Goddamnit, Capcom.
You had one last job, Capcom. Make sure that your feelies for the Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Collector’s Edition were as good as the pictures made them look. Instead, you sent out this shit:

Those things were supposed to both look like Infinity Stones, and also light up. You can’t even remove the damn things from the box. You could recreate them with a trip to the dollar store around Easter. But it gets better; remember how cool those figures looked?

Well, fuck. Now we know what they did with all those shitty models they replaced in game. They transformed them into figures. Poorly textured figures. Capcom should take the time to find the guy who spent all the Collector’s Edition funds on his hookers and blow habit and chain him to the bottom of the ocean. Marvel vs Capcom Infinite was already getting crap for removing all the X-Men characters and the devs lying about why. Shit, Sega did a better job with the Chaos Emeralds, and I’m pretty sure they just sold a bunch of nerds multiple colors of gemstone paper weights. So maybe the moral of the story is to try to avoid spending $200 on a game that’s had a rocky leadup, I suppose?
Either way, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is out, well, today. I can’t imagine the Collector’s Editions will be too much in the aftermarket if you really want one for some reason.
