Gameboy Light Famitsu Skeleton box.
I’ve seen this special edition system before (of which only 5,000 were produced), but this is the first time I’ve come across it in this black box. Apparently, this is the “Mail Order Version” of the handheld.
The “Event Version” is the one I’m more familiar with, its packaging pairing a whimsically drawn redhead astronaut with a bullet list of features rife with sexual innuendo.

The Mail Order and Event editions are essentially the same — though the latter is marked with a unique number on its packaging — both feature a clear shell and white buttons. As with the Japan-only Game Boy Light, which was about the same size as the Game Boy Pocket but included a backlight and used 2 AA batteries, the Famitsu versions were never released in the States.
You should definitely add this to your “potential things to buy Eric for his birthday” list.
