New SNK Illustrations Book coming out!

Just a heads up guys. This is the 2nd volume of the SNK art books being released. I recently got the 1st one and sufice to say, It kicks total ass. The book had original Artworrk from several SNK games and new pics from KoF 2K and MOTW to cover pics of issues of NeoGeoFreak Magazine from Japan. You can still get the 1st one here and many other places online..

The 2nd book which isn't out yet can be seen here.

SNK bringing some great artworks of them in a book, I haven't seen any of there art books trough. But it is good that they release new merchandise and stuff.

WHAT?! These are the first books you guys've seen??! You didn't know that SNK has at least 5-8 illustration books?! True, these two are the most recent ones, but I've been collecting them over the past couple of years... ever since I started going to anime conventions (namely Otakon... which is happening this weekend, August 10-12). Now that I've told you guys my secret, if you go to Otakon.... I'VE GOT FIRST DIBS!! <IMG SRC="smilies/makeface.gif" border="0">

I have 'All about SNK fighting games' and it's absolutely wonderful!
400+ pages of amazing artwork and informations (even though i can read very little of it <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> ).

Aarrgh! Fighting... urge... to order the book... Will... weakening...

I 0nly have two: SNK illustration and KOF one

Cost a lot of money to get them..... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

SNK illustrations Mook can be had for about 5 to 6 bucks in little Tokyo.

Yeah cheap as all hell.
Its in LA, but you probably knew.
Kind of a rip on "little chinatown"
I got the thing for 5, you have to ask the workers about prices on everything.
Has damn fine art in there to, shows a picture of Krauser in a suit, maybe I could add some photos for you guys?

Quality is great, the cover (a over cover, and by that I mean a second one) over the original. Its a mook, I believe its volume 39.
I will probably scan it this week.

Anyhow you would have to visit all there shops. They are in the toy district. got me resins as well. Fully assembled, the bleeding works!

The prices people pay for these things on ebay is a damn joke compared to the true value of them. In Little T, things that are old, are sold as old items. They had a kof 99 wallscroll, resins of a load of characters.
(*La Blue Girl series*) as well, although thats like 150, and is hard as a bitch to get in new and complete form like they had for sale, they only had one. (the cassette variation, not DVD's for you hentai fans)
I plan to make yet another visit soon, I should have more info to follow up with.

Just scanned this MOFO.
Here is one example. Of a Pre painted Iori, that came as one of a twelve piece set.
They are all prepainted and complete.
36 total I believe.
You can't beat that. The quality aint perfect, but sure is kick ass.
I remember this same figure on ebay, and it was not cheap if I remember correctly.

I have the KOF 97 art/manual book.It's very interesting evenif it's in japanese.

Actually, Bonus, the second book IS out. I actually got the second one BEFORE I got the first one. You may recall that I posted a number of images from the second book some time back.

For the record, I feel the first one is better than the second one, but the second one is still very cool.
