New VIPER Day!?  What all did you get? (And is there anything I'll be jealous about?)

I've got some new stuff coming in next week myself.

Yeah, the Mika one isn't in M1, but it is in Island 1. It's the victory shot for the falling clothes mini-game. Never got why victory for Mika leads to that image, but can't complain.

That last one looks a bit like one of the animations in CTR, from Asuka's dream where Captain is having sex with Miki. Only that doesn't look like Captain and that doesn't really match up with any of the frames anyway, so I dunno. That does look like Miki though.

I didn't get too much, but I got both Collection boxes now..

Argh, I've been wanting Box 2 for a long time now.  Did it come with the telecas and postcards?  If so I'm coming to your house and robbing you.  :smalltran

Were these from the fella on YJA who doesn't post pictures with his auctions - he's had Box 1 and 2 for sale a long time but his prices are high in comparison to others and he doesn't include pictures, so his stuff generally doesn't sell.


Mika from M1, but I don't think this is in M1.
Haruka, only 2 layers,
All the layers, BG, Takako, hari, blush, mouth..(but no rough sketch)
Miki

Yes, I'd seen those on YJA.  Nice to know they ended up in a good home.  I'm not that big on the original art myself unless its a piece of promotional art (stuff that ended up in art books instead of games).  I just feel that the animation frames aren't as collectible (unless you had the whole sequence), though I give high marks for that one-of-a-kind Huruka with the Chyu candy.  Its a shame it doesn't have all the layers, becuase it would then be your best piece.


Also, I had this in my collection for a while now...

I don't recognize it but I can confirm its not VIPER and not a VIPER scene cut from any game.  The guy's hair is too long and the girl's hair between ears and eyes doesn't match Miki and breasts are too small for Miki.  I'd say this is a cel that an artist who worked on a VIPER game did for another game.

If you can give me a higher quality image of the kanji in the corner, maybe it'll shed some light on what this is.  A link to the auction page you bought it from may help, too.

Ahh okay, thanks, no wonder i didn't see it in M1.

yeah, it's definitely not Miki, but thanks anyways.

Yes, it's comes with everything, telecas, postcards, manuals, posters, registration cards.)
i agree with was over priced, but i figured what the heck.
and yep, the very same guy.

I'm honestly glad you feel that way about the animation frames, because those are the ones I value most.
so I don't have to worry about bidding against you on those frames.
I'll probably try to snatch up any ones that come on YJA, or any other sources.
you can have the original promo art work if you want.

The link is long gone, I've had this for years now.

I got three sheets of this, the third looks to be a correction sheet.
and they are just photo copies, if it's definitely not viper, I'll probably just end up giving it away..

Curses!  If the seller had posted pictures it would have been mine ages ago :bigtran

I presume then that you're going after the Miki/Captain artwork for sale now.  I think its a little overpriced but its undoubtedly drawn by Edage Katsura.

Unfortunately, its not an artist's name.  It's 掛布団, which means bed cover (or more accurately, futon cover)


That last image with the big bright eyes looks very fmailiar, but I can't place what series I may have seen it in.

I had my doubts of the authenticity of the auction though,
but I was kinda glad it was real.

Yep, i'll probably go after any drawing by Katsura, aggressively.
i'm going for both, but the guy only bid on one of them.

Kinda sucked, i got outbid on an Asuka drawing in last few batches,
I was traveling during the time it was ending, and couldn't increase my bid. :(

I was told it might be related to the Pretty Cure series, but i doubt it is that.

has he ever worked on a h-game or hentai?

On another note,
I just realized those high res scans of PureGirl, floating around on the internet,
the one with Cala on the front cover, is an older scan of mine..
checking the nicks in the scan, i can see it matches my copy.  Hah cool!

It could be Keiji Gotoh, but I don't think so.

I don't think he's done any h-games.  Just stand alone pictures and very little of it is H.

Rinkya would charge approx $379.33 for that (including shipping to their Tokyo-area warehouse).  Add more for the shipping to America.

Is that USD or CAD?!

USD.  If I'm right about the fee structure, 25000 yen would convert to about $333.33 using the current effective rate.  It's only $2 shipping for a cel, a $20 surcharge for being over 1000 yen, and $1 extra charge for each 1000 yen over 1000 (ie, 24)

Rinkya's great on both the low-end (under 1000 yen there's no surcharge, just price + shipping) and on the high-end (over 10000 yen or so, where the surcharge aren't proportionally as significant.)  They suck badly in the middle though.  The average non-cel, non-doujinshi 1000 yen item costs me 28.33 right now (13.33 price plus 15 shipping), while a 1001 yen item would cost 48.33.

(Ugh, COA server is giving large post errors again....)


... That's a 70% increase once the threshold is passed.  I really hate the surchrages I have to pay on the 1500 and 2000 yen items and if the fee structure was more linear I'd actually buy a lot more.  I grudgingly accept it when I can combine with other items from the same seller and only pay the $15 shipping charge once.






Also... a NEW VIPER DAY for me!

Honestly, not much though, a much smaller shipment than normal as there hasn't been alot of worthwhile stuff for sale on YJA lately, IMHO.  I got a 1995 Calendar/Poster, an F40/Guynarock fan, a couple of new VIPER doujinshi I've never seen before, and a new in package Asuka+Miki COSPA t-shirt.  I also got a few non-VIPER related things from the Takahiro Kimura realm of awesome.

For everyone else, I got in a few more art books to sell, but nothing I didn't already have (help change that by buying some at SDM!).  I also got some doujinshi I've had before but had previously sold (the first Variable VIPERs, and V-MAX), and a nice copy of VIPER-M5 that includes the deck of playing cards, which I've never before offered for sale.

I'm going to spend an evening or two gawking at this new stuff and maybe put up the new photos and post M5 for sale over the weekend.

Here's the stuff I got about two weeks ago.  I was going to take pictures and post this stuff last week but I was much too busy, as you all know.


FOR ME:
* Asuka/Miki COSPA T-Shirt -- awesome and new-in-package
* F40/Guynarock Fan
* 20th Century doujinshi
* Dark Memory doujinshi
* 1995 Poster Calendar
* Sogna Showroom Charity Flyer -- I haven't translated the whole thing but it seems to indicate they'd be closed during the holidays for cleaning or moving and hosting a charity auction event in January
* COSPA ad -- looks like they may have given this out at the Sogna store to promote the VIPER t-shirts and Zippo lighter
* FACE MIX ad -- another ad that may have been given out at the Sogna Store. Looks like this company did the Akira costume, not COSPA.


FOR YOU:
* VIPER-M5 -- with those neato playing cards
* VARIABLE VIPERS -- back in stock!
* V-MAX -- an old doujinshi I've never sold before, and one of the rare ones to have Angel Dust and ToToCal Cyomi stories
* Sogna Store Paper Bag -- the GT1/RSR version
* Sogna Store Paper Bag -- the M5/RSR version
* COSPA Laminated Bag -- COSPA store bag with GTB cover art on one side and CTR on the other

Visit the For Sale page if you want to buy any of this new stuff.
