I’ve gotten a few requests to share some pictures of my virtual boy collection. The pictures under my profile are limited to 6..and to try to fit everything in..usually a lot of stuff get’s blurry and a lot of detail is lost.
So, I’ll try to keep up this topic and post new pics as the collection changes.
Had a bunch of stuff arrive this week. What I was most excited about getting was the virtual boy metal pens..never even knew they existed.

Got some vintage shirts in..pretty hard to find. The tie dye one is my favorite so far..it look’s great from both sides. Not sure the best way to display them in my limited area.
Attachments:
The demo here cardboard sign was pretty cool to get..it’s great that it was actually never used and folded over.

Another blockbuster cardboard sign. This one is made to fold over a table. Smaller then you would think (maybe 14 inches long or so). This is where the entry forms for the ‘must see 3-d’ contest were held.

That’s it for now. I have plenty of more stuff, but I’m in picture ‘overload’ atm 🙂

I am amazed that not only does it exist but that you are so “IN” that you can find it and get it all.
Wow, that is true dedication to VB; I see you got the Japanese demonstration cardboard visor. I was bidding on one of those on eBay but lost, they look so cool.
Thanx for the kind words guys.
Right now..it just takes some time and the willingness to have a good wife that doesn’t mind spending money on a shirt you won’t wear..or a pen you won’t use.

A quicker update then I thought. I was able to get a Red key chain with black lettering. Pretty rare..this is only the 2nd one found (mawa has the other). I’ve seen about 5-7 of the other color scheme (black with red lettering). Still need to find that one to complete the set.

It is definitely interesting to see the obscure things you’ve been able to acquire. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit jealous…
For now, I’ll just live my virtual boy dream vicariously through your collection. 😉
i love that red keychain ( now 2 know off in the world )
i am also looking for the black one so iff you find 2 off it i am also intrested 😉
Small update..should have another next week..with something a abit odd…but for now
The Hori 3rd party japanese adapter:
The Hori adapter came out just about the same time as the vboy was released. It’s a 3rd party adapter for the Famicom, Super Famicom, Mega Drive, Game Gear and….the Virtual boy.
バーチャルボーイ is actually on the box (virtual boy) ..and under all the boxes is a statement that says you still need to buy the separate adapter tap for it to work :).
Attachments:
Some virtual boy sunglasses
These aren’t quite as rare as some of the other items..I see the hudson soft pin more often…. but the glasses and playing cards TEND to show up if you’re willing to wait awhile (might be a year or so).
