Shining Blade Famitsu DX Pack
Sega3/15/2012REGION 2

Famitsu DX Packs always bring something extra to the table, and this one's built around pure visual appeal. The Shining Blade Famitsu DX Pack for PSP includes an A3-sized clear poster (297 x 420mm) featuring original artwork drawn by Tony Taka, the character designer responsible for the Shining series' distinctive look, and a 2012 school calendar adorned with character illustrations. The clear poster reproduces the illustration Tony created for the cover of Weekly Famitsu's March 22, 2012 issue, scaled up to a display-worthy A3 format.

Clear posters have a different presence than standard paper prints. They catch light, they pop against colored backgrounds, and they hold up over time without the yellowing that plagues traditional paper goods. Tony Taka's art needs no introduction among collectors of Japanese games and illustrations.

His work on the Shining series defined an entire visual identity, and having an exclusive illustration at this scale is the kind of piece that anchors a display. The school calendar adds a functional novelty that's long since expired in practical terms but carries its own nostalgic charm as a dated artifact of the release window. Famitsu-exclusive bundles were produced in limited quantities through specific retail channels, and PSP-era Shining titles have a dedicated following that keeps demand steady.

For Tony Taka fans and Shining series collectors, this pack delivers exactly what you want: original art, printed beautifully, at a size worth framing.
