New EarthBound Covers in the 2019 Techo Lineup

August 20th, 2018 | EarthBound, Merchandise

It’s that time of year again! Shigesato Itoi’s website, Hobonichi, is getting ready to release their signature planners for 2019. Continuing the trend of the past few years, there’re some EarthBound-themed covers to choose from:

They got really creative this year. The Pixel Patterns cover is pleasing to the eyes and I like that they did more than stick unedited sprites next to each other. But the clay model ones — WOW! They used the actual clay models from way back when the game was launched, then they created extra stuff (like the Milky well and the Saturn props) to make the scenes very special and nice.

And then there’s the Blue Marble cover:

It’s not technically EarthBound-related, but the MOTHER logo uses this famous photo, just upside-down:

The covers go up for sale next month! Keep your eyes on these pages:

• Pixel Patterns (on sale Sept 2)
• Third Sanctuary (on sale Sept 2)
• Drink Coffee Before Go? (on sale Sept 1)
• The Blue Marble (on sale Sept 2)

Oh yeah, the three EarthBound covers each come with this cute mini envelope too!
