Ben. Ok, now try it like this.
With your back facing the mirror, Hold the shirt about 12-15 inches in front of you(the blue side works best), now hold it up pass your head a little bit and rock each shoulder of the shirt back and forth like you just won a round of Panic Bomber and the shoulders were the win or lose symbles, only much slower, now pay attention to the lines during the transitions from faded to unfaded and i bet you’ll see exactly what im seeing.

This effect seems to be a sort of “microfiber process” thats not present anywhere else on the shirt but the Red and Blue, not even the black of the VB logo on the front or the Black of the VB eyeshade and lenses on the back, turn the shirt upside down and do this and you’ll notice very clearly that the Black does not have this “microfiber process” effect, very well likely making it a genuine characteristic of the shirt.

I imagine this shirt to look pretty trippy actually seeing someone moving around in it.

No problem KR155E. Sorry I couldn’t provide some High-Res scans for you.

I also just want to say that I still have two more order forms left, ones for the Game Boy Original and the other is for Super Nintendo, they dont mention the Virtual Boy but I would still post these in this thread if anyone is interested in seeing them. I know the SNES one mentions a couple of EarthBound items, Im not sure if there is anything significant on the Game Boy one.

Now, surely Nintendo didn’t just send these order forms out to store managers and expected them to know what everything on them was, these 2nd half of 1995 order forms were supposed to come with a fully colored picture catalog showing everything that was in these forms. Unfortunately, the seller of these forms did not have the 2nd half 1995 catalog, but, he did have the catalog for the 1st half of 1995 wich contained what Im pretty sure is the first Virtual Boy ad that store managers seen before the 2nd half of 1995 arrived.(I do not have this catalog in my collection, so the best picture of this ad that i have is just a screenshot from the sellers auction)

Thanks to everyone who found my first PVB thread interesting.

I actually own the Panic Bomber VidPro title card, the only one I have ever seen for sale, its also the very one pictured on this site in the VidPro section with all the other cards. I def agree that these cards are practically nonexistent. I got my eyes open for that Dragon Hopper one myself 🙂

Here’s a Nintendo order form from VidPro International for a 5×7″ VidPro Pocket Plak System. It mentions a Hardware and Accessory Pak for the Nes, Game Boy, Super Nes and Virtual Boy. It also mentions a Virtual Boy 1995 New Release Subscription.

Here’s a Nintendo order form for mostly advertising items. It mentions a bunch of really cool Nintendo memorabilia. It also mentions an adjustable Game Pak “push system” organizer (for all systems to include Virtual Boy) and a adjustable Game Pak showcase organizer (for all systems to include Virtual Boy).

Check out the 2nd to last item on the list for a Video Wall with Housing Frame, only $17,500.00 THAT’S CRAZY! what kind of store would order such a piece?

Here’s a P-O-P GAMEPLAY PROMO VIDEO TAPE/LASER DISC ORDER FORM. It doesn’t mention the Virtual Boy, but these order forms are dated 5/95 so im pretty sure both the VHS and the LASER DISC must have contained some sort of VB footage.

the paper is about 11 inches high about 8.5 inches wide. Just measured it.

Runnerpack, im not sure what kind of paper their printed on but the pages are very thin. I think its that kind of receipt paper if i was to write on the first page it would transfer my writing onto the other pages.

Ben, that sounds way cooler than what it probably actually does. Your guess is as good as mine, I think its just something you walk up to then either spin or flip threw pages of the VB titles that were available at launch.

Heres a nintendo order form for Game Pak Browser Systems. It mentions a VB “spin-page paddle” and a VB “flip-page paddle” for the browser systems. Store managers had to choose wich system would be suitable for their location and then order either a “spin-page” frame or a “flip-page” frame and then had to choose how they would’ve wanted to complete the browser system with 8 different options to choose from. Although none of this stuff mentioned was available at the time they received these order forms. Im not sure if any of this actually ever did become available.

I actually got these forms from a online auction a few months ago. The story on them is they came from a collection closely associated with nintendo, it came with a set of other order forms for different systems like SNES and GAME BOY. It also came with other forms that mentioned more VB stuff wich I’ll be posting in this thread in the near future.

Dont know why it came out side ways and i only meant to send 1 pic… sorry guys but im still getting use to this 😝

Amazing work done here. The 3d looks awsome on the virtual boy.

Thanks for the info johnme,that explains alot especially coming
from the original purchaser of the unit. This system has boggled
my mind for quite some time and now i can give it a rest.

I apologize for the second post but heres a pic

all my adapters are official nintendo products,not performance

concerning the “ac adapter” i guess i could’ve been more
specific.out of all my vb units with official nintendo
ac adapters (not the taps) that say made in japan,this one
came with a official nintendo ac adapter that says made in
china that has a different texture of plastic than the ones
made in japan.pluss the part that plugs into the tap is a
darker grey than the ones made in japan . both different
adapters mention snes and virtual boy on the plastic.
i also forgot to mention that the sticker on that unit is
alot shinier than the rest.
WOW check out the post before this one.
its another vn9 unit

Heres what the seller of the unit sent to me when questioned
about the serial

Well here it is, next to a normal serial #.here are the differences i could find between them.
1) the barcode,letters and the numbers are bigger in size
2) the sticker itself is a bit more rounded on the corners
3) its hard to see in the pics but there is old sticker residue
In the corners not fully covered by the rounded sticker,
indicating there was once a different serial# at one point.
4) out of all my other vb units with ac adapters made in jpn
this one came with an ac adapter made in china with different
textured plastic.
