The merchandise was unveiled on the official Twitter account of Fangamer as well as Rare appeared to think it was hilarious the length of time it took.
In the words of Rare, Fangamer approached it with the idea first, and the studio was thrilled with it.
Blast Corps is an action-oriented title that did better in-game destruction than most games until that moment for those who did not get to experience the N64 period.
The basic idea behind it is that the player must stop a nuclear missile from escaping its carrier by knocking down anything within its path at every level.
Players will be provided with all kinds of construction vehicles to reach the objective, including demolition vehicles such as dump trucks and bulldozers up to giant robotic mechs.

When they choose, players will sprint around smashing up structures to clear the path before the missile carrier hits something, and the missile blasts off, devastating all of the city.
The game has 57 different levels, giving players countless possibilities for cathartic destruction.
The players can now showcase their enthusiasm for the retro game by sporting the new Fangamer merchandise.
One of the merchandising items is a T-shirt with a mech weight of 120 tons. J-Bomb with jetpacks that allow you to smash down buildings from the sky. Another item is a pin with a sliding design that includes Thunderfist, a mech lacking a left hand.
