I'm a bit behind on posting again!!
Last Wednesday I went to the Capcom Store Taipei again (unable to enter the first time on the previous Friday, opening day, because the queue was too long!) and got to browse all the merch!
I was most into the Monster Hunter merch of course, and they had quite a decent selection!
TsumTsum style monsters!
The little characters were NT$330 each, and the big ones (only Mizutsune and Palico available) were NT$1300. If I get a decent job and some income, I want to go back for the big Mizutsune!
There was also a decent selection of functional items. Resident Evil had a lot of envelopes/memo pads for some reason? It was all styled like Umbrella Corporation branding.
There's also a Taipei-exclusive art you can get on tumbler and T-shirt and tote bag though for now, they've only got the T-shirts in size L. The T-shirts also felt like 100% polyester, which is easier to print on, but not as nice to wear. I think a poly-cotton blend would have been better!
Street Fighter had an awesome series of merch done in a neon lights style! The t-shirts were also fully embroidered, which makes them seem very worth it for fans!
I personally don't play Street Fighter, but I'm in love with this aesthetic!
Mouse pad
More embroidered shirt!
There's also this hedgehog mascot I'm not familiar with, but it was very cute! It just says that it is Capcom's official mascot called Harimaru. They had a bit of merch with it, but if it is the official Capcom mascot, they're really not doing much promotion with it!
I'm not that familiar with the other IPs such as Devil May Cry, MegaMan/Rock Man, or Okami, though I've seen gameplay of all before.
I was also tempted by the deformed Nu Udra plush! Who knew a flaming octopus could look so cute?
The tote bags are also fully embroidered. It's nice to see quality embroidery being used!
There was a small collection of meme cat crossover with Palico
I ended up not buying anything because I need to watch my budget, and the video reel I made is too big to upload here, so it's available on my Instagram (or public streaming Instagram) if you are following me there! It shows more of the other IP goods.
Leaving you with the epic Street Fighter statue at the entrance!
Do you play Capcom games? If so, which one/s? I only play Monster Hunter myself, though I love the aesthetics of Okami!
