Recently acquired from M, these pieces were used both in house by Yamamatsu as well as by their salesmen for their catalogs. Many of these pieces ended up in sticker packs, magazine editorials and gachapon candy machines during mid to late 1979, sometimes even early 1980. The book itself isn't a 'book' as the original document was not included nor are most of the promotional quality images shown. Several of these were done by in-house Yamamatsu artists on their advertisement team with the official clearance given from Sotsu Agency. In particular, the only piece that appears to be from Sunrise's Studio II is of the Gundam with the early yellow v-fin as it was done in late 1978.

From what M remembers, there were well over 50 to even 100 samples in the catalog, primarily of this size. I recognize some from stickers, however, these are on cardboard and are 8 x 10 inches each just about with CMYK color separation printing. If he is able to locate others from his storage, I will update the gallery.
