Capcom Partners with Sega Prize for Rockman UFO Catcher Plushies

Rockman-themed UFO catcher prizes have been a staple for nearly as long as the franchise itself, with the first batch hitting machines shortly after the release of Rockman 3 in 1990. The tradition continues with confirmation of a new wave, set to appear in Sega UFO catcher machines in winter 2025.

Leading this collection is classic Rockman, featuring his iconic Rock Buster and a seated pose, perfect for display on any desk or shelf. While details on other characters in the line are yet to be revealed by Sega, they are expected to follow a similar style.

These prizes often make their way outside of Japan through specialty import retailers, so even if you can't try your luck in person, you'll likely have a chance to snag a few online.

  2. Neat. I'm guessing none of the stateside UFO catchers will have it? I never saw the one that I thought would be at Round One.

    1. Most likely not, these are Japan only but it’s usually not too hard to find prize items on sale online shortly after release.

    2. Ah, that's unfortunate. Most of the machines here don't have anything that interest me. TwT

    3. Same with over here. If your patient I’m sure you’ll find one for a good price after they release.

  4. If I had him I would hold him gently and give him head pats because he deserves them

  5. That's a pretty far off release date. Are UFO catchers that popular where news can be announced so early?

    1. It doesn’t seem *that* far off. Keep in mind, Winter 2025 is December ‘24 through February ‘25.

    8. Just imagine, if Sega got a hold of the Mega Man franchise it would be boost to win Mega Man.

    9. Or Trigger would rescue and hold it, just like with Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.

    10. Or Bandai Namco, so?
