Sniper Joe (orig. MM): Was a figure (toy/statue) ever made?

Despite having played Megaman only a handful of times in my life and really being brought here by MMX and EXE...

Ive got this strange fascination with the classic greeen Sniper Joe character lol.
So much so that im looking to acquire a figure of some sort for my desk. The problem is i havent ever seen one for sale or available in any way.
Heck finding art work was hard enough.

Does anyone know of a Sniper Joe figure ever being made ?

American figure: definite no. Japanese: really can't recall ever seeing one. I know of those small gashaphon figures with classic characters, but even with the MM8 set, I don't think there was any Sniper Joe included. So I'm 95% sure you're outta luck. Might be something custom-made that somebody out there has, but no official figure that I know of.

Thank you for the input Rock Miyabi Smile

I assumed as much . Sniper (while some what popular in the cult sense) isnt a "main character" as much as canon fodder so its unlikely that they made a character of him. Someone else mentioned that they have seen one in Gashapon form (unpainted) but until i see a picture ill assume they were mistaken.

Im kind of relieved actually. It gives me something to make lol.

You know Joes would be great to make a couple of them and have the "get a few and have an army" thing. And they could pack a met and other small robot with each megaman figure.

Yeah. HeelNavis and basic navis. With a virus or two packed in.
This is how you make toys. Add in a shooting arm and that's a cheep gimmick right there for some characters.
