Black Play It Loud Game Boy DMG-01 disassembled on a white, blue-dotted paper towel: the two shell halves (front fascia with the Nintendo GAME BOY logo and the lens film still on, and the rear shell with its empty battery compartment) and the loose grey D-pad and A/B buttons freshly cleaned and still wet, with two green Game Boy cartridge boards (the Tetris carts being refurbished) alongside.

Original Nintendo Game Boy DMG, a companion piece retrobrited alongside the Mark III, disassembled in a clear container ready for the vapour-method retrobrite (a pre-process shot): the GAME BOY front shell with d-pad and buttons, the back shell with battery compartment, and small parts in a jar lid.
