That was the link I posted.  It is a really cool resource when looking for some of the less known stuff.

Edit: Oh, they updated it at some point...

Haha, so you did. I somehow missed that completely. tongue

Note the missing headphone indicator. The purple one is not exactly a Fortune. The Fortune SY-3000B (aka Bitman 3000B) has a different groove pattern, and also has plastic buttons instead of rubber.

Recently, while browsing Taobao, I stumbled upon a weird one:

(The bottom middle one. The bottom right one is obviously a clone, possibly of the Kongfeng variation.)
It is definitely not a regular blue PIL, they had black decals and black buttons. Maybe a very, very well made clone? Anyone familiar with this variant?

That blue shell is very pretty but probably an aftermarket shell/knockoff clone. The purple one on the bottom right is just gorgeous. I've seen other clones like it but in grey shells...I've never seen a purple one. I'm quite partial to purple.

Huh, I did not know that. It does look like the Wario gameboy has a chip in the paint. I find it funny that Nintendo would paint an existing gameboy.

i'd love to know if they printed the start/select/logo text on first (and just painted a grey case)

maybe the site is faking it for their image's sake (?)  you'd think they'd just repaint it them...

that is pretty weird though

According to Wikipedia the Wario one was a limited edition one given away in the UK through a contest on the show Ghost Train.
I seem to remember reading about the Kirby one and seeing more pictures of it before, but I can't find anything on it any more.

EDIT: And yeah, the picture I posted in the OP is up on Nintendo's UK site. Pretty sure they wouldn't use it if any of the pictured systems weren't legit.
