Sprites:
– Captain America and the Avengers: animated flying sprites for the heroes, some enemy drones, partial Giant Robot (Sentinel), and a few more pickup items added.
ToyBoss: I just got the Billy Lee from Syndicate Collectible’s Double Dragon line of 7-inch action figures and took some photos, including some size comparison pics. Updated my Jada Toys Street Fighter roster pic, now that I have Dhalsim and Guile. Now I only need Dee Jay to be 100% caught up on regular figures.
Dreamhost (where my sites’ accounts are hosted) has been doing maintenance all day (and possibly before), so things may be running slowly or not at all. But I uploaded the update a few hours ago just so I could say that I updated on Wednesday like the old days. Maintenance is still going on after midnight and previews for WordPress posts won’t work, so I’m posting what I have now and fix it when everything’s running at full speed again.
Last year I teased a logo for a solo version of a Superhero Sprite Showcase that I planned to just update a little bit, but a rough last half of 2024 kept that (and a lot of other plans) from happening. To make up for being so late with it, I’ve added much more than I’d have done last year and you’ll see that video on the ScrollBoss YouTube Channel next week. A few of those sprites, including some new villains, will be added to the Custom Sprite gallery and image generator. Here’s a preview:
If you need an extra clue, this hero had a sprite added in this week’s update.
Wait a minute… There are new Double Dragon figures? How did I not know about this?!
Is the head removable (really hoping, so that you can switch the Dragons for cartoon-accuracy)?
Oh, and I just noticed that I missed in last update that Riot City isn’t in the list of sprites. The link from the update works, but you can’t get to Riot City, from other sprites.
I’ve only seen Syndicate’s DD figures on BigBadToyStore for regular price so far. Amazon has them for $10 more, possibly from resellers. I think the heads are swappable because all of the earliest promo pics I saw for them had the heads swapped:

Thanks for the heads-up, the navigation is fixed. The site still seems to be loading really slowly, though.
