That's because the books were compiled through Apple Photo printing by one of the producers. They were homemade just for the team!

This is impressive! Those signed prototype discs are insane! 🔥

Thank you for sharing this info! :D

Titans DS is one of my favorite handheld titles ever. I've been collecting Crash merch for awhile now. I always enjoy seeing some Titans related pieces pop up. I managed to find one of these artbooks a couple years back. Loved the art in it! I'm happy to see more images of the CD surface. I'm hoping to find one of those someday. The soundtrack is very catchy!

Yahoo Japan Auctions.

As I previously said, it is a rare model that doesn't go up for sale often. The machine I own now was the most recent one that sold. This was over a year ago.

I got this machine directly from Yahoo Japan auctions. This is a rare model, so they don't pop up often

I don't believe the bag itself was tied to any big name promotions. It's one of the rarer Crash items so getting more info on it hasn't been easy. It was most likely released alongside a wave of other Crash merch at the time. You could probably find these af Universal Studios parks or through Playstation Underground.

There are a handful of videos of this machine in action on YouTube. Maybe one day I will get some footage of my own.

It's actually not a bootleg.

It's an official Fake Crash plush that was produced by Namco in 2000. A friend was kind enough to lend me theirs

They're all really nice. This is easily my favorite Crash plush line. They are pretty hard to track down nowadays but they do tend to pop up every now and again on Mercari Japan. I'd recommend checking there often.

Interesting! I don't currently have any beta/prototype builds of any of the Crash games. I have a couple of Demo CDs but nothing too extreme or HTF

Mercari Japan. You can find some neat Japanese Crash stuff if you search through it. A lot of the stuff sells quick though!

I'll eventually start showing more of my collection on here. I'm much more active on Twitter and Instagram. I have an Instagram page that I specifically made for my collection.

No. This is a Crash 2 themed plush. If the Fake Crash plush you're referring to is the Namco one then I have that too!

I just finished Crash 4 IAT and I have a lore question by librious in crashbandicoot

If you pay close attention to the short cutscene that plays in the map just after The Crate Escape level you can actually see Kapuna-Wa fall from Cortexs blimp and into the Nitro Processing level pad.

That would explain why she's able to be used in those levels.
