Dunno about you, but as a Mega Fan, I'm constantly jealous of all the killer Blue Bomber goods produced in Japan that are near-impossible to find in North America. That's why I'm very happy to bring you a preview of some Mega Merch currently in production by new Capcom licensee FAB Starpoint. FAB Starpoint are in the process of signing distribution deals with retailers across the continent (hopefully including our own Capcom eStore), with an eye towards the products reaching your hot little hands in the beginning of the year. As a bonus, the folks from FAB Starpoint will also be checking the comments on this blog post to see which items you liked. Also, if you've got any clever ideas for Capcom-themed stationary/baggage items you'd like to see made, toss 'em out in the comments.
Oh, Mega Man. If I purchased every cool Japanese Blue Bomber toy, I would be superbroke and my office would be even more dorky than it currently is. Fer instance, in the Land of the Rising Sun and Awesome Toy this month, Mega Fans will be able to purchase Mega Man Be@rbricks. I don't even understand why I'm so drawn to little toys like this, but since I'm pretty much completely controlled by my id, I don't fight it or try to understand. Instead, I just roll with my initial instincts, which sound like: DO WANT!! See more images of the minifigs on Collect3D.
Why, yes, I do slap up a lot of music-themed posts, thanks for noticing. But when Joystiq points out that a white Swedish rapper is dropping jams about the Stockholm area code with an acompanying 8-bit video that casts said hippity-hopper as Mega Man? I'll be posting that with great alacrity, even withstanding the sudden influx of 8-bit and Mega Man-themed music as of late. Plus, I like it when Swedish musicians sing in English, as they are technically and grammatically perfect, but there's always something just a bit off with delivery. Word up to your mother, friend!
I'll be honest: I'm not really a reggae guy. I looooove ska, which is ironic, but I find most reggae to be superrepetitive. Dub, however, can be pretty cool, which explains my enjoyment of both The Clash and Gorillaz.
Today, I received this email:
Greetings Kramez!
I stumbled across your post about the Mega Man drumset and I figured you would like to check this out: My band, Destroy Babylon, just released a new single called "Mega Dub Inna Orbit City." The track features Scott Flynn on trombone from reggae greats John Brown's Body.
The chorus' melody is loosey based on Quickman's theme. We would be honored if you would post the track for the CapcomUnity! Please let me know if you would like any additional information on the band/track/etc. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
