Did anyone make a copy of the Marmit website sometime before 2010?

    At least ten years ago, the Marmit site had a page with links to pictures of the parababies line and other toy lines. The page is still up, but the yellow links to the toy pages are all dead.

    http://www.marmit.co.jp/marmit_plist.htm

    The Internet archive has captures of the individual pages for the toys, but not the images. I'm looking for the images of the parababy toys, and I'm hoping someone had the foresight to scrape the site using a web crawler.

    I know about Bonemask's thread with the scans from Hyper Hobby 6. I just really want those older Marmit site photos.

    Thanks!

    I went to the Wayback Machine like you did and dug around. I tried a search using the root directory of where the images were kept:

    https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.marmit.co.jp/vpb/*

    There are a handful of links to jpg files there, but most of them seem like thumbnail previews. There are a couple of pictures of complete sets, though:

    You can also try just looking through Google's image cache of everything on Marmit's domain. Could take you a while but you may find something:

    @Roger Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like there are just a few Parababy images still hosted on the site from a special Spectraman release.
