Mega Man Helmet

Capcom is a company that knows how to produce merchandise of varying standards, from awful tat to desirable but expensive collectables. We're not sure where this wearable Mega Man replica helmet comes in with those definitions, to be honest - the 'replica' reference in the product description is also amusing, as how can there be an authentic helmet for a video game character?

We posted about this very recently, yet now the Capcom store has actually opened pre-orders, stating that "extremely limited quantities will be produced based on advance pre-orders". This collectable is pricey though, coming in at $150 plus postage, with global shipping. Below is some blurb from the pre-order page.

There's been attempts at creating a wearable Mega Man helmet over the years, but its never been made officially. Everyone's been clamoring for one - and now you really can be Mega Man with this full-size, wearable Mega Man helmet 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.

That's one pricey helmet. What say you Mega Man fans, worth $150?
