I dunno... In general the Funkos are awful, but I definitely prefer their interpretation of Mega Man's left hand...

Edit: I mean, goddamn... I heard that if your hand is bigger than your face, you have cancer, so maybe that's what happened to the franchise.

What the gently caress is with those proportions. X and Sigma look like they've been resized in Paint.



Everybody in the Classic and X series have huge hands and feet, it's been like that since forever. It wasn't until the Zero series that the designs started shifting towards more human-like proportions.

I always liked the huge feet in Mega Man because it makes sense that you'd want a large surface area contact with the ground to hold up all the heavy robot parts.

Have they ever put out official stats on the characters' weights? If Roll tried to piggyback Dr. Light would it kill him?

Back in the 8-bit days, I assumed Mega Man was an average sized man. But now, after 30 years of media, I believe that Mega Man's weight is always the exact weight your younger cousin was when you first wanted to finger him.

I think that Inafume is a creepy man, and that the lack of detail available in 1987 led us to believe that Mega Man was a robot that shot other robots. As time went on he was able to show us more of his vision. Mega Man and his enemies seemed to get younger, more human, and say "pew, pew, pew!".

X3's is my personal favorite, design wise. Though I do think the Blade Armor might be a tie.

They also have some giant jets in thier feet for dashing and jumping. Even classic megaman has some red circles on the underside of his feet that do.... something.

Maybe they are like coolant? access? ports and that's where the spikes get in and stab something important that makes him blow up. Bad design if so.

One gripe I have with MN9 among many, even though I'll never buy the game: That boss fight looks incredibly dull because it's just two small/very far-away characters duking it out in a large, static room. You'd never encounter this in Shovel Knight or Shante because the visuals work on a portable console, hence everything is close-up, legible and expressive. It's why Blackadder 1 was a bit of a misfire with its scope. You can see Rowan Atkinson fall off his horse from 50-feet away and that may as well be anyone, but show him up close and he'll make you laugh.

They're holes for foot pegs, so you can stand him up on Rush Jet or in play sets.

I reckon it's something to keep him stuck to the floor for whatever reason. I mean there's that distinctive Megaman foot sound, so maybe the hole thing is causing that?

I never noticed OG MM had 'em, I always assumed X's were little jets for his dash. Doesn't his dash animation even have little flames/smoke puffs?

e: I guess it's smoke/dust like this:


but I always kind of imagined it as being smoke from a little jet like this:



also if you want to try to talk about realism in your shooty robots the air dash makes it even more likely they're little jets
