This has been quite the emotional roller coaster. April Fools will never be the same again.

EDIT 7: Backer figures are arriving!

EDIT 6: Successfully funded!

EDIT 5: The Kickstarter is live! Go get your crazy April Fools figure on.
There's even a Kickstarter exclusive "Test-Color X" variant!

EDIT 4: The Kickstarter will be starting soon! Here's a new update as to how the figure will look.

EDIT 3: 6 months later edition!
Tuns out Mizuno Mega Man X design is getting a real figure. Even better, there will be a Kickstarter next month to fund it. Because wasting the coolest design ever would've been stupid.

• 15cm in height (roughly in line with Bandai Figuarts MM figures)
• Diecast armor on the chest, shin armor and feet
• 20 points of articulation
• LED functional X-Buster (can be swapped on either hands)
• 2 additional set of hands (fist and splayed)
• Extra faceplate ("shouting")
• Swappable back thrusters (opened and closed)
• Attachable blast effect accessory for the X-Buster
• Tentative March/April 2015 release
• Produced by TruForce Collectables
  [*]Bluefin distributing in North America
• Colored prototype will be on display in February at the New York Toy Fare
• Price is TBA

EDIT 2: Ucchy-san calls the design "a dream". Or maybe, y'know, this is the internet and we never forget.

It sounds like the removal of the original post was deliberate:

This thing is gonna end up being real.

They canceled the joke.

...model kit.

Designed by Mizuno Keisuke (artist for Mega Man Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X) this new model is the first product to release under Capcom's new "C.C.C" label (Capcom Creators Collection).
The C.C.C brand allows Capcom designers and artists to freely re-imagine new designs of existing characters into figures and model kits.

The official product details from Rockman Unity are something to see, too:

Size: 4/1 scale
Material: Titanium-X
Price: 4.1 million Zenny
APIF model number: SHVC19931217RX
Release date: April 1st, 21XX
NOTE: Special modeling kit nippers needed to penetrate Titanium-X. Basic welding and electrical skills are required.

Original Announcement JOKE CANCELED IT DOESN'T EXIST RIGHT GUYS

That's a lot of effort for such a cool design to go to waste, so I figured it warranted its own thread.

Talk about this darn cool design!

 

[Aaronrules380]

So Capcom can't even give Megaman the dignity of having a game as an april fools joke. Nice to know

 

[MiketheBSG]

In other news, Mega Man Legends 3 is releasing!

 

[The Flash]

waste is the emphasis here. for shame Capcom.

So if this turns out to be real can we say that Capcom cancelled the joke?

 

[Soulflarz]

So do i get angry or just sad

 

[Layell]

talk about applying salt to the wound.

 

[jaypah]

I like OG Mega over X but this is dope!

 

[bobawesome]

Man...I never thought I'd come to miss Mega Man. If only I knew then what I know now. ;_;

Yes, and I originally posted it there. But it's big enough news to warrant a thread with the [April Fool] tag.

It's an amazing design, and it seems like a lot of effort for a joke.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

EDIT: I'm an idiot.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

This isn't even an April Fools joke.

They wish their financial report was.

 

[The Flash]

Man...I never thought I'd come to miss Mega Man. If only I knew then what I know now. ;_;

I watched an old G4 special on Mega Man yesterday and one guy said that he imagined that there would be many more Mega Man games to come. I was like "Yeah, you'd think that...".

is ver. ke like a shout out to ver. ka for gundams?

 

[Azure J]

Is it bad that I walked in knowing what was up and still want this very badly? This + a model of SSB4 classic Megaman as models would get snapped up pretty quickly by myself.

 

[Mariolee]

That looks really good. Capcom would be fiends if they didn't make a new game with that design.

 

[JBourne]

It may seem that I am very calm, but in my head I have killed you at least three times, Capcom.

 

[Crayolan]

Figures Megaman is nothing but a joke to them now. It could be worse though, they could "revive" Megaman Le-

In other news, Mega Man Legends 3 is releasing!

Goddamnit.

 

[Glass Rebel]

what does it say about the state of Mega Man when we don't even get a fake game

 

[213372bu]

Capcom : It's been all these years but here's a greatly constructed X design. Oh yeah, by the way, we're still going to just keep this IP and do nothing with it. Thanks!

 

[Imm0rt4l]

-_-

 

[Lijik]

Every time I think Im ready, but Capcom keeps finding new ways to disappoint me

 

[TreIII]

Pity. It is a nice design.

 

[Night_Trekker]

The only thing funny about this is that Capcom made it really cool so they could more effectively mock the fans of the MM series.

...wait, that's not funny. It's just fucking mean.

 

[SargerusBR]

Ice cold CAPCOM, ice cold...

 

[Servbot24]

Pretty nice design, I'd take a game with it!

 

[Ceallach]

is ver. ke like a shout out to ver. ka for gundams?

Clearly.

4/1 would be interesting. 4/1 scale would be like 20+ feet tall, lol

 

[FauX]

This is very depressing. I cannot handle it... *sniff* *sniff*

 

[Green Wiggly]

*sigh*

Why can't that be concept art for a new game?

 

[Dahbomb]

Could've even make an April Fools MM game?

LMAO!

Capcom's trolling of the MM fanbase will never cease.

 

[Basketball]

 

[Rhapsody]

Design looks great at least.

 

[greycolumbus]

I dont get the joke.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I dont get the joke.

The joke is that Megaman is dead

Spoiler

 

[Kasumin]

As a huge Mega Man X fan, all I can do is frown and feel sad

At least the art is nice...

 

[Acorn]

Capcom trolling MM's fanbase continually is hilarious to me for some reason. Someone over there really hates Mega Man.

 

[Atlas157]

Fucking shit I can't stop laughing at this LOL

 

[K' Dash]

 

[Naminator]

The joke is that Megaman is dead

Spoiler

On the bright side though, Capcom will be bankrupt soon and someone will probably buy out the Megaman franchise and cash in on it real quick.

Probably.

Definitely. Ka is Katoki though, so there might be a double joke in ver. ke.

 

[DoubleTake]

Yep...

 

[SOLDIER]

Keep being the world's biggest asshole, Capcom. I'm sure all the fans appreciate it.

 

[CNCOMICS]

Capcom needs our tears to cheer themselves up after their profit cut forecast.

 

[Silky]

That salt is delicious
