In 2024 I scanned this Kabuki keshi figure from Ninja-Kun on Famicom.

The figure had some minor damage: a missing bomb wick! I promised I would rescan the figure if I got an undamaged one in the future.

Today I make good on that promise.

Great result. 36 year old game finally sees the light of day after being 'lost'.

I've found and scanned the cape accessory for the God Bomber keshi, a figure Kabaya created for the unreleased Virtual Boy game Virtual Bomberman!

I've updated the Internet Archive page with the new scan.

Ah, right! The Zelda 1 Trophy figures! Those have a 1988 copyright, so they predate this 1989 Zelda 2 figure from Applause. Good thinking!

We finally have a photo of the previously unseen Zelda 1 art on display at the Nintendo Museum.

The cartouche in the top right, subtitled "THE MAP OF HYRULE," depicts 3 fairy/goddess figures unfolding a cloth (making the world?). Miyamoto's signature is on the bottom right.

I got this Medicom Nintendo Series Legend of Zelda Link Ultra Detail Figure about 10 years ago. They did a bunch of amazing work turning old Nintendo art into figures, and this one was especially recognizable. www.16bit.com/fotd/160322-...

And here is my childhood Applause Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Link Action Figure. I'd love to have a fancier figure of this era of Link some day. www.16bit.com/fotd/120403-...

A chart of all the Zelda games that the Zelda 1 dev team worked on

While the sculpt and paint are... unique, it makes for an endearing figure, and possibly the first action figure of Link we had in the West (can't think of any that came out here before it... can you?)

Scanned this as well for Keshi Corner archive.org/details/kesh...

I love the sculpt of this figure! Medicom did some really good work with this line. I made sure to scan this one as part of my Keshi Corner project: archive.org/details/kesh...

ALBW is a wonderful game, and the Good Smile figure is really well made!

Beautiful collection :)

Wonderful collection! You've got all the accessories and even some of the painted variants, too!

It's now 2/21 in Japan, which means The Legend of Zelda is officially 40 years old!

I've 3D scanned a keshi figure depicting Mario, one of seven Super Mario World figures included in Epoch's "Super Mario World Mario's Lucky Coin" (スーパーマリオワールド マリオのラッキーコイン) coin pusher toy.

They came from a drive with files downloaded from Midway's asset database servers.

Here's several hundred art assets from the canceled Midway/Warner Bros. game, This Is Vegas.

It's mostly scenery props and clothing. Some may be the original source assets, not the final game-ready assets. There are even some original Zbrush sculpts!

I implore you to not eat the 3D scanned Kirby!

Your keshi scan today is Quick Draw Kirby from Kirby's Adventure!

Well, he's missing his pistol and hat accessories, so maybe he's not much of a cowboy right now...

I've 3D scanned this Mega Man X figure, from a set of Mega Man X2 keshi that were released by Bandai.

Ah dang, I mixed them up! Thanks for pointing out the correct information.

Whaaaaat! This is the second time I've confused two similar looking Pokemon keshi!

Thank you for the correction!
