The Wait Is Over – Mega Man Helmet Is Finally Here!

Just what you always wanted. That infamous Mega Man helmet has a certain je ne sais quoi, don’t you think? According to Capcom:

Due to immense popular demand! There have been many attempts at creating a wearable Mega Man helmet over the years, but it’s never been made officially. Made of high quality ABS plastic with a high polish finish, authentic proportions and details, plus working LED lights! A unique clamshell hinge allows the front and back half of the helmet to easily open up to comfortably fit your head inside the soft padded interior for a perfect fit.

This is a high quality replica of the Blue Bomber’s helmet – perfect for display in home or office, but it also doubles as the ultimate role play accessory! Comes shipped in a decorated box suitable for displaying your helmet when not in use.

You know what? Awesome! Awesome, awesome, awesome. You bet your bottom dollar that this is going be a hot ticket item for all those die-hard Mega Man fans – but what about today’s kids? Will they care? Find out after the break:

My point being, that you better really LOVE that geek property, because guess what – IT’S GOING TO BE THERE FOREVER!
