 Post subject: Help me gather info (and pics!) on rare MOTHER stuff!

I'm trying to bulk up Game Swag by adding info pages on every piece of EB merchandise that was ever made, but I need some help. What I really want to add next is that phone t-shirt, but this: http://starmen.net/merchandise/apparel/phone.php is the only real info on it and it's woefully insufficient.

Here's what I would like to know:

Does anyone know the official NAME of the shirt? (MOTHER 1+2 Phone Shirt sounds weird)
How was it sold and how much did it cost?
What sizes were available?
SM.net says the shirt was limited - how many shirts were made?

Is there an archive somewhere on Itoi's site with more information? I don't know how to search for that sort of thing.

I have some goodish pictures thanks to Onion's work in the Auctions thread, but I could always use better ones if any of you actually own the shirt (wishful thinking??).

Any help would be appreciated. I'll most likely be back another day craving information on some other item. Thanks in advance!

This guy says his/her parents bought it for them for Christmas, so I don't know if it was a event-only limited edition thing.

After some more sleuthing, looks like it was sold through Itoi's site for a very limited time in 2003.

Not sure when it went on sale, looks like the deadline for ordering was May 24, 2003. 3,300 yen.

Thanks! It's weird because "dosei-san" is in the title, but the shirt has nothing to do with Mr. Saturn. Should I use that as the official title anyway?

That's what I was able to put together. Mato, please fix, change, or add to the page if I messed something up or missed something. I don't know what the Japanese on the shirt says, for instance.

The MOTHER 3 Deluxe Box page is lonely and sad; it needs some words! I can gather all the important details just fine, but I remember there being a lot of pages on Itoi's site about it when it was announced. I think. Does anyone still have those links handy? Or any rare info that might help me flesh out the description? We have enough pics there thanks to my itchy shutter finger, heh.

Hey, you owners of the M2 mini figures - can you take a few pics of the mini Ness with different backgrounds for me? I need to make pages on GS for every single Ness figure, so it'd be nice to have the main images just a tad different instead of using the same one over and over.

It's so difficult to get decent-quality pics from Japanese sources. Anything I find are either super tiny images or extra blurry for some reason. I'd like to see that bandana in more detail, but I've never seen any good pics of it :(

Not that I'm volunteering him without asking or anything, but I do believe LT has one of those... :D

I also just want to say 'wow' at the price the Mother cart went for. $200 is some coin.
