Here's an ad for a UFO catcher that's all in Japanese.
What makes it interesting, is that it's from 1991. This was, of course, the first year of Sonic which shows that they went into merchandising almost right away. The dolls it dispensed are pictured in the ad (and can be seen on Sonic Plushes Japan) and it does include 'string legs' Sonic which was known to be a very early plush. You can also see that the machine itself is Sonic branded with pictures of him on the dispenser flaps as well as on art in the back of the machine. The bottom graphic illustrates how a user might be able to grab a doll from it. It's an interesting ad to see because it is so old!
