‘Pato Donald’ Special edition SMS II

[wolfticket]

Just completed this interesting set, The ‘Pato Donald’ (Donald Duck) special edition Sega Master System II. This set was exclusive to Spain and contained the Lucky Dime Caper along with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in. There was also a subscription form you could send away to Sega to receive 4 special ‘Sega’ Donald Duck comics, each of these comics has an 8 page section in the middle pages highlighting upcoming Sega games and consoles. This section is different in each of the 4 comics

Incredible! Didn’t even know of this set never mind seeing a complete version

That's a pretty cool bundle but I'm mostly curious about the comics. Were they sold individually? Or can you provide a picture with the technical details? Usually it's in a column on the last page.

Looks awesome and love those "old-school" Disney comics



Off-topic:
I read the subject line as "Potato Donald", which made me really confused what kind of special edition this was

They were free with the console through subscription, I’m not sure if they were sent out separately or altogether. Here is a photo of the actual subscription form from the console, it’s not the clearest picture but it’s the only one I’ve seen complete, normally the bottom section of the form for sending away is missing





The only technical details I could find in the comics are on the 1st page, the date in them is 1991

What an amazing thread and thank you for sharing. This is absolutely fantastic. Not a clue what those magazines say but the pics sure look nice, haha. Nice one mate.!!

I have come across yet more Pato Donald comics from Spain relating to the Sega Master System II. Although not part of this bundle, these comics all came out around the same time in 1991 as the Pato Donald special edition did. Pato Donald issues 33 & 34 both contain a 4 page section in the middle pages highlighting the Sega Master System II. ‘Tio Gilito’ contains a previously unknown competition to win a Sega Master System II, there were 10 up for grabs.

I have! In fact, that was how I knew the character growing up.
