Capcom and Sega's UFO catcher partnership continues with the reveal of a new Rockman Luminasta figure. Based on his appearance in Rockman 11, this figure will be available in Japanese UFO catchers later this summer, Sega announced.
Sega’s Luminasta line features 6- to 7-inch non-posable figures inspired by characters from anime, manga, and video games, offered as redemption prizes in amusement centers. Fortunately for collectors, these figures are often available through online retailers like Big Bad Toy Store. They’re also reasonably priced, usually going for $23 to $40, depending on where you look.
Sega promises more details soon, but for now, it’s hard not to wonder—could more Rockman characters be next in line for the Luminasta treatment? The announcement tweet refers to it as "Rockman Luminasta 'Rockman'," which suggests that 'Rockman Luminasta' is a dedicated sub-line rather than a one-off figure.

Just when you think you've seen them all, someone's old VHS tapes say otherwise.

Capcom's ever-growing line of bean-shaped "Capcorom" plushies is adding more Battle Network favorites: ProtoMan.EXE, Chaud, and the long-awaited Serenade, who has been long due for some form of official merch.
All three plushies will debut at Capcom Store locations in Tokyo, Osaka, and Umeda for 1,100 yen each (or $7.12 USD) starting Friday, February 15. If you're feeling lucky, you can also try to win them through Capcom's online crane game service, Net Catcher.
For those unable to purchase in-store or Net Catcher, keep an eye on your favorite import and third-party retailers. These tend to pop up frequently, even long after their initial sale.

Tucked away in Capcom's Q3 FY2024 supplemental materials, it’s confirmed that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection has sold 1.60 million units (up 200,000 units from previous report). This figure represents the combined sales of Volume 1 and Volume 2 across all platforms. However, since neither volume individually reached one million units, the collection is not included in Capcom's Platinum Titles list.
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection currently holds the record as the fastest-selling game in the franchise, surpassing one million units within its first two weeks. Released in April 2023, the game is on track to become one of the series' best-selling entries. At this pace, it’s not hard to imagine it matching or surpassing Mega Man 11's 2 million units, a milestone that took seven years to reach.

Capcom updated their Platinum Titles list today, confirming that Mega Man 11 has sold 2 million units worldwide as of December 31, 2024. This makes it the best-selling game in the franchise, surpassing Mega Man Legacy Collection (1.60M) and Mega Man 2 (1.51M).
Originally released in 2018, Mega Man 11 has maintained steady sales over seven years as an evergreen "catalog title"—Capcom's classification for software that continues generating revenue through extended promotion, discounts, and bundle sales. Digital catalog titles account for a significant portion of Capcom's profits, with Mega Man 11 contributing alongside other Mega Man titles released in recent years.
While not the fastest-selling title in the franchise—that honor goes to Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection—Mega Man 11 has accomplished a feat no other game has in the series' 38-year history. To think there was a time when so many Mega Man games couldn't even crack 500,000 or even 100,000 copies, this milestone was once just a pipe dream.
The first supplemental Teppen cards of the year are here, featuring a few Mega Man Zero-themed cards that highlight Zero and Ciel.
