Super Fighting Robot!



Anybody  ever have this theme song trapped In their heads?I'll be washing the dishes and out of nowhere I'll start singing "Super Fighting Robot...MEGA MAN!" ,repeatedly ,lol.And who doesn't love Mega Man?I wasn't crazy about the NES games but I loved the SNES and PS1 versions. I've always wanted a Mega Man action figure but most were on the larger side and I was looking for something a little more portable.Luckily Hasbro has started releasing figures based on the MARVEL vs. CAPCOM games.Two packs of the more popular characters ,Mega Man  being one of them.He comes packaged with an Iron Man figure that I already have so I picked up the lone Mega Man fig.I didn't know what to expect ,articulation wise.After receiving It In the mail and messing around with It for a little while ,I'm pretty impressed!


I counted 14 points of articulation.The head moves sided to side ,shoulders swivel and  the arms bend and rotate at the elbow .The legs are on a ball socket and swivel and bend at the knees.The feet move ever so slightly but really are just stationary for the most part.




The blast effect  looks great and  the large feet counter balance the figure when the accessory Is attached. 





It's a really fun action figure with awesome paint apps.Mine came with a slightly loose left leg joint but that might also be due to the lower part of his legs being so heavy.On the flip side,It's those larger feet that both balance and allow for some really cool poses .

For now ,I'm displaying him with my Marvel Universe figures.Hopefully Hasbro releases other Capcom figures from the game like Chris Redfield ,etc.That way I can have a dedicated Capcom display.

    I never saw the Mega Man TV show but I do get the video game music stuck in my head; I play some of this one once in a while when I'm in a nostalgic mood. (this one is my favorite)

    The blast effect looks great on your figurine!

    I used to watch that cartoon early in the mornings with my younger brother before school! Now that song is stuck in my head! I have MegaMan and ProtoMan action figures that I got from the Dollar Tree years ago in my collection.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
