UPDATE: Edited to look more authentic.
UPDATE 2: Proportions corrected to be used for actual VHS clamshells
UPDATE 3: Purple lines at the bottom cropped out
VHS was discontinued in Japan as recently as 2016 (it was discontinued in 2008 here in America.) As a retro-nerd I feel sad that VHS is gone, and 2016 was the point at which I started hating this decade (social media, Trump, SJWs, modern pop music, everything I love getting discontinued, made obsolete, or banned for not being politically-correct.)
Thank Celestia for the synthwave scene…I can only hope and pray that it’ll spark a renewed demand for VHS, and some companies will start making them again. Because f*ck Netflix and streaming movies, I prefer owning my videos myself.

I doubt that he’s planning to mold plastic. It’d be simple enough to use a preexisting clamshell of an appropriate color and just replace the paper with a slightly modified version of this image. And then track down a similarly-colored blank VHS tape and record the video on to it. And then print up some smaller labels on address labels, cut them out, and place them on the cassette. It’s not a huge project and the end result wouldn’t be much different than Hasbro’s own VHS release, if they had one.

My goal with this picture was to make this look like it could really be out now if VHS were still real, so I went with the logo I used because it’s more in line with Dolby’s current logos:
@MorphinBrony
I wasn’t requesting it, but that is interesting that you thought I was. But as long as we’re on this topic, I might as well link to the actual Dolby Stereo logo.
@BridleTimeout
There’s so much classic animation that’s been released on Laserdisc but not since then that I’ve long considered the idea of buying a working laserdisc player just for that one niche market.

You replied to the wrong person, making your reply a non-sequitur. You meant to reply to BGP#0545.

They do not what?
No they don’t.

I did not realize that it was a vhs case, opps.
@Background Pony #0545
kinda, the only ones I ever see are blank tapes that you can record on, and even then those are becoming rare
It’s a VHS, what did you expect?
Proper embed:
“>>”, the image number, then a “t”. Granted, it’s not as big, but I forgot how to do that in a way that honors people’s tag preferences.

Here you go.

That’s like wanting to build a butter churn
Lookit this sad horse who’s never had fresh-churned butter or buttermilk.
