Robocop

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me!"

Right when i was ready to post this yesterday, the internet went down and only just came back on. So here is Day 7.

The Amazing Spider-Man (TV series)

When I was a kid, I remember flipping through the channels and stumbling across the live-action Spider-Man series. Although it wasn't on much (it was just the occasional rerun since it was the 80's) it had a huge impact on me (along with the Hulk tv show). Seeing a real live Spider-Man in action was just amazing. So amazing in fact, that I begged my mom to make me a Spidey costume (which she did!). 

So here's my tribute to that slighty weird, not-quite-right, but-no-less-cooler, version of Spider-Man's costume.

Raccoon Mario

For today's illustration i decided to go with Raccoon Mario. Even though Super Mario Bros. 2 is my favorite of the original trilogy, i can't deny the greatness that is Super Mario Bros. 3. All of the new power suits were just too awesome with my favorite being the elusive Tanooki suit.

I would scour the levels looking for that tiny little bear/raccoon/whatever-the-heck-it-was suit, eventually find one and then of course accidentally run into an enemy before i got the chance to turn into a statue...*sigh.*

At least you could always count on the good ol' Super Leaf. It might have been a poor-man's Tanooki suit but at least you could still fly.

And i decided to give Mario a little wrench (who i affectionately refer to as Wrenchie), since I was always disappointed that there wasn't a wrench weapon in any of the games.
