Model Kits

Various assemblable action figures have been produced under the Kotobukiya line. While only 3 figures were initially released around 2010, the line was picked back up in 2018 with characters from Mega Man X, and has continually expanded in its product line. Some characters, such as the various X designs and armors, contain parts that can be used on other figures, e.g. the Second Armor contains the Zero Buster, which can also be used on Zero.
