"Best Character" |
The "Best Character" poster by T. A. Shida appeared in the June 1986 Anime V. Another poster with a painting by Amano was offered in conjunction with the home video release. |
In about 1986, Volks released a kit to make this
Vampire Hunter D figure (image is from original
packaging). It is very hard to find. The figure is about ten inches high
when completed.

Other Japanese merchandise includes a set of three postcards, a metal pen case, a notebook, a T-shirt, cassette indexes, patches, the settei (character designs), a mechanical pencil, and a 3-ring binder. I hope to add images of these items.
Articles on VHD1985 have appeared in a number of Japanese anime magazines.

Poster |
Urban Vision released two posters using Amano's "Hunter" painting,
one of for the VHS release and one for the
Special Edition DVD. A third poster, distributed
only to dealers, uses the cover art that appears on Urban Vision's
release of VHD1985.
Newgrave #3 includes an article on Vampire Hunter D (mostly the 1985 movie) by the maintainer of this site. Newgrave is not available online, but you can order copies of the magazine from its web site.
