Capcom Unveils Surprise Lineup of New Kobun Merchandise

For more than a decade, Kobuns—better known as Servbots in the West—have been largely missing from Capcom Japan's licensed merchandise offerings. Now, in a surprise move, Capcom has unveiled a new line of Kobun goods under the Tron ni Kobun (The Misadventures of Tron Bonne) label, coming soon to Capcom Store locations across Japan.


First up: a series of Kobun keychains! These little guys measure just 4.3cm, making them perfect for your keys or backpack. Six different designs will be available in-store at Capcom Store and Capsule Lab locations, as well as online via Online Parco. They’ll be priced at 500 yen each when they go on sale tomorrow, June 3rd.



Next up is a simple Kobun t-shirt, a tote bag sized to fit A4 books, a mesh pouch for your small essentials, and a set of Kobun bang clips to keep your hair neat and stylish. These items are also scheduled to launch on June 3rd.

For now, they’re exclusive to Capcom Store, Capsule Lab, and Online Parco. That said, there’s always a chance they could pop up at import retailers or third-party marketplaces down the line—something we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on.

As mentioned earlier, these aren’t just any Kobun items—they’re specifically from or tied to Tron Ni Kobun. Rockman Unity makes a point to highlight this. It marks the first time since the game’s original release that new Tron Ni Kobun merchandise has been produced, rather than lumping it under the broader Rockman DASH label.

    1. Nah, they merchandise the hell out of stuff. Doesn't mean anything significant, at this point.

    2. They add Volnutt as a playable character in SF6, but he’s still stuck on the moon so he can’t fight and loses every match by default.

      See, this is how I know Capcom isn’t *fully* pessimistic about Mega Man, or else they would’ve hired smartasses like myself to come up with horrible cameos to piss off fans like I just described.

    3. @Jark Instead, they just add Bad Box Art Mega Man to stuff because it's low-hanging fruit. :V

  5. It's still really weird to me how the Servbots have gotten so many cameos and merchandise despite being from one of the worst supported Mega Man sub-series.
