Figure News: More D-arts announced, Bandai proves how merciless it is

Well, I mentioned this in the Tamashii Nations article, but now that the full list has been translated, I figured I'd give it its own article. Remember how TN showed off a bunch of D-arts, from Beelzemon to Mega Man X? Well, they also unveiled a list of figures they're working on, and all I can say is: PREPARE YOUR WALLET.



The list includes:

Digimon Series:
-Imperialdramon
-Dukemon
-Beelzebumon
-Paildramon
-Diablomon
-Susanoomon
-Alphamon
-Shinegreymon
-Mugendramon

Rockman/Mega Man Series:
-Zero (Rockman X)
-Zero (Rockman Zero)
-X (Rockman X)
-Rockman (Rockman EXE)
-Forte/Bass

Medarot Series:
-Rokusho
-Granbeetle
-God Emperor
-Blazermate
-Arc Beetle
-Sonic Stag

Others:
-Samus Aran (Metroid)
-Knight Blazer (Wild Arms 2)
-Thanatos (Persona 3)
-Izanagi (Persona 4)
-Haseo (.hack)
-Link (Legend of Zelda)
-Gridman
-Robomaro (Robot Pokottsu)

Note that not all of these will see fruition. They're trying to make these a reality - the license-holders still have the right to change their mind. But even so, Imperialdramon. Thanatos. SAMUS FREAKIN' ARAN. This line is a gamer's wet dream! Note that so far, the Digimon are all pretty likely. The Mega Man and Medabots characters also have a pretty high chance, as they already have the licenses. Atlus tends to be pretty chill about letting companies make figures, so I can see the Personas happening. The only ones that may pose an issue are Samus and Link, because Nintendo tends to be pretty touchy about "protecting the integrity of their franchises" (while marketing another Mii-based shovelware game).

But still, I figure that most people here will be able to find something to look forward to - this could be the Sci-Fi Revoltech of video games.
