The first video of Wave 1 has popped up. These figures are absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to this line as these are much overdo.

Do people really want all the different MegaMan colors/powers?

I feel like that's where every single other line went wrong? They certainly don't have any appeal to me and I'd much rather see all the other Robot Masters.

But more than that I think where every line prior has dropped the ball is by not building out the Mega Man family.

Roll, Dr. Light, Rush, Tango, Beat, and Eddie are very essential for me.

 

I'm all in on these, but the latest ToyMigos interview seems like Juhn sounds nervous for the health of the line.

 

I hope anyone on the fence jumps on board, I feel like a lot of people are waiting to pull the trigger until the first wave is out.

The idea of finally getting a Protoman is probably my biggest lure to the line. I certainly hope we get him, Roll, and Rush before the line ends. Rush in particular seems like a must-have to go with Megaman. 

I don’t have any interest in alternate colors for MM, but I’d definitely like to eventually see some of the other MM designs. While I’ll probably never replace my Figuarts X or Zero, I’d love for Jada to eventually take a stab at MM Volnutt, Exe, and Star Force. Just to have the full line up.

Rush & Roll would be a must for MvC collectors.
I myself wouldn't mind Rush.
Servbots would be fun to have multiples of, but they're from later on, along with Tron Bonne.

Unfortunately I do feel Mega Man is a bit more niche as compared to other Capcom properties like Street Fighter & Resident Evil, though I'd partly blame Capcom for that.

Hopefully this line gets some buzz, especially with the positive reviews that the Street Fighter line is getting.

I'm not big on various weaponized MM either unless they dramatically alter his look like the leaf shield.  I think that would look pretty cool if done right.

This is my most anticipated line of 2024.  I'm bummed Target will not be carrying it though.

I have been waiting on this line since we got a taste for the figures from Figuarts.  I am in for everything.  I would love to see the line get to characters like Bass, Vile, and Bit.

@nebraska I'm with you.  It sounded like there is a possibility that after Wave 1 these may actually be on your local store shelves, but I don't know if that means that depends on sales of the 1st wave or if another issue is involved.

Just got my Mega Man and Ice Man and I have to say, these are the absolute best Mega Man figures I've ever had (and I've collected quite a few over the years).

For such simple designs they've really captured all the key details.

Mega Man has this beautiful blue gradient on his helmet and boots. It's subtle but keeps him from looking flat and cheap. They even included the vent details on the back of his helmet which I've seen get skipped in the past.

On Ice Man I would have thought he and Mega Man shared more parts, but they don't. I'm almost positive it's just the feet and the forearms (if anything). They even included the black details at end of his gloves and boots which I would have never noticed where a part of his design. I also never knew he had an energy tank on his back! I initially thought it was black, but it is the appropriate dark green. They even included the clasp on the back of his head.

 

These are sturdy too! They aren't like any of those expensive imports, where you feel like they'll break if you look at them the wrong way. They feel right on par with any Hasbro offering in the durability department.

 

If you are on the fence with this line I'd encourage you to go all in. There's a lot of love being put into this line and the pricing is insanely fair. Mega Man is finally being shown the love he deserves.

How hard is switching heads?  Their Monster Cereals figs are a real bitch to change.

I see EE's "alert when in stock" feature is now pointless as it didn't alert me when they had Ice Man or some other items they currently have on the site.  That's a bummer, I used to depend on that feature.

I got my Megaman and Iceman as well. I don’t have alot of past Megaman figs to compare these two, but these are possibly the best version I have so far. They pose great given the design. They have a good feel and plastic quality is good. Mines were easy to swap parts out. 

I’m not interested in variant colors for Megaman unless it drastically changes his overall look. I’d rather they finish the bosses and the other members of Megamans family. However, they may be attempting to keep Megaman as headliner in every wave and might as well mix his colors and accessories up. Given thecurrent three figures per wave, I’m ok with a variant Megaman to headline as long as the boss or friend characters take up the other two slots. I will be particularly turned off if Megman variant colors take up two slots and one slot is left to a boss or friend character. 

I’ll support this line as long as the quality doesn’t dip.

Mine are supposed to arrive tomorrow.  I was looking at my old 1999 Toybiz Mega Man to psych myself up for the new one.  Is anyone else replacing their 1999 MvC Mega Man with this Jada one?  Hell of an upgrade.

EDIT:  Mega rocks.  Ice Man is a great figure too, in some ways maybe ever better than Mega.  But I'd be in on buying more Mega Man power-up versions, I think that's where my priority would be over buying more Master Robots.  The idea of one Mega and two Robots per wave sounds fair.
