Dreams can come true: A real-life Umbrella Corp. umbrella photo

Resident Evil Zero is one of the few non-Outbreak games in the series I haven't gotten around to playing. I imagine there are many of you in a similar position, so listen up.

While you could get a used copy of the Gamecube version for cheaper, or even Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero (aka the Wii port) for $29.99, you could be a man and buy the game for $39.99 at Capcom and receive an Umbrella Corporation-branded umbrella for your efforts.

The transformation t-shirt, the RCPD money clip, the Servbot coffee mug, and now this? Capcom officially wins the coveted and totally-not-made-up best gaming merch ever award.

7 minutes is all I can spare to use this umbrella. It'll break after that and I'll get all wet. Not fun.

Well er, I don't know about the USA, but you've been able to buy Umbrella umbrellas here in the UK for a couple of years...

@ikiryou:

Is the umbrella cheaply made? I just bought RE Zero from the capcom store because I needed a new umbrella.

Erm, it's about as good as any other £5 umbrella would be as far as I can tell. I've actually only been out and about with mine twice in the year and a half that I've had it so I can't really give it much of a review beyond "it kept me dry that one time I used it". It spends most of it's time being an extreme fire hazard next to my Resi lighters.

That is awesome!
A few nights back a woman reporting the news had one of these... Well, maybe not this exact one, but it was a red and white Umbrella Corporation-looking umbrella. Sweet.

I had red & white umbrella without the umbrella label though. It died on me last weekend so I might buy this one.

Nearly as cool as my Code Veronica Zippo....but not quite. Still, given the weather here, I could do with one of those.

Wow, it's almost like you stepped back to 1999. Enjoy what some of us have had for 10 years. Great scoop, skippy.

Maybe you can tell me where my lighter is from Misterjojo.....you sound like an authority on such things.

Seriously though, I cant find any mention of it anywhere. Its an official Zippo that came in a Capcom branded tin, and has Claires jacket motif etched on the front with RESIDENT EVIL CODE VERONICA and a little Capcom logo engraved on the back.

Anyone?

Guys.. guys.. the Umbrella logo is, get this, an umbrella.

You've been able to buy this particular brand of video-game merch since they started colouring 'em red and white; early 50's I think?
