The Rising Fire effect parts newly added to this kit

The flames wrapping around the red hand are nicely done.

The new hand and the existing charge shot effect parts can be combined together.

A total of 3 hand types are included.

Articulation identical to the original

Charge shot action pose

The Rising Fire pose, which could be called this kit's signature pose

Lots of effect parts make for some really flashy poses.

Dragon Flame Blade effect parts for Rockman Zero are also included, so you can use them with the separately sold Rockman Zero.

Together with the original 1/12 Rockman X in blue.

This kit is the 1/12 Rockman X Rising Fire Version released as part of Kotobukiya's Rockman X series. It takes the previously released blue 1/12 Rockman X and swaps the molded color to shades of red, with Rising Fire effect parts added to the mix. The body itself is a simple color variant, so all the characteristics are identical.

The Rockman X body still shows excellent articulation and solid joint strength, and the charge shot and dash effect parts along with the X Buster forearm are all included as before. The newly added Rising Fire effect parts consist of two flame-wrapped hands, auxiliary parts, and Dragon Flame Blade effect parts for the separately sold Rockman Zero.

Attaching the auxiliary parts to the Rising Fire effect hand parts lets you connect the existing charge shot effect parts, allowing you to pull off the Rising Fire pose that's essentially the kit's signature stance. In the end, this kit feels like it exists specifically to recreate that one scene.

It's a simple variation kit with a color variant plus added effect parts, but if you've got fond memories of Capcom's Rockman X games, this looks like a fun one to enjoy. :-)
