Icon Heroes' Mega Man License Expires; Products Cancelled and Removed


If you've been curious about the fate of the $600 Mega Man X2 Ride Chaser diorama (pictured above) or any of Icon Heroes' Mega Man products, here's an update. 

Icon Heroes has informed us that their license to create merchandise based on the Mega Man IP has expired and will not be renewed. As a result, all Mega Man products in development, including those not yet announced, have been cancelled. Previously released items like pins, puzzles, and bobbleheads are no longer available for purchase directly from Icon Heroes. Any remaining stock available through third-party retailers is likely the last of its kind.

Icon Heroes secured the license to produce Mega Man merchandise in 2020, promising a range of high-quality items. Unfortunately, those plans never fully materialized, as evidenced by the off-model diorama that one reader aptly described as looking like a cake topper. If you need a good laugh, BBTS has archived all the stock images of the thing for posterity. 

So there you have it. If anything else from their collection piqued your interest, now's the time to snag it before it’s gone for good.

    1. No, we just have standards.

    2. Standards would have prevented the insane loyalty the fan base gave Capcom for over a decade for a single drop of water. ๐Ÿ˜…

    3. Hey look, it's the guy who says he's been "done" with Mega Man for years but keeps trolling fansites to try convincing himself he's the smartest person in the room. Grow up dude.
