General Products Catalog 89-90

If ever there was a testament to Gainax and General Products' ill-fated efforts to break into the overseas market, this is it. It's over 80 pages of black and white photos and bi-lingual (Japanese and English) text describing and showing a broad spectrum of the model kits, books, and random merchandise that was available at the end of the 1980s. Roughly half of the pages are dedicated to General Products' own merchandise, but the other half is a photographic record of kits from the likes of Wave, Kotobukiya, and others. Includes a separate booklet of animation goods and PC software (text only).

Note: The cover (by Haruhiko Mikimoto), oddly enough, was an encapsulation of what was the hottest anime for American anime fans circa 1989.
