For Your Consideration, a Plush Proto Man Ball


For every great piece of Mega Man merchandise, there's a weird one not too far behind. Case in point: a soon-to-be released plush Proto Man ball. It's ridiculous in every way but you just know it will be everywhere.

This oddity showed up on Great Eastern Entertainment's product database. He's all by his lonesome at the moment, though I'm sure in due time other ball-shaped characters will spawn. Great Easter Entertainment's Mega Man rights limit them to the classic, X and Legends characters. You never know who will show up next.

    Am I the only one who is looking at all of this bizarre merch and beginning to believe that Capcom hired Yogurt from Spaceballs to replace Inafune?

    We can't have a Proto Man helmet, but we get this instead. Neat.

    It's so dumb and yet hilariously cute at the same time.

    Less cool than a regular protoman because it's a ball plushie, but cooler than a regular ball plushie because it is PROTOMAN

    No no no, see, this is a tie-in to the new reboot, "Rockman NEXT." Instead of weapons, you get abilities from bosses that change how the player works.

    This here is what's known as the "Super Ball Form" ability (which is a reference to the Mega Man 4 enemies, "Super Ball Machine, Jr.").
