    These appear to be remote control RC racers. Instead of cars though, they're racing figures on Sonic FreeRiders boards. You can see a remote control pictured on the box in the far background. Notice how thick the boards are too, to hold the motor, most likely. How will these stay…

UFO catcher japanese advertisement

Tags: Advertisement Japan UFO Catcher

Here's an ad for a UFO catcher that's all in Japanese.
What makes it interesting, is that it's from 1991. This was, of course, the first year of Sonic which shows that they went into merchandising almost right away. The dolls it dispensed are pictured in the ad (and can be seen on Sonic Plushes Japan) and it does include 'string legs' Sonic which was known to be a very early plush. You can also see that the machine itself is Sonic branded with pictures of him on the dispenser flaps as well as on art in the back of the machine. The bottom graphic illustrates how a user might be able to grab a doll from it. It's an interesting ad to see because it is so old!
