Jazwares May Release Second Wave of Mega Man Retro Roto Figures

The Mega Man Retro Roto figures produced by Jazwares several years ago are still popular among Mega Man fans. These special figures commemorate the original Mega Man video games from the 1980s that were only playable on the Nintendo Entertainment System. There were five different individually packaged Mega Man characters available from the first wave. What made this wave so interesting to many Mega Man fans was the whole new Build-a-Bot concept. The Build-a-Bot concept allows you to create a brand new Mega Man figure from spare robot parts that come separately inside each Mega Man package. I do not want to reveal who the secret character is from this particular wave because it will spoil the fun surprise.

According to www.themmnetwork.com, Jazwares may finally consider releasing Wave 2 of the Retro Roto Mega Man figures. The wave will likely feature villains such as Woodman, Heatman, and Iceman. If Jazwares does indeed release the long awaited second wave, they may use the Build-a-Bot concept once again. The concept is very similar to that of the Marvel Legends action figure line from Hasbro. Their version of it was called the Build-a-Figure concept and it allowed collectors to create gigantic villains from the Marvel Universe. According to www.jazwares.com, Jazwares has not announced the actual date they will release the second wave of their Mega Man Roto figures. If you are interested in purchasing the figures from the first wave, you may find them at a CVS pharmacy or at Toys "R" Us.

Believe it or not, Jazwares once released a line of Mega Man figures based off of the popular Mega Man X video games from the 1990s. These figures were nothing like their Retro Roto counterparts because they had significant amounts of articulation on them. They were highly detailed action figures, but the only major problem they had was their flimsy arms and legs. Most Mega Man figures are rather blockish, but these are long and oddly molded. The legs on these figures are too long compared to their very short arms, but the plastic used to create them is of high quality. Despite their unusual appearances, I believe these Mega Man figures are still highly collectible because they still look pretty awesome. My personal favorite Mega Man figure from this line would have to be the six inch Nightshade Zero. That figure is considered quite rare since the red version of the Zero figure is very common.
