Capcom is bringing back its giant Mega Man and Roll figures

Capcom and X-Plus are re-releasing the massive Gigantic Series Mega Man and Roll figures. Roll is scheduled to ship in August 2026.

The Roll figure originally debuted in March 2016, making this her first return to production in over ten years.

It's plastic like this that fills the hole in your soul.

A foot of soft vinyl

These are not standard articulated action figures. X-Plus is a manufacturer best known for its towering Godzilla and Dragon Ball sofubi (soft vinyl) statues. The company applied that exact same design philosophy to the Blue Bomber and his sister. Mega Man stands at roughly 35 centimeters (nearly 14 inches) tall. Roll measures about 30 centimeters (almost 12 inches).

Because they are made of PVC vinyl, they function entirely as static display pieces. You cannot pose them in dynamic action stances or adjust their limbs. The draw is entirely in the size and the paint application.

The designers used clear plastic parts for several details, including the helmet earpieces, the Mega Buster muzzle, and the soles of the feet. Mega Man also includes an interchangeable head piece so you can display him without his helmet. Roll is depicted in her design from Mega Man 8 or later, which is described as a more 'grown-up' version, rather than her classic red dress and bow from the original NES era.

The paint application on both figures leans heavily into bright, primary colors to match their original Famicom and NES box art appearances. X-Plus avoided the temptation to add realistic weathering or excessive mechanical panel lining, which is a common trend in modern retro game merchandise. The smooth, clean finish fits the classic look perfectly.

The 2016 merchandise drought

When these figures first launched a decade ago, the Mega Man franchise was in a strange place. Capcom had canceled Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe a few years prior. Mega Man 11 was still years away from its 2018 release. During that dry spell, high-end merchandise and the early retro compilations were the only things keeping the classic series in the public eye.

Figures of this size were unusual for the property. Most collectors relied on the Bandai D-Arts line or Kotobukiya model kits, which hovered around the standard six-inch scale. Translating a simple, rounded 1980s video game character into a massive vinyl format requires a different approach to texturing and proportion. The resulting Gigantic Series figures look exactly like the official Capcom promotional art from the early 1990s, just scaled up to the size of a small toddler. They were an outlier in the market, demanding both a premium price and serious display real estate.

Sofubi figures also have a different feel compared to standard injection-molded plastics. The material is slightly softer and lighter, which is necessary when casting pieces this large. A solid chunk of plastic at 14 inches tall would be prohibitively heavy and expensive to ship. The hollow vinyl construction keeps the weight manageable while still providing a sturdy base.
