Revision as of 08:58, 25 May 2024

A Tomba! point-of-purchase (POP) kit^[1] was produced to market the first Tomba game in retail video game stores.

This specific kit contained the following:

Three small cardboard stands featuring character art and a sticker with the projected first sale date of December 11 (note: ultimately, the game would not be for sale until December 25). Removing the sticker reveals a post-release text.
A card with a pre-release text on one side, and post-release text on the other.
A window sticker of a pig snout, the logo, and the text "ブッタマゲー！" which means roughly "Pig-tacular!"^[2] It has an opening for holding the aforementioned card.
An instructional leaflet with text and illustrations.

The instructions leaflet contains a list of the package's contents and then two sections for properly setting up the kit.

The first section is about the cardboard characters.

The second section explains how to set up the door sticker.

↑ A POP (point-of-purchase) kit, also called POS (point-of-sale) kit, is a set of promotional materials for display in stores, such as posters, stickers or cardboard displays.
↑ The slogan ブッタマゲー！ is a pun on "pig" (ブタ) and "to be extremely amazed or surprised" (ぶったまげる). (weblio.jp)
