Expanding the scope a little. Here are some backing cards Bullmar Ultraman Taro large size. Maemura artwork Pachi Mazinger
Wow. I cannot believe the great detail and expression on that Maemura Taro backing. That is simply amazing art and would make a fantastic poster. Honestly, the framing, the anatomy, the position - you can tell so much thought and effort went in this. It is far beyond simple packaging. I also really love that pachi Mazinger. I immediately got that extra 'feeling' Mazinger from the art, and my mind immediately went to the crazier bootlegs, and lo and behold it is a pachi version. Perfect. Love his face, the Z, and the posturing again. It's also interesting how his jet scrander seems a lot closer to the Devilman wings. Heck, they are all great. Thanks for sharing them!
^ Very cool Scott. Reminded me I have this one tiger mask header. Nakajima standard size Tiger Mask Bullmark Mirrorman standard size backing card
Love love love! Such a crazy mix of photos and artwork working so well together! Totally brings back being a 70's kid staring at toy boxes & catalogs...
I wish someone would reissue those Dinos it is so hard to score them at all. That MIP one was really neat to see. Did you score that? I saw it but lost track of time and forgot all about it. There was a IKB Hedoran that was on the cheap too, not sure what it ended at tho
This is such a great thread. It's a real treat to see all the vintage artwork, and to have it all here in one spot to look at.
