Of course it’s only for Japan like all the other cool things
Marvel vs. Capcom is finally back, at least in its classic form, and that of course means you can expect some new merchandise to be coming out for the series too.
There’s of course the exclusive Marvel vs. Capcom comic book that came with the pre-orders of the physical release of the MvC collection (and was smaller than expected), and the developer is also running a special giveaway to celebrate the ocassion as well.
Capcom is giving away prizes to 20 lucky fans in total it seems, but you probably won’t be one of them for a few reasons.
The prize is actually pretty cool too with a keychain of the collection cover an acrylic stand featuring some of the classic game portrait art for Ryu, M. Bison, Sakura, Zangief, Ken, Cyber Akuma, Dhalsim and even the joke character Norimaro, interestingly.
All you’d have to do to enter is simply follow the StreetFighterJA account on X / Twitter and retweet their giveaway post, but therein lies the problem.
Just like their recent Nijisanji Vtuber collaboration, the prize is limited to only people in Japan, which probably comes to little surprise for fans at this point.

At least the e-Capcom store is slowly being opened up to international shipping like for the cute Cammy Capcom Figure Builder, but most of it is still locked in Japan.
That’ll probably continue to expand at this seemingly glacial pace. Maybe someday we’ll be in a world without borders… at least as it pertains to cool stuff that’s been exclusive to Japan.
And hopefully we’ll see some new official Marvel vs. Capcom merch come westward much sooner than that.
An actual new game would of course also be very welcome too.
