It’s time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 80s-born A Real American Hero toy line with more G.I.JOE sprites!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Custom Sprites:
\n– G.I.JOE<\/a>: all-new sprites for Cover Girl, Doc, Grand Slam, Gung-Ho, Zap, a new Big Boa (made from the same base sprite as the scratch-made Balrog I added earlier this month), and a v.4 (1991) version of my scratch-made Snake-Eyes – fight stance sprite was added.
\n (also, Tomax and Xamot were added two days ago during the Twosday 2022 update)
\n– Street Fighter<\/a>: Vega (G.I.JOE figure, a headswap and repaint of Banzai)<\/p>\n

Trivia: this specific version of Snake-Eyes appears in both the Konami arcade game and G.I.JOE the Atlantis Factor for NES, and most of the mold was reused to make Nightfighter Guile in the Street Fighter: the Movie toyline. These v.1 versions of Gung-Ho and Zap both appear in the 1-on-1 combat section of Epyx’s G.I. JOE game, easily my favorite toyline-based game made when the toyline was still new.<\/p>\n

All these new sprites were also added to the main image generators<\/a>, along with that new background based on the G.I. JOE Headquarters Command Center playset. Yes, finally, a G.I. JOE background! NOTE: if you don’t see a character’s name in that section, they’re either in the G.I. JOE or Cobra character slot. Snake-Eyes has his own character slot, the others (except Vega, he’s in Capcom\/Street Fighter) appear in their team’s slots.<\/p>\n

There will be more G.I.JOE sprites in other updates this year, so keep checking in to see who gets added!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
