[Animec] Mobile Suit Gundam Menko Concept & Promotional Art Vol. 2 - ANIMEC 機動戦士ガンダム めんこ 宣伝用の資料 VOL. 2

 















Another part of my purchase from M. These pieces are printed on cardstock with a glossy laminate over traditional CMYK printing. Many of these would become menko, a famous Japanese card game, though many of them did not get the cut. A lot of these illustrations depicted came from several Animec magazines of the day and eventually were sold by Animec in their shop in Tokyo. 

Many of the illustrators are uncredited, though I can make out works from Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and Kazuo Nakamura primarily, there are other animators I recognize though cannot name. Other works range from promotional images from late 1978 to early 1979 from the earliest promotional pre-broadcast books and materials. Many of these were painted as cels. Overall dimensions for these in particular, as found are the size of a standard letter size piece of paper. 

I call this Vol. 2 as there are actually 3 sets of these items, all with different sizes and artwork. These are organized in no particular order but were scanned as found. Light touch up/color correction was done to others that were fading, though for what they are, these are records of very obscure materials. These actually have the Sunrise copyright insignia alongside other materials, so these may be near final proof of concepts. Based on the art, these were done between 1978 to 1979 at best, some from the earliest Poppy school books.
