These Mario 64 gashapon toys are even crappier looking than I remember.

I think this is why I didn't care for Tomb Raider as a child.
A friend of mine had this. It's a Where's Wally(Waldo) ripoff. I think the drawn depictions of Sonic stages are actually pretty cool.
Rest of the book is here, if anyone wants to see it allhttps://info.sonicretro.org/Where%27s_Sonic%3F
>>12054519I'm almost tempted to track one down and upload high quality scans.
>>12054506i swear i remember seeing this as a kid
>>12054506I had this. I want to buy it but I have no kids to pretend to buy it for.
>>12054753Anakaris and Bishamon actually look alright
>>12054753To think Capcom had enough faith in Dakstalkers to make merchandise, I want to live in that alternate reality where Donovan and Talbain are just as popular as Ryu or Chun-li.
>>12054931Capcom had enough faith in Darkstalkers to make both an American Saturday-morning cartoon and a Japanese OVA.
>>12054931>I want to live in that alternate reality where Donovan and Talbain are just as popular as Ryu or Chun-liThat's a monkey paw wish.
>>12054491>35-41Lol manlets
>>12054931Japanese agressively merchandise everything. Its not just a modern fad with flavor of the month phone games getting 1000 diffeent keychains and gashapon slop merch. They've been doing it since the 80s. The quality did improve with the arrival of the premium gashapon toys from Yujin. They were 200 yen each. Dark stalkers got 3 different releases, player 2Variants, felicia as a nun etc. These started in 1999 or so.
>>12055042Before anime figures existed as anything but GK (garage kits made by fans), the Yujin SR series was the best yoy could get with prepainted video game and anime characters for obscure series.
Sega too, it wasnt just capcom.
>>12055051Some of the only merch Nei ever got for Phantasy Star 2.
Yujin even made a "history of nintendo" mini console gashapon series.
>>12055089They even include cables. Very detailed for what they were.
>>12055042>>12055046>>12055048Really cool, I don't collect stuff but wouldn't mind a vampire savior toy on my desk.
>>12055128Everything got a poster too. I have a steam hearts poster.
>>12054506>>12054517i still have this, i'll post some pics as well if interested, i do have to go into my loft to get it.
My girlfriend does competitive puzzling and is into collecting sets from all around the world. I convinced her to get some japanese SMW ones and they are a real marvel to look at. There's also some Super Mario RPG ones from the same makers that we're eyeing
Loved this guy as a kid.
>>12055964For me it's
>>12056441Kino box art
>>12055964Link seen some shit.
>>12055826Sure. I don't think there are good quality scans online yet.
>>12056441Oh shit, we're posting board games too?If anyone is like me and always wanted to play this since they saw it in Namco Museum Vol.3, I scanned my copy, translated it, and put it on Tabletop Simulator.Pac-Land board game in English is also coming soon, been taking me forever do it though cause trying to translate stuff without actually knowing much Japanese gets pretty soul draining and Pac-Land's rules are three times the size of Druaga's.
>>12056441don't show this to dobson
Early Nintendo Power calendars with the fucked up looking sprite art
Having this and a set of coloring markers was heaven for 7 year old me. Easily my favorite coloring book.
>>12058120gets funnier the longer you look at it
>>12058120this kills the CRT filter fags
>>12059068Nope. People knew about raw pixels even on CRTs, see: mario paint stamp (sprite) maker
>>12056434>Melee designskinosovl
>>12059696Melee uses the OoT designs yes
>>12054459This one's my favorite. It just has perfect aesthetics.
I feel that Sonic 2 badge is mandatory for any OG 90s Sonic fan. Just a piece of history.
>>12059710I was able to buy a complete set a few years ago.
Here's some of the stupid shit I have
>>12055848That looks sweet. I don't believe I've seen this art before.Would you happen to have a wallpaper of it?
>>12054459I had one of these.
>>12058120I love those calendars they're so campy.The 1990 calendar used some 3D models like this goddamn skeleton
RIGHTONBABY
This is my pencil sharpener from '93. Official merch apparently since it's got copyright on the bottom.
Some more shit I scrounged out of the cabinets:Mario / Zelda bedsheet set.'81-82 Pac Man (was functional 10 years ago, don't have C batteries rn)Functional Pokemon Pikachu tomogachi-like thingSome DKC stickersStickers from Pokemon Snap (from a kiosk?)And a binder full of '90s-only cards incl Japanese and 1st editions. If you look you can see some Tech Deck grip tape on there too.
>>12055101Man, the SNES Mini was smaller than I remember, but I guess you don't need more for an emulation machine.
I have the Super Mario Bros plastic plate shown in this print ad for a McCain Kids Menu promotion. Used to have the cutlery too, but it's been lost.There's surprisingly little info about this stuff online, the ad is French but this was in the UK too.
>>12056434I’m not even a Zelda fan I think the franchise is boring but I think the OOT designs are the best in the franchise. honestly feel like older designers were just better.
Retro toys are one of those things I honestly have zero nostalgia for. I don't miss cheap figurines or 5poa bricks that feel like they're made of chalk and look like they were hand painted by a vietnamese slave using unthinned lead paint and their toothbrush. Modern toys are so much better it's not even funny.The only thing that really sucks is when there's no good toy of a character's retro designs. Or if there's some shitty ugly remake and they pass off the remake designs as the originals in the toys. Like it took them forever to make a decent Doomguy toy after they already made dozens of DOOMSLAYER toys. And all the Ratchet and Clank toys are based on the PS3 designs. And all the good Crash Bandicoot toys are based off the remakes and shit-ass 4. As a kid all I had were those microscopic gachapon Crash figures that I can't even find online anymore because they've since made gachapon toys of the shitty crash 4 designs.
>>12059765The boxed set sells for around $120 now, which isn't too bad when you consider that it's a quarter-century old now. The only real expensive FF8 toys are Ultima Weapon, Omega Weapon, and of course Ragnarok.
>>12060107None of that is really stupid. It all has its charm and sentimental value. >>12060774That Pac-Man game sucked as an early attempt at hand-held gaming, but somehow it has charm and charisma that make it still worth having.
It took awhile for them to get Mario right in toy form, this plush makes him look like a pizza place mascot.
For me, it's the world map pencil case
>>12061738
>>12054931I want my BB Hood spin off that plays like Metal Slug.
>>12055086I keep meaning to stop at the ice cream truck that goes around my town to get one of these, just to get the wrapper to keep
>>12056441Theres a super mario bros board game too.
>>12060774I have those bed sheets, but as a set of curtains. Idk if they just re used the same design or the ones i got were turned into curtains.
>>12061521I feel the opposite. My friend gave me a bunch of Neca figures from various franchises that were all designed to be anatomically correct to the characters from the movies they were from, and super detailed faces, and they just don't interest me that much to look at on a shelf. If i wanted a batman to display, i rather just pick up a decent toy from the 90s.
>>12061521>As a kid all I had were those microscopic gachapon Crash figures that I can't even find online anymore because they've since made gachapon toys of the shitty crash 4There was a whole line of cool Crash action figures in the 90s.
>>12061721For me, it's this ugly bastard.
>>12061771It's a whole bedroom set. Sheets, pillow cases, etc. I'd like to buy get some of the old nintendo world sheets and make some shirts out of them.
>>12061541>It all has its charm and sentimental value.Thanks.You guys cyberbully me and call me a manchild whenever I post my things, so I have to pretend it's stupid, gay, and cringe because I'm insecure lol heeheehaha.
>>12062146Fucking cringe collection, manchild, but that's a pretty neat Geno. Did you get it off Etsy or somewhere? Nintendo is retarded for not doing a plush set for the remake.
>>12062265Why would he ever reply to you after that?
>>12062265lol. Yeah from Etsy. It was by MetroidHat.>Nintendo is retarded for not doing a plush set for the remake.I know. A lot of the promo stuff they did was just so damn boring compared to the original, I couldn't be fucked, and I'm not paying goddamn thousands for a single plush, not even for one from my favorite game.I do however have a neat remake store standee of Mario, gifted by a friend.>>12062315lol
Buncha stuff already posted in this thread. Probably last shipment from j-pan for a long time, now that the orange emperor has put in place the weeabo tax.
>>12058120das it mane
>>12062146i'm not like that. I don't like picking on people. And I get why people collect the things they have because I am a sentimental collector who collects things on sentimental value.
Can't search my stuff right now but I bet more people here had this one. I remember seeing it on at least two other friends or cousins houses.
