@OutofPrintArchive Those clay figures for the marketing materials must have taken so long to make.

This past month I heard on an episode of Retronauts that might have been a Patreon exclusive, about the clay figures for the first issue of Nintendo Power.

I think they were in Gail Tilden’s office for a very long time, but it might have been someone else’s.
But when they were away for a while or were moving offices or something, someone threw them away. 😐

@[email protected] Art of Nintendo Power has tracked down some figures, as well as the Track & Field shoes and Wiley Machine 1.

@[email protected] Before Twitter died, he was reaching out to the people who sent in entries for the Mega Man 6 robot master contest. Some of them responded with updates of their original illustrations or new robot master ideas.
