Hey guys. Back in the middle of the 16-bit era, when Takara was porting Neo Geo titles to the Super Nintendo and Genesis, I often saw advertisements for free mail-away items you could receive if you simply Takara an envelope with some postage. If I remember correctly, they were giving away little rubber figures (similar to what you might receive in a capsule vending machine) for a Fatal Fury title, and they were also giving away these full-color bookcover prints for King of the Monsters.

Did anyone here mail away for these and successfully receive them? I periodically check ebay, but haven't found any of these. Does anyone know if the rubber figures were exclusive to this promotion, or maybe just overstock from Japan?
