Couple of shout outs to Super7 Smogun vs. Smogun art by Joshua Herbolsheimer for the release of the second S7 x Gargamel Smogun (pink Hawaii scheme.) Nice surprise on release day ... the line art inside the header card! Unforgettable ... the art for the release of the Gargamel x Super7 "Ava" mini-Hedoran celebrating the birth of a daughter to Brian Flynn and Dora Drimalas. The pink and blue background makes me wonder if the toy would have been translucent blue if the baby had been a boy? Cool detail for geeky nerds ... the binary code indicates Ava's date of birth.
^^ I love that Gargamel x Super7 "Ava" header card It's adorable ^^ Here are some headers I would like to add: Great topic by the way I really love the art on a lot of these headers.
^^ I agree The art on the Tripus cards are sweet ^^ I have one more to add (just got it in the mail a few minutes ago...) : I love the details in this card... and it's a pretty small card too. Size is 3" x 1.5" (inches)
[ This is actually a metal advertising sign that packaged middle-size Bullmarks were hung from. Irutan header and backing card Front and back of Marusan original (left) and Osato Toys (right) finger puppet headers. Some headers and a backing card from Marushin dinos. I like that they used unique headers for each dino in the series.
I love the vintage-style header cards. Elegab's are terrific, same with M1go. Here's a few scans I just made, not all are headers (I LOVE the Toxic Phantom cereal box): And thanks to Joel, here's the concept art for the Skulletor 'Brain set:
Thanks for posting more of your photos Mark, sorry I forgot where that came from. I had a collection from the internet for the artist to reference when he did the Greasebat card, that was one of them.
I loves me some bwana spoons header art: Also the back of this Nostalgic Heroes Booska hand puppet has a cool sticker:
Axolotl- that Kure Kure Takora header is classic! Heres another of my favorites I scanned in the other night, backing card from a Mirrorman 12 inch.
I really like these Elegab headers. [/url] Elegab Header Card (back) by chimply kaiju, on Flickr[/url]
