#uggghhh my stomach hurts I want these so bad 😫

So for a month or two, I took a break from looking at eBay for Powerpuff Girls merchandise (as I’m want to do) and wouldn’t you know it, I missed out on something that I desperately would’ve wanted to buy. 😩

STYLE GUIDES!!! Uggghhhhh!!! 😭

I’m incredibly bummed about missing out because I’m so intrigued by these! So, if you don't know, these aren't guides for anything to do with animation: these are guides on how to use assets for stuff such as advertising and merchandising. It seems that the one on the left is a style guide created after the movie, and it looks like the middle one must have been from the beginning of the series’ run. I’m placing the one on the right in the middle of the two… but like, when? Why did they make another one? Was that one made before the movie (actually, I think the other one might have been supplemental art for the middle one or something… but I’m not 100% sure)?

I doubt whoever purchased them is going to scan them and put them online (so sad!), but maybe I’m wrong. These are so cool, and I really wish I could take a peek and see how these were all written, and what all the differences are between the different design styles and branding guidelines. And I want those CDs! I need those .eps files! 😩😩😩

Nowadays, with the newer Powerpuff Girls stuff, I’m sure people are just getting a PDF and some kind of file cloud link sent to them with all of this information. You don’t get cool physical books like this anymore. Maybe one day they’ll pop up on eBay again and I can snag one of them, but it would’ve been so awesome to get all three at once. See, these are a LOT better than rancid cereal!

EDIT: I deliberately queued this to post before I tried bidding on a style guide I found that was still up for grabs for the PPG movie (not that I don’t love you all but I really, really wanted it and I was 100% prepared to share it here anyway)… and I lost the bid today. I’m even more bummed out! Ugh! 😭

Honestly, if you’re someone who is in possession of one of these or knows someone in possession of them or if you know if anyone has posted these online, please send me information! I really want to see what’s in these!
