Bandai produced a D-Arts figure exclusively for the San Diego Comic Con which was the much beloved Blue Bomber, Mega Man X.

| Front view of the figure. The chrome finishing was very eye catching. |

| We do not negotiate with the Mavericks! |

| Ready! Aim! FIRE!!! |

| It is time to put this buster to good use! |

| The articulation was as good as the regular version. |

I was reluctant to get this chrome X for the exorbitant price tag it was put on sell in the secondary market. Fortunately, I stumble upon this while I was on honeymoon in Hong Kong and I remember paying around USD80 for mine which was acceptable for me. It has all the pros found in the regular version such as the great articulation, good proportion, sharp detail and a good amount of accessories. I have mixed feeling towards the chrome finishing. On one hand, the finishing looks great! There are some imperfection on the seam lines but that is still acceptable to a certain extent. On the other hand, the chrome finishing reduced the freedom of articulation on the figure. It was very likely for the parts on the figure to make contact with each other and in the process chipped or scratched the chromed surface. That was one of the reason why I was reluctant to pose it vigorously during the photoshot. That aside, it was still a very nice addition to my Mega Man X collection. Grab this if you can find one for a reasonable price.
