Officially Capcom licensed Mega Man posters, sporting fancy lenticular 3D effects, have been spotted at a Barnes & Noble in Orlando, Florida. The poster measures in at around 11x17 in dimensions, and (accurately) recreates the classic Mega Man 1 stage select with its yellow and blue motif. Humorously, a quick Google search of the item reveals that poster was produced by Poster Revolution, perhaps best known for their popular and inexpensive replica of 'The Kramer.'
While the item itself may not be hugely interesting, it's worth noting that this really shows just how far Capcom is willing to market Mega Man present-day. It's the little trinkets like this -- the t-shirts, posters, and trading figures -- that help to raise series awareness for the masses. It certainly worked for Mario and friends, and Capcom looks to be following suite.
Sure enough, you don't need to look too far to pick one of these up for yourself; Poster Revolution is selling the poster directly for $8.74 -- quite a steal, really, as the site notes it regularly sells for $20.00.

I definitely appreciate their attention to using the same batch of art. Something previous companies often fail to do, creating a random bunch of different art styles. ^_^'
ReplyDeleteThe trinkets are nice, too bad their hatred of Megaman games is unquenchable.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I know. I mean, I liked some of the MegaMan games. I just wish they shown some love to them.
I mean, Zero Collection was a hit last year yet there are some who hate it cause of its new features.
