MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 15hYour final 3D scanned Super Mario Bros. 2 board game pawn, and the final one to complete the set (!!!), is..... Hammer Bro! His thousand yard stare and white knuckled grip on his hammer clearly communicate his fervent desire to inflict blunt force trauma. archive.org/details/kesh... 0243 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Today's 3D scanned Super Mario Bros 2 board game pawn is Lakitu, who jealously guards his cloud as he looks down upon the Mushroom Kingdom and judges all that he sees. archive.org/details/kesh... 0171 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Your 3D scanned Super Mario Bros. 2 board game pawn today is... Cheep Cheep! That menacingly vacant expression... archive.org/details/kesh... 1232 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Fun Fact #2: Dracula's mountain is just a modified version of this pebble from my garden. 070 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Today's keshi scan is ANOTHER pawn from Bandai's Super Mario Bros. 2 board game! This time it's... Goomba! This week is going to be all SMB2 pawns, by the way. archive.org/details/kesh... 0191 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Today's 3D scanned keshi is a board game pawn depicting Buzzy Beetle, from the Bandai board game based on the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2! If the figure looks familiar, it's because Bandai reused it in their Super Mario World board game too! archive.org/details/kesh... 1204 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm embarrassed to say that I *just* realized that they named this guy "Mack" in the original localization of Super Mario RPG as a reference to Mack the Knife. Only took me 30 years to get it!😭 1260 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Almost all the character designs (as seen in this concept art as well as that prototype intro) changed by the final game. some of these designs are pretty wild! 1130 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Fun fact: The first part of the video was my attempt to exactly recreate the intro to the first Castlevania game! 090 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Some levels, like The Neverhood, are very unfinished and different. 070 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 04/10/2026After a quick scan through, every level I've checked aside from Space Launch appears to be different from final. Here's the Underworld Lava level in the prototype (left) compared to final (right). 1101 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The prototype build opens with a pretty unhinged (and loud!) intro animation, missing from final, that shows a ton of early character designs. 3266 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I've just uploaded a "Demo Disc" prototype build and electronic press kit for the PS1 game BoomBots, dated from May of 1999, around 6 months before release. archive.org/details/boom... 25511 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You're totally right about that! Zoomoth's keshi offerings were sort of souped-up throwbacks to the old keshi figures of the 1980s, so this is surely a reference to the M.U.S.C.L.E/kinkeshi poses. Actually, since it's essentially a T pose, it was ideal for rigging the model for animation! 010 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 02/10/2026ha ha yeah! Actually, the paint job featured in the video is my attempt at recreating the actual way Zoomoth had their display model painted at Wonder Festival 2014. I think I even read that the sculptor's own son was the one who painted the figure. 010 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Castlevania has just marked its 40th anniversary! To celebrate, I've 3D scanned what is by far the rarest keshi in my collection: Simon Belmont! Created by boutique toy maker Zoomoth, as few as 80 of these figures were ever sold, during just two days in 2014! Enjoy: archive.org/details/kesh... 711533 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Astounding work! The scope and scale of what you've extracted is amazing, and your ability to present it in such a fully featured web tool is top notch. Well done! Quick note: the green armored woman and people robed lord are cut NPCs named Dorey Lean and Ham, respectively. x.com/MrTalida/sta... 120 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Yeah, I've posted scans of nearly the full run of figures. These Ocarina of Time keshi were created by Bandai and came in metallic green and metallic silver variants. archive.org/details/@kes... I use a desktop-based structured light scanner that is intended for dental applications. 010 0

MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Even more recovered Firefly boss fight VO. Visually and tonally, I don't think this Firefly would've fit with the Nolan films. I wonder if the game would have followed Dark Knight's plot at all? Based on the files I can see, it seems you fight many villains, and The Joker is just one of them. 010 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 18/09/2026And here is audio I recovered from what is certainly the boss fight with Firefly which Alfred alluded to earlier. It sounds like he tries to bait you into a fight, only to be undone when the player jumps on his back mid-flight and destroys his jetpack. 130 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 17/09/2026More VO that I've recovered from what remains of this build of EA and Pandemic's canceled Dark Knight game from 2008. These are the only Batman lines I've found in the build; placeholders performed by someone making their best attempt at Christian Bale's bat-voice. 230 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Dug in and seems Pandemic's The Saboteur used the name "Wildstar" in its files too. Was it an engine name, or Saboteur's codename and they didn't update the project name for Batman? Supports @liamrobertson.bsky.social 's research that Dark Knight was built on Saboteur.

MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I'm working on recovering assets from a partially-intact June 2008 build of EA & Pandemic's canceled Dark Knight batman video game, codenamed Wildstar. Here's the Alfred VO I was able to recover. Some of the lines seem like they are actually read by Michael Caine (or a very good sound-alike)! 25915 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I've 3D scanned another figure from Kabaya's Bomberman Ramune series! This one is "Bomber Throw" from Super Bomberman 4. As always, the model file is up on the Internet Archive in .stl format. archive.org/details/kesh... 1227 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 10/09/2026BASELESS SPECULATION: Acanthisitta_Known on reddit noticed that in the UK Zelda Direct, the Majora's Mask logo is modified. It has a new font where the "J" and "r" in "Majora" are switched. That is: they chose to "switch 2" letters. 🤔😲 www.youtube.com/live/S6C7og5... www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comm... 4141 0

MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Digging through an old hard drive, I discovered this Animal Crossing desktop clock widget that had been released by Nintendo in 2005. It seems to have disappeared from the internet... until now! This puts a game-accurate clock on your desktop--complete with hourly chime! archive.org/details/Anim... 3354154 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 04/09/2026One more bit of ephemera I saved from Camp Hyrule 2005: A page of username "signatures" from all the members of that year's winning cabin! I'm guessing this was meant to be sort of like signing a yearbook. 5200 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Here's a another new 3D scanned keshi for you! This time is Poipoi, the michevious mole enemy from Moero TwinBee on Famicom! This figure is from 1986. archive.org/details/kesh... 0200 0

MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Got a new scan for you today! This is a keshi board game pawn of Chargin' Chuck from Super Mario World. This comes from Play Figure 20: Super Mario World Game (プレイフィギュア20 スーパーマリオワールドゲーム) a 1991 board game by Bandai. archive.org/details/kesh... 2517 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I've gone back and rerendered the preview images for all 43 of my Zelda 1 keshi scans, which were among the first scans I did. I've also converted them all from .obj format to .stl format for your convenience. I rescanned Digdogger as well! See 'em here: archive.org/details/@kes... 38525 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I was able to get hold of the previously missing Donkey Kong Country mine cart keshi wheels accessory and scan it for you! Check it out and others from the 1995 Donkey Kong Country keshi gomu set here: archive.org/details/@kes... 1487 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 26/08/2026At long last I can finally share this complete scan of King K. Rool from the Donkey Kong Country set! His tiny crown and banana bunch accessories are almost always missing, so it's a Rare treat that I was able to find them to scan. You can grab the models here: archive.org/details/kesh... 0519 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I've redone all the preview renders for my Super Mario RPG keshi figure scans so that they are more accurate to the real-life colors of the actual figures. Eye-catching! You can see them all here: archive.org/details/@kes... 04913 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 24/08/2026New keshi scan alert! I've 3D scanned this "uncut" version of Dodo from the Super Mario RPG keshi set. Almost everyone tore off these little tags, so it's uncommon to find an uncut version of this figure. Both the cut and uncut scans are here: archive.org/details/kesh... 07517 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Sigh, nevermind! (My max bid, which I thought would be more than enough, was $500). While I scanned the figure itself some years ago, I'm still hoping to scan the accessories for you... someday! archive.org/details/kesh... 1190 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 30/06/2026A few years ago I ripped all of Quest 64's music data and applied modern soundfonts for a series of "enhanced OST" videos I intended to release. The project got out of scope so I never finished it, but here's the Mammon Battle theme, for which I created a fully playable crane game. 27816 0
MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 23/06/2026IIRC early versions of the game story put a lot more emphasis on the playing card suit motif, with some sort of enemy alignment. Kazuyuki Kurashima talked about this in 2023 shortly after the remake came out (but has deleted the tweet). You can see remnants of this concept even in the final game. 2295 0

MrTalida @mrtalida.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Years ago I ripped all Quest 64's music data and applied modern soundfonts (my goal was to upload a full "orchestral" OST to youtube).
