Gonzo Sega artifacts: Rare promotional Dreamcast First Aid kit, Fanta Saturn?

11:34 AM on 05.23.2008

We simply can't pass up stuff like this when it comes along. UK Resistance spotted a rare Dreamcast-branded first aid kit, complete with bandages and wrist gauze worn by an escapee of The Yellow Submarine. I think I would rather bleed to death than soil something this rare and ridiculous. I wonder what it might fetch on eBay?

This peculiar image was also posted alongside a Fanta-branded (yes, that Fanta) rare Sega Saturn taken from Sega Europe's Flickr that we assume is part of the Want to Win it promotional campaign. Is a four-button white Saturn II coming? Did Dr. Robotnik shoot JFK? Is there no posterity in video game marketing? Things were so much better when they just used to put Outrun logos on half-naked women.

Sigh.

Oh snap, that DC first aid kit HAS to be worth a few bucks on eBay.

Also, Fantum? Sounds a little too much like the Phantom. Actually... It sounds exactly like phantom. Say both outloud. Don't worry, I'll wait...

See, what did I tell you?

outrage

Um, the date on that bottle for the contest for the Saturn is June 29, 2008. WTF?

dephect

I am so confused... what exactly is going on? Is that a saturn with just a fanta logo slapped on the front of it? Is it a new saturn? explain yourself now!

Reeper

That image actually looks kinda shooped. I dunno :|

A first aid kit? What the hell? They should make a Wii first aid kit, for all the flying remote related injuries.

I too wondered why a saturn was on my Fanta cans as I consumed them. What a choice of console!

kevinski

Man, I'd love to have that first-aid kit.

That 1st aid kit is pretty snazzy I would almost cut myself so I could sport a bandaid.

Do we still like Atlus?

They need to know, apparently. The cryptic pink image above just arrived in our email inbox, and those of folks subscribed to Atlus' newsletter. I still do, certainly, but what is this about? Could it be related to something they had 'no plans' for?
