Mega Man (Ruby-Spears) merchandise

Like many big cartoons, the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon show had its own merchandise, including action figures, soundtracks, and more. Though most of the merchandise in this article has long since been out of production, they can still be found on auction sites such as eBay.



Action figures
These figures were released around the time of the debut of the show in 1994 and were produced by Bandai. Because Mega Man could copy other Robot Master's weapons, all Robot Master figures had a "weapon" that could be fired out of either Mega Man or Proto Man's busters.

Series 1
The first series consisted of six figures.


 * Mega Man w/ interchangeable firing blaster arm and plasma shot.
 * ProtoMan w/ interchangeable firing blaster arm and plasma shot.
 * Rush w/ clip-on jets with wheels on the bottom to simulate hovering, and pegs on his back to allow other figures to stand on him.
 * GutsMan w/ Super Arm lifting action and a fire hydrant that can be fired from blasters.
 * Cut Man w/ Rolling Cutters and giant sheers that can be fired from his head.
 * Bomb Man w/ with Hyper Bomb tossing action and a bomb that can be fired from blasters.

Series 2
The second series was limited to four figures, possibly due to the pending cancellation of the show.


 * ElecMan w/ interchangeable firing blaster arm and Thunder Beam.
 * Snake Man w/ Interchangeable firing blaster arm and Search Snake.
 * Bright Man w/ firing blaster arm and Flash Stopper light bulb that can be fired from blasters.
 * Drill Man w/ with firing drill bomb.

There was one vehicle produced for the action figures to sit inside of.


 * Mega Man's Air Raider w/ firing missile launcher and wheels on the bottom to simulate flying.

PVC figures
Around the same time of the release of the action figures, Bandai released sets of small non-poseable plastic figures that were roughly two inches tall. These figures came in sets of two. Mega Man's figure is the same for all sets.
 * Mega Man & Ice Man
 * Mega Man & Fire Man
 * Mega Man & Dr. Wily
 * Roll & Cut Man
 * ProtoMan & Bomb Man
 * Rush & ElecMan
 * Dr. Light & GutsMan

Canceled toy lines
When the show was canceled, the toy line followed with it, leaving several toys unproduced.
 * A third series of action figures was planned that would have included three new variants of Mega Man (Stealth Suit Mega Man, Marine Suit Mega Man and Flight Suit Mega Man. All based on Mega Man's special outfits he wore in season 2), a new variant of ProtoMan (wearing the Break Man mask from Mega Man 3]), Roll, Fire Man, Ice Man, [[Quick Man, Air Man, Brain Bot and Bass.
 * Also, two vehicles were set to be produced. The first was called the Land Blazer and was featured a few times in Season 2. The other vehicle was Dr. Wily's Skullker (which would have included an action figure of Dr. Wily himself.)
 * A tall deluxe talking Mega Man figure was also in the works.
 * A second series of PVC's were planned that would have featured the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2 and possibly Bass and Treble, but it too was scrapped.

Mega Man: The Album
In 1995 (or early 1996), a soundtrack album was released on CD and cassette by Atlantic Records. The CD did not feature any music from the show, and the tracks on the album were not featured on the show itself, except during the end credits. However, there was some artwork and screenshots from the show featured in the booklet included with the CD.

This album is now out of print.

Other merchandise

 * ADV Films has released two DVD box sets of both seasons of the show which are still available in stores.
 * Four VHS tapes with two episodes each were released during the cartoon's run, but are now out of production.
 * A Halloween custom of the cartoon Mega Man was released back while the cartoon was running, but is now out of production and hard to find.

Trivia

 * The Bomb Man action figure was pulled from store shelves shortly after the Oklahoma City office bombing before the start of the second season.
 * Guts Man's action figure had a brick instead of one hydrant in the TV commercial.
 * Roll's boots are different than they are on the show. They are red on the show, but her PVC figure has brown boots.
