Custom Sprites:
– Adventure Island: Master Higgins
– Battle Circuit: Pink Ostrich
– Mega Man: Fire Man
– Karate Champ: Judge
– Street Fighter: Cammy – Super Street Fighter II fight stance
– Marvel: six of the suit-wearing thugs from Capcom’s Punisher arcade game
– Illmosis Network: Upski Daisy (Beans vs. Cornbread)
– Kirby: King Dedede
Sprites:
– the Punisher: added Jigsaw and Hawke. Just checked the file properties and it looks like I had some of those sprites ready in 2009 and forgot to add them to the gallery.
As usual, all these new things have been added to the main Image Generator, where you can make (and right-click save) your own images like the one at the top of this news post!
ToyBoss: photos of the amazing Storm Collectables Tyris Flare have been added. I’m still in a bit of shock that official Golden Axe figures are even being made, but even more shocked that I have Tyris. If the Gilius Thunderhead is still available when I get my money back up again, I’ll get him, too. I bought mine at BigBadToyStore, but Entertainment Earth has them, too.
BTW: just in case you haven’t heard, Jada Toys recently teased new lines of Street Fighter and classic Mega Man action figures, and samples will be shown at San Diego Comic Con. No news about the scale of these figures yet, but I’m hoping they’ll be in 1:12 scale to fit in with Marvel Legends and G.I.JOE Classified. Funko made a nice Mega Man and fully on-model and poseable Dr. Wily a few years ago and I hope the new figures fit that same scale, too.
