New Merch - Plush Zero, Proto Man Hooded Throw Blanket


Looks like GE Animation is continuing to roll out the Mega Man merchandise. Next up on their list: A plush. And not just any plush. It's the crimsons crusader himself, Zero. A perfect companion to a certain other plush Maverick Hunter.

Also on the burner, a Proto Man throw blanket. The helmet (with shades) is attached so you can keeo your head and body warm simultaneously. This is certainly one of the more obscure products under the GE license.

    1. Pop culture specialty retailers like Hot Topic. Amazon, ebay, too.

    1. I want it, too. The helmet is a little odd, but he just looks so darn adorable and huggable!

    2. I wouldn't worry about the helmet - GE are one of those companies whose final products usually exceed their already very good prototypes. I imagine the released plush will be even better!

    1. You can't - those links are for retailers only. You need to check with a store that actually carries these product lines. In the case of the plushes (and almost anything produced by GE), they're always carried by Amazon US, who will ship them to selected countries outside of the USA for very reasonable shipping and customs clearance prices - certainly much more so than you'll find on eBay (and on eBay, you run a much higher risk of purchasing counterfeits and fakes than you do by purchasing items sold and shipped by Amazon).

      Once these items are released, visit Amazon.com, log into your Amazon account even if it is from another country, and go for the product option sold by Amazon.com, not by any other sellers. If they are able to ship it to your location, the page will say so, and will allow you to place an order.

      I hope this is useful information.
