Toy Review: D-Arts Black Zero

Considered as an upgrade armor or an evil copy, Bandai Tamashii Nations didn’t think twice in releasing the D-Arts Black Zero from Capcom’s Megaman X game. Aside from the obvious black and grey color motif, Black Zero has sharp cornered shoulder pads and silver and gold buster arm. Unlike his red version, Black Zero has gem ornaments on both ankles.

Toy Review: D-Arts Megaman X Ultimate Armor

D-Arts Megaman (Rockman) X Ultimate Armor represents the most powerful form in the game franchise. His violet base frame is highlighted even more with the clear blue accents on the shoulders, arms and legs. There are slight hints of golden wings just above the shoulder parts and near the ankles.

Toy Review: D-Arts Forte and Gospel (Bass and Treble)

Whether you know them as Bass and Treble or Forte and Gospel, this D-Arts set includes two figures much like the classic Rockman release. Forte out of the box already has his Forte Buster already attach on his right arm together with an almost accurate head and body sculpt. What takes your breath away are the nicely applied paint details but was slightly disappointed with the small gaps that glued some of his parts together.

Toy Review: D-Arts Rockman (Classic)

This is a review of the classic blue bomber D-Arts Rockman - a homage to the 1990s version game classic from Capcom. I would coin this as Rockman 3 just because Rush is included who debuted on said version of the game. As a kid, I almost finished every single Rockman game in the Nintendo Family Computer system before SNES was later introduced in the market.  I would play for hours and ask friends on the patterns for boss fights. This is the reason why I only picked up this version among previous Megaman/Rockman D-arts releases.
