Auction: Creepy Mega Man Costume

And not just any creepy Mega Man costume... an official creepy Mega Man costume. This hideous beast, once used for promotional purposes by Capcom Europe, has made its way onto Ebay... yours if you're willing to fork over a pretty penny.

You might remember this guy from a couple years ago, when Capcom Europe chose to give it away in a contest. Well, I guess whoever won doesn't want it anymore!

The seller is asking for a whopping $500 for the complete costume... and that's just the starting bid. Including a minimum of $100 for shipping and six days left to bid, you can count on this one to skyrocket in price.

Collector's looking to score this bit of obscure Mega Man history can check out the complete auction here.

Thanks, Rock Miyabi!

    I'm almost expecting that the person who buys this is going to get shot during Halloween.

    @ ZeroX_Syaoran: Actually, I've seen quite a number of officially crafted MM.EXE costumes. Thing is, just about all of them are bad.

    I don't think I've yet to see an official one that could even be passed off as decent.

    For those wondering if anyone ever made a decent looking EXE costume... PikminLink anyone? http://images.cosplay.com/photos/32/323353.jpg At least, I think it's a good fan made costume...

    @ linkfreak131:

    So far, I think PikminLink's made the best MM.EXE costume out there.

    But even so, THAT'S SOME FREAKY A COSTUME...
