Kotobukiya announced a revised release date for the two new Mega Man 11 model kits. The kits will now be releasing sometime in June 2025. They are planned to appear in every region, though we will likely see them launch first in Japan.
The Scramble Thunder and Pile Drive Mega Man model kits were originally available for pre-order on October 10, 2024. However, pre-orders were temporarily halted on November 14, 2024. No reason was provided for the suspension of orders at the time. Originally, Mega Man Scramble Thunder was set for an April 2025 release and Mega Man Pile Driver was set for a May 2025 release. They will both now be released in June 2025. Pre-orders have also resumed. It’s unclear if existing pre-orders will be maintained.
The model kits are based on the Scramble Thunder and Pile Drive variations of Mega Man from the eleventh game in the mainline series. These weapons were obtained from Fuse Man and Impact Man respectively. The Scramble Thunder variation is a green and black color with a helmet decorated with electrical coils. The Pile Drive variation is an orange and black construction site aesthetic. Both model kits are available to pre-order from Kotobukiya for ¥8,580 each. The completed figures are around 5 inches tall.
The Pile Drive and Scramble Thunder Mega Man kits are the latest in a long line of Mega Man kits from Kotobukiya. These range from standard versions of Mega Man in his standard Mega Buster form to a large range based on the Mega Man X subseries.
The Mega Man 11 Kotobukiya Pile Drive and Scramble Thunder model kits are available for pre-order now. They will release sometime in June 2025.
