlich 2 weitere Gesichter, andere Hände und sogar ein Jetpack. Der Austausch von Gesicht und Händen ist bei Zero im übrigen sehr einfach. Daher vermute ich, wird es bei dieser Figur genauso einfach sein. Wer sich beim "Umbau" nicht sicher ist, der findet auch eine kleine Anleitung in der Packung, die mit Bildern zeigt wies gemacht wird.Da die Figur von mir weiter verschenkt wird, kann ich sonst leider nichts weiter zur Figur sagen, außer dass sie auch wahnsinnig toll aussieht, ebenso wie die Verpackung. Ich vermute weiterhin dass sie genauso unglaublich beweglich sein wird, wie mein Zero, es ist im endeffekt ja auch die selbe Figur vom selben Hersteller :)PS: Wenn man kleinkariert ist, schreibt man natürlich in die Rezension dass dies der amerikanische Megaman ist, was nicht wirklich zur Rezension beiträgt, da die Figur trotzdem noch wie auf dem Bild bzw. wie aus dem Spiel aussieht :D D-Arts ist eine japanische Firma, genauso auch Bandai oder Capcom. Warum es nun Megaman und nicht Rockman heißt, obwohl alles japanisch ist, ist mir 1. egal, weils mir um die Figur geht und 2. vermutlich deshalb so gelöst wurde, weil Megaman nämlich nur in Japan Rockman heißt. Für den weltmarkt dann also doch lieber Megaman ;)

今回、満を持して発売されたアルティメットアーマーは、ロックマンX４にて初登場した以降、後続の作品や漫画などにエックスの究極体として登場し、ファンから根強い人気を獲得してきました。その中でも今回は人気の高いX４からのカラーリングになるアルティメットアーマーとなります。造形、可動、付属品など順を追って評価していきたいと思います。まず造形ですが、今回の大きな特徴として話題になっていたボディ全体のクリアパーツ。最初は安っぽくなるだけだと思っていましたが、実際に手に取って目にすると、クリアパーツにより透けて見えるメカの内部構造の奥行きが、良い具合に立体感を引き出しており、シルバーのパーツの上にクリアブルーのパーツを重ねる事で非常に美麗な表現になっております。塗装も特にはみ出しも無く、良好な出来栄えでした。可動の方は、基本的にエックスやファーストアーマーと同じなので、背中のバックパックと肩アーマーの僅かな接触を注意すれば、問題無く遊び倒せる可動域でしょう。保持力も安定しております。また、今まで同様部位ごとの取り外しが可能なので、ゲーム本編では不可能だった、通常のエックスに腕のみ、脚のみ、などの部分的なパーツ換装が出来るので、ゼロとアルティメットの夢のハイブリットも再現できたりします。付属品では、差し替えの平手の手首が左右付属、表情パーツは通常の他、２種新規造形の右上目線叫びと左下目線睨みがあり、先のエックス等に互換性があります。他にバックパックパーツ各種・アルティメットバスター・バスター用羽・砲門開口パーツ・アタックエフェクトなどが付属付属のバックパックを組み替えることによって、必殺技ノヴァストライク発動時の飛行形態を再現できます。以上、長々と書きましたが、当時メガアーマーという玩具シリーズでも登場した、アルティメットアーマーが１０年以上の時を経て進化して帰ってきました。今までロックマンXを追ってきたファンは勿論！知らない方でも、十二分に満足、納得できる“究極”の出来栄えだと思います。今回のアルティメットアーマーが、今後のd-artsロックマンシリーズ作品をより一層、盛り上げてくれる一品だと願います！！

Es handelt sich hierbei um die U.s. Megaman Variante, nicht um die japanische Rockman-Fassung. Die Figur ist sehr gut verarbeitet und kommt in einer schicken Verpackung daher. Schneller Versand und sicher verpackt!

造形、塗装、可動、すべての面で一級品だと思います。クリアパーツを使ったメカの表現には驚かされました。非常に見栄えが良いです。この調子で、ロックマンシリーズのリリースを継続していただきたいです。

文句なしの素晴らしい出来です。今回は初登場したX4のカラーリング(腕や腹、太ももなどが紫)ということで、どことなく悪そうな雰囲気も漂い、アルティメットアーマーの強さだけではない、危うさのようなものが出ていて本当に格好いいです。塗装の精度も高く、ともすれば安っぽくなりがちなクリアパーツも非常に良いです。内部メカもどことなく近未来な意匠をしており、アルティメットアーマーのオーパーツっぷりを強調しています。確かにプラズマショットが欲しかったような気もしますが、ポーズをつけるだけで十分の圧倒的存在感の前にどうでもよくなってしまいました(笑)メガアーマーのエックスで遊び倒していた幼い頃がなんだか懐かしいです。ブラックゼロも限定版で発売を控えていますし、エックスとゼロの最強フォームをこんなクオリティーの高いフィギュアとして並べられるというのは、ロックマンファンとして感慨深いです。これからもXシリーズが続いていくのももちろん楽しみですが、個人的にはDASHシリーズが出ると嬉しいですね。続編は開発中止されたものの、Xシリーズに負けないくらい好きなので…せめてロックとロールちゃんくらいは欲しい！ともかく、一度でもロックマンを遊んだことのある人にはたまらない一品です。D-artsロックマンはイマイチでしたが、エックスは毎回期待を裏切りませんね。
