012 Voltes V - ボルテスＶ (Pure Foods)
This was probably my very first poster, ever. This really captures the spirit of the t.v. show. It was a promotional poster for Pure Foods hot dogs (the old school Filipino - which I've always thought was Philippino - version of Oscar Mayer), but I don't know where or how I came to possess it.
This poster is extremely worn, with tape all over the back, and big chunks barely holding on. A collector in the Philippines bought it from me with the other posters listed here (minus the Grendaizer) for $40 due its deteriorated condition. He'd originally offered more, but I sent detailed photos to make sure it was worth anything to him, because I wouldn't have felt right otherwise.
This buyer also informed me that the "posters are rendered by amateur local artists for Philippine distribution only." So that explains a lot about the artwork...though I always thought this was one of the better ones.

ReplyDeleteSorry. I only had one of each of these posters on this site. The Grendaizer is all I still own...and don't foresee selling in the near future. Love me some Voltes V, myself. :-)
