My "Reproduction" Godaikin Instructions!

[corellianvette]

So my other part time hobby is collecting Mego figures and I have spent a lot of time accurately reproducing all of the vintage cards. I also did the Bullmark Godzilla and MechaGodzilla boxes.

I got the bug to archive my Godaikin Instructions as well. Since I had an extra Bio Man ST that I was going to sell, I figured I’d take the time to repro the instructions.

Keep in mind this wasn’t just some cheap "scan-and-print" or photocopy.

I take a High-Res scan of the instructions, then I actually re-layout the entire manual using matching fonts, which gives me a 300dpi .PDF.

Anyway, here are the results for Bio Man. Eventually I’d like to do this for all my Godaikins so if anyone has instructions they would like me to do, I will send back your originals when I’m done. Thanks for looking!

what font are you using? always wanted to do a parody of classic Bandai 80s instruction manuals.

what might be a better idea would be to do it 500dpi or higher. it makes the tiny details pop out.

why do you want people to send you their instructions? any mass market scanner will scan @ 300, so why not have people post their scans here on the thread? then you could make your new sheets.

that way, the instructions are widely available for free to everyone, and it can cut down on the ridiculous scalping that goes on sometimes for Godaikin sheets.

That's a fine idea as well. If anyone wants to post or email me a scan I can do the work as well.

Which GoDaiKins are you planning on doing?

Right now, I have the ST versions of the following

Vavilos
Laserion
BioMan
Dynaman
Daidenjin
Vehicle Voltron (Matchbox)

Not sure when I'll get to the color versions. I only have a handful of originals to scan.
