Couldn't see the image. Maybe this will work The Giga Armor Series is nostalgic to me because it's what got me started with toy collecting. These are simple model kits with a preassemble body. Can't believe it's been 20 years. The series at the time, provided the best looking Megaman X and Megaman toys. When I first got into gokin collecting, I though how awesome it would be to get a Chogokin Megaman X. TruForce and Sentinel already release an awesome one. This one if it stays true to the name of Chogokin X Giga Armor should be a preassemble gokin body with model kit armor.

The Truforce Megamen were Gokin/diecast.

Just to clear things up a bit, I don't think I've ever seen this variation of the Rockman X Giga armor in any of the games. I'm also fairly sure "Rush" didn't happen to appear anywhere either. So unless this is in lieu of an upcoming Rockman X game, this whole thing more or less falls into "concept" version.

The original Giga Armor series back in 1997 also featured a bunch of armors that didn't appear in the X series Games. Bandai's gimmick at the time was to create as many different armor parts that can be used with the same inner body. They came up with these from some trading card game? Even Zero used the same internal body. The product line was simple model kits/armor parts. So they came up with a evil version of X called copied X or as the current fan wiki has it, Return X. And it had armor suits that weren't in the original X series games. The first model kit I brought in this line is the Rockman X All X which as the story described is the merging of Copied X and X together.
Anyway, seeing this Rush Jagt doesn't surprise me as the Giga Armor series seems to make and design whatever they want regardless if it has anything to do with the main series game.
Question that I have on this product is if it is indeed Chogokin x Giga Armor Series, is this product going to be a pre-made preassemble chogokin body with model kit? Meaning you have to assemble the armor like in the past?
One thing that I pointed out was Truforce already released a Gokin Megaman X and they already beat Bandai to the punch by being the first to make a die cast Megaman.

I like the looks of "regular" X - not sold on that Giga Armor and this Rush... thing -, but I wish they'd also release a "game-accurate" Chogokin of the original X design too. Like a "deluxe diecast" version of their D-Arts figure. Question though. Is this die cast? It's a Chogokin, so yes. A metal brick or barely any diecast, that, we don't know yet.

Agreed, although the problem with the D-Arts figures is that the parts fall off too easily and the articulations aren't so good. Armor parts tends to get in the way. Would be nice if the original Megaman X design or even Megaman get the SoC treatment. I'll even settle for the SRC treatment. Anyway, it should have some die cast. The only time Bandai lied to me and released something with almost no diecast was under their Chogokin GD line with GD-44 Zeta Gundam. Only thing metal on the figure were the screws.

Paid for mine last Saturday. Not sure when it’ll get to me. How does it compare to Truforce version?
