Proof that Namco will license Pac-Man to put on anything, we’ve found the perfect item for retro-game fans that might get caught short in the rain – Pac-Man Ponchos!
Paladone, the manufacturer state that “These officially licensed PacMan Ponchos are perfect for outdoor events when you don’t want a sudden shower to spoil your fun. Whether you’re headed to a picnic, family reunion, a day in the park or to a football game, these Poncho’s make for a fun protective outfit accessory. Unisex and one size fits all, the set contains two ponchos: Inky the blue ghost and Blinky the red ghost.”
According to reviews on Amazon, they’re pretty flimsy and over-priced.
