I've finished correcting the Disney Gummi Bear collection, a forgotten series from the 80s set in a medieval, Lord of the Rings-esque world with trolls, ogres, dragons, witches, wizards, kings, and of course, Gummi Bears.

The family consists of:

* Zummi Gummi, the father and wizard of the family. His accessory is his magic book.

* Tummi Gummi, the gluttonous one in charge of agriculture, is a sort of uncle who is also valiant in combat when needed. His accessory is his field scepter.

* Sunni Gummi: the teenage bear obsessed with fashion and a reflection of rebellion against the clan's rules. She is also noble and adventurous. Her accessory is an "ogre-crushing" hammer.

* Gruffi Gummi: the tough, construction-minded, and occasionally grumpy one. His accessory is a large axe. He is the strongest and most skilled in hand-to-hand combat of the Gummi clan.

* Grammi Gummi: She is the matriarch and cook. She is known for using kitchen utensils when facing villains. For this reason, her accessory is a rolling pin.

* Cubbi Gummi: He is the youngest member of the Gummi clan. He dreams of being a knight and often assumes the role of a masked figure to enter the fray. He is a swordsman and uses his very rustic wooden sword. Without a doubt, he is often the one who sets things in motion.

* Duke Ightorn: He is the villain of the series. He is a traitor to the crown who intends to seize the kingdom, the crown, and destroy the Gummis along the way. This becomes his highest priority, and he leads a truly enormous army of ogres. His weapon would be any generic sword; he doesn't have a specific model.

* All the weapons are together in the same model pack with the same texture, which includes an alternative texture converted to grayscale so that Cubbi's sword can be reused for Pucho's sword.

A while back I made several generic ogres for this program, so Duke already has his troop of henchmen ready.

Things that probably nobody cares about:
Of these characters, I have Zunni, Grammi, and Sunni in my figure collection. They came in surprise eggs. Those three eggs were the only ones I received as a child; I asked for them quite often but they weren't very common. I was lucky to have different characters.


Next, we'll put together the DuckTales pack.

I know I gave you a lot of things you wanted; do what you like when you can. I like you all and I'm glad you're on the waiting list. Thank you so much.If you can, when you have time, correct Miah's leg, that would be fantastic.

Side notes on flaws I saw in the models:

Trapito has a loose straw hair on his head; either join it or remove it.

I think Professor Neurus is the best modeled, and he's the main villain. He has his weapon that can practically shoot all kinds of things.

I fixed Pucho's eyes and it looks great. He also uses a Viking helmet and a sword in some versions, although 90% of the time he appears as the model with his green cap. Specifically, the sword is the same as the one from another model I captured (the smallest of the Gummi Bears). As soon as I find them, I'll provide that sword in a wood texture for the bear and a steel texture for Pucho.

Super Hijitus seems like he could be a nightmare to animate because of the way his cape is attached almost to his torso, although he's the most suitable for combat since he'd be a match for any standard superhero like Superman.

Anteojito could use a slingshot and a team rally to motivate a teammate by pointing. Basically, he doesn't have any other powers besides leading or throwing a rock.

Antifaz, on any generic basic character that can throw something, would be suitable. He's the most human-like in proportion, and perhaps easier to animate than the others because his legs aren't so short.

The Boxitracio doesn't have the best kangaroo tail; perhaps using Dino's tail from Flintstone would be appropriate if we're being picky. It should look good on any character that throws punches for animation.

Ketchup has his punching tool and could be an interesting cartoon villain. I'd have to add the connection of his guns behind his neck to the texture.

Truku is the model of the robot from Neuros. In fact, with enough money, you could make an army of Trukus, which would give him more gameplay options.

I've put together a pack of characters that I animated in videos based on Marvel comics, and I captured some models. Some are a bit large, while others range from 2000 to 3000 polygons and are more suitable. Many are overused characters like Storm, Gambit, and Jean Grey, but some others don't currently exist in Freedom Force vs. 3R in any version.

I'm also gathering the secondary DuckTales characters I captured, correcting their textures as best I can. I might include them in both packs once I finish reviewing all the files and have clarified which versions, probably sometime this weekend.

The Gummi Bears are also captured; I only found half the cast among my files, which is why I haven't uploaded them yet. I'll probably upload those three packs later, as they'll be the last ones in good quality.

I've been restoring textures for the characters in one of Argentina's longest-running and most famous comics: Anteojito by GarcĂ­a Ferrer.

A boy with a thirst for knowledge and adventure, who faces time travel and all sorts of crazy situations in the city of Trulala.

Some of the characters are so cartoonish that of all the ones I tried to capture, only a few turned out acceptable.




(IT MADE ME WANT TO PUT THEM IN THE STREETS OF TRULALA, EVEN IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT)
(I INSIST I DON'T HAVE RD'S TALENT FOR DIORAMAS BUT IT WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO PUT THEM STANDING TOGETHER!)

List of successful characters in the comics:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/mdgcv9v3wv4pfi2/ANTEOJITO+GARCIA+FERRER.rar/file

Goodboys

Anteojito.
He is a boy and the protagonist of the comic; he is an adventurer.


Antifaz.
He is Anteojito's chemist uncle. He helps and accompanies his nephew in everything. He might throw a bottle of acidic chemicals as a weapon.


Trapito.
A scarecrow boy who comes to life, who even had his own movie, and it's one of the saddest movies ever made. The character is adorable and can hit and withstand quite a lot since he's made of wood.


Super-Hijitus (Hijitus's superhero alter ego).
Without a doubt, he is the most important superhero in Argentina's history (since PatoruzĂș the Indian isn't strictly a superhero, although he could certainly be considered one). He is a boy who has a magic hat; he goes inside it and comes out transformed into a superhero, able to fly, with super strength and resistance.


Boxitraceo:
He's a yellow boxing kangaroo. Professor Neurus originally wanted to train him and use him as a henchman, and he did so briefly, but because he's noble and adorable, he ended up joining the good guys.


Villains:

Professor Neurus
He's an evil mad scientist who's always trying to steal things, from money to anything of importance.


Pucho
He's Professor Neurus's henchman and right-hand man. He's quite strong, though a bit lazy.



Ketchup
He's a musclebound henchman of Professor Neurus, brute force in the style of Popeye's villains.


Truku
He's an evil, super-strong robot created by Professor Neurus. The ultimate fighting rival.


There are many more characters from this comic that could be made, but many turned out badly. I'm removing the watermarks and repairing the textures in general.

I had these figurines when I was a kid: Boxitraceo, Pucho, Largirucho, and Anteojito.

Quote from: Randomdays on December 12, 2025, 02:28:31 AMThanks! Downloaded. I guess "Sack" means "jacket"?

I couldn't get it right, so I used a translator. They look great in the game :D

Great job bringing these three to life!

I noticed that the texture on Uncle Waldo's eye had a ghost pupil, so I fixed that and a few other things on the sack. I realized that in the tree, you pointed to the texture from outside the standard folder inside the skins folder. I also changed the color of Uncle Waldo's sack to purple. I'll upload a link to both textures; they look great!

FANTASTIC WORK WITH THIS!

Diorama for the Hoppity Hooper Show.

Hoppity Hooper is probably the least well known of the shows done by Jay Ward. While both the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show" and "George of the Jungle" have official restored releases, and the Cap'n Crunch and Quisp/ Quake commercials are out there, Hoppity is mostly forgotten.

Each Hoppity Hooper story was made with a narrator, and had multiple chapters with cliffhanger endings with funny sayings like Rocky and Bullwinkle. RnB stories could by dozens of episodes long, while Hoppity stories were almost always 4 long. Depending on the format, you either got all 4 episodes in one show, or 2 with old RnB stories like "Peabody and Sherman" or "Dudley DoRight" in the middle.

In the "Ferkle to Hawaii" episode (the only one I remember from being a kid), Hoppity and friends must drive the Ferkle windup car to Hawaii in three days. While driving the car underwater, they're confronted by an angry octopus and a submarine driven from the crooks of RAT (Rotten Assassins and Thugs)

Octopus, car, windup key, submarine, crab and oyster from the models resource.
