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.
I'm not embarassed to admit that I have more than a few shirts from geek clothier Jinx hanging in my closet. They've got a ton of gamer (both console and pen-'n-paper) and nurrrd flavored shirts, the kind that straight non-dorks will either chuckle about or nod politely while slowly inching away from you. Whilst perusing their site this morning -- cause I actually clicked through a banner ad (I know, crazy, right?) -- I stumbled across this rad and totally unlicensed shirt.
Dear Jinx, send some love to the Unity staff and I promise* to the keep the Capcom lawyer demons off you for at least two weeks.
While we're on the topic of gamer shirts, Kotaku randomly has a post up today entitled "I Clothe Gamers" that includes Jinx, Fangamer and Capcom-licensees (and all around good guys) Meatbun.

Ah, US cartoons. How often have you betrayed our fandom over the years? Without your crap scripts (full disclosure: I actually helped out on the SF cartoons from the early 90s, sorry) and godawful art, the internet would be a much more barren place, tho. So, I guess we win in the end. Thanks to @amrikdholi on the Capcom Unity Twitter feed for helping me dig up this gem.
