10/05/2014: Unfortunately, Imageshack has deleted all of the images/scans posted due to changing their website. Please see page 5 of this topic for an updated list of all of the available scans.

The issues of Comic Bom Bom I ordered a while back finally arrived, so I took the time to scan in the various Telefang/Bugsite/Dino Device adverts inside them. There were quite a few to scan so I apologise if this list is a little unorganised. There was a lot to go through and sort out.

Also, I couldn't help but notice that the main character from the V-Master manga looks a lot like Crypto's evolution: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/256/vmastermangapage.jpg/

The Bee/Cat lady from Blender Bros. also reminded me of the fox/bee denjuu from Telefang 2 as well: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/228/blendbrosadbee.jpg/

I haven't looked at them all but there's awesome unused prototype stuff in the first issue's ad wow!!!!!

There's a totally different D-Shot and what I think is an unused Denjuu and while some of the screenshots are obvious mockups I want that prototype and wow more info coming to wikifang when I'm less busy

This is awesome and I apologize for being overexcited aaaaaa

No problem! I had fun looking for the ads. Glad they're proving useful ^^

Is the prototype the one with the differently coloured screenshots?. I remember one of the ads having unusually coloured screenshots compared to the final game and I wondered why. I'll have to take a second look.

Duuuude this is hella awesome. XD I was really hoping we'd be able to see these someday, thank you for the pictures!
For he record though, please try to post the direct links to the images in the future, since imageshack has popups and tends to make stuff lag badly... :/ Alternatively you could zip them up and upload them on mediafire, it'd make them a lot easier to look through. *nod*

The Bugsite pencil board looks cool, I'm sad I missed out on that. XD Which issues did you get by the way?

You're welcome ^^ Sorry if the links are giving you trouble. I don't know how to use stuff like Mediafire and I don't have any programs to zip up files or anything, so that's why I didn't use it (although I know you guys do). I usually use imageshack because it's easy to upload and you can link straight to the images without having to download anything (and in case people don't have a program to unzip the files). I copy/pasted the first link I was given when the pictures uploaded. I thought the ones I had posted were the direct links (perhaps i'm wrong ^^;).

The ads really are neat though. There's a couple for the Telefang toys and also an ad for the little antenna figures that came with Telefang 1 (Fungus' figure is pink!). Sanky mentioned there's some promotional stuff in there as well (which is at the top). I looked at the scan yesterday and there seems to be a 'win' screen as well as a screen with skulls (not sure what that's about). There's also a prototype D-Shot and an unused blue elephant denjuu as well.

If you're curious about the issues I bought they're listed in my first post. All the scans are ordered by what issue they were in (there's a little title above each set of scans). There were a lot of issues to go through this time, but it was definitely worth it.

Oh, so you're missing all the issues between May and October 2000? I was wondering if there was any more super-early pictures of the game like in the May issue... So did all the issues you get have Telefang/Bugsite/Dino Device things in them?

There was actually a whole lot of stuff I wanted to see in these issues, particularly anything about the Medarot games in 2000 or early 2001 (I'm guessing there's multiple pages in every issue). Any color pictures from the Medarot or Telefang manga would be really cool to have scanned too. ._. Anything in color from Bistro Recipe would also be awesome, as well as chapters/pictures for Granbo from the 2002 August or September issues... There was also a manga called Mikazuki that I wanted to read, which was only released in Bom Bom from November 2000 to April 2001. >_< I dunno how much of that you'd be willing to scan, but any of it would be greatly appreciated. *nod*

Anyway, you really should get winrar or something, since it's a useful type of program to have on your computer. XD If you have it you can just right-click a folder and select "add to archive" to make a zip or rar out of it. *nod* Really though, any program you're using that can open archives should be able to create them too.
As for using Mediafire, you seriously just go to mediafire.com, click the giant "upload files" button and follow the instructions. It gives you a link (click "copy link") which you paste into your post here. It's very simple, so I'm sure you could figure it out. ^^

For Imageshack, when you upload more than one picture at a time, there will be a section at the bottom-right of the page that says "get links and codes for all images". Click inside the box and then copy the text, then paste it here, and you'll have nice direct links to all of the pictures you uploaded. *nod*
Direct links are different in that they only show the image itself, instead of the stupid imageshack website. Here's the difference:
Normal: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/208/tele1ad20005.jpg/
Direct: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7458/tele1ad20005.jpg
You can tell when you have the wrong one because it will have a / on the end. For pictures that you've already uploaded, you can get the direct link by dragging the picture into a new tab and copying the address. Alternatively, you can right-click the picture and look at "properties" or "image properties" and copy the link there. Feel free to edit your post to use them. :D

Thanks for the tips, I didn't know there was a different way to direct link on Imageshack ^^

I didn't manage to get any of the issues from May to October 2000 since there were none on Yahoo! JP Auctions that I could see. There were quite a few ads for Telefang/Dino Device/Bugsite in each issue I bought, although a couple of the Comic BomBom's I got didn't have any. Telefang and Bugsite got the most coverage, as you can probably tell. There were no color pages for the Telefang or Medarot mangas as far as I could see in my issues. I think only Telefang 2 got color pages and I only remember coming across one. I do remember seeing some Mikazuchi stuff as well. I think there were a couple of the manga parts and a couple of ads.

This is epic! Thank you for posting everything for us to see!
On one of the Telefang 2 ads (can't remember which one) there are some screen shots from what appears to be a really cool 3D commercial for the game (it says CM next to the pics). I would love to see that commercial one day because from just looking at the pictures,it looks amazing! :rex:

I had a second check through the Comic Bom Bom pages and came across of couple of Bugsite/Dino device ads I missed the first time round. A small piece is missing out of the Dino Device ads unfortunately, but it's only a small bit of damage that doesn't affect the ad too much. I also scanned some ads from two other monster raising series, Granbo and Animastar. There were nearly 20 ads for Granbo (the series got a lot of coverage). I also scanned some Bistro Recipe ads, a Medarot page, and some miscellaneous ads of games that weren't heard of outside Japan (or aren't well known) that I thought you might like to see.
