I hate being sworn to secrecy.

Just did some chatting with Jazwares via e-mail, and unfortunately, I can't share any of the info. Or the specifics, anyway.

But, I think it's safe to say that I think a LOT of people will be happy with the stuff coming down the pipe this year, and the wait won't be too long, either.

Unless they're planning to drasitcally change the way they are making their product, I'm still not sold. As a collector, I'm looking more ofr attention to detail and overall quality, not some silly knockoff megaman toy that reminds me more of a bootleg toy than something Capcom is actually paying them to make.

Then again, It is a TOY, and toys should be marketed to KIDS, not surly, pissy young adults such as myself, so they must be doing something right I suppose. Still, it would be nice to see their product quality improve more than just a little.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, here. XD They're not really meant to be collectables. They're meant to be durable, fun, and cheap. Actual toys, in other words. No, they're not perfect, but considering the price, I'm pretty happy with the product.

Thats what keeps me from investing in their product though. If the quality took a step in the positive direction, I wou;dn't hesitate, but I'm spoiled and have all my Rockman stuff imported, so I expect at least that level of quality...

...if it took a step? It has taken a step...

Well, I think I can say that we can expect one item that's perhaps targeted to long-time fans.

And really, the quality has improved a bit from wave 1 to 2. As for wave 2.5... well, they learned the hard way(they are still learning the biz) what I told them before.

I give them an A for effort, though perhaps they bit off more than they could chew? I dunno, I cannot judge beyond what I see of the finished product... I'm sure someday I'll find one of their toys to be a must-have. In the meantime, I should focus those finances towards other things, like keeping the men-with-no-necks from coming to my house to break my legs for not paying my bills on time. (I jest of course.)

They better be making robot master figures that won't suck. After double left-handed X I couldn't bare getting another Jazwares figure.

ProTip: Mistakes happen, even to the best of toy companies. And odds are, there's someone out there with an X who has two right hands.

But, I also found an odd version of Napalm Bomb Mega Man recently. His eyes were cockeyed. One was looking up, the other down. Quite funny, really, I wanted it, but it was sold before I could get it(I thought it'd be GREAT for MM vs. Bass beatdowns).

But speaking to them earlier, turns out there was a trip to Hong Kong to crack down on these sorts of things. They are still a fledgling, growing company that seems to be willing to learn and improve as they go along. We should be glad of that.

Well they at least improved since wave one, so perhaps they'll do even better in three. But I hate the plastic they use for the arms and such. The X figure I had, had a really flimsy arm and two rights hands. So awful I returned it to KB and got the Destruction Minicon team.
