Vintage headers

my absolute favorite one, Guru Guru Medaman!

this thread is so full of AWESOME!!!!

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...

^ Great stuff ^

^ aaah

Two of my favorite unsung heroes of the sofubi world- Casshern and Hurricane Polymar!

Very cool thread idea! I enjoyed looking through these. Thanks all for sharing.

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

It ended up going for 31,000円

That is a really nice one. I think I like it even more with the [seemingly] wonky eye.

Bump!

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.
