jvmacross Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Osato Summer Catalog Osato (aka Ohsato) was arguably the most prolific purveyor of Macross oddities during the SDFM era....they made epic use of their Macross license to sell everything from collectible cards to inflatable rubber boats! For the 30+ years I have been collecting Macross, acquiring the various catalogs from the many producers of Macross merchandise has always been one of my most difficult and rewarding collectible hunts. I have been lucky to find catalogs from Takatoku, Bandai and Yamato.....however, the most elusive so far has been finding a copy of an Osato Catalog. I always knew there had to be one...if not several of them. Surely a company known to produce at least 4 different types (and counting!) of styrofoam Macross gliders had to have produced a catalog to facilitate the wholesale ordering of such "fine toys"!! Well, the search is finally over....or at minimum, the proof of the existence of an Osato catalog is finally available!..... Behold! The Osato Summer Catalog!!! Let the Summer of Macross begin!!

jvmacross Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks! I am glad you appreciate this sort of Macross merch. At this point, I am mostly just collecting odds and ends from the SDFM/DYRL era. The hunt is extremely difficult these days, but once in a while something really cool does show up.
