Perfect timing for Halloween! YumeAislinn, a friend of the site, has been working on a Krystal cosplay over the last two weeks. To my knowledge this is the first ever Dinosaur Planet Krystal cosplay ever! She premiered the cosplay at DerpyCon in New Brunswick, New Jersey this weekend. There, she got tons of positive reactions and many people recognized the character. In fact, she managed to take home the Judge's Choice prize in the costume contest!

She plans to do a proper photoshoot soon. Maybe we'll get to see video too! The convention is still going on.

The cosplay has several notable features, including:

• Giant fluffy tail, custom dyed, sewn to a ribbon and later a carabiner beneath the dress
• Big ears and blue wig to match
• Hand-painted face mask with pen and watercolors, to comply with COVID requirements
• Custom-sewn tribal dress, made from scratch out of pleather
• Copper staff with foam wraps, spray painted and marbled for effect
• Multiple real bronze pieces made by her husband:
  • Forearm Guard
  • Bicep Ring
  • Choker and attached Pendant
• Total cost was around $280

Backstory

Back around February, while doing a Twitch livestream, she had a "special project" in mind if a certain donation amount was reached. It was heavily implied that it would be a Krystal cosplay. Needless to say several people started donating, including a couple large donations, one from me, and another from her own mother. In very little time at all, what was a pie-in-the-sky project was fully funded. We've had the pleasure of seeing her work in progress photos on the Krystal Archive Discord Server. Check out the gallery below for more work in progress details.

Spooky times are here again! Tactronaut on the Krystal Archive Discord Server said that he came home to find a friend had gifted him this custom painted Krystal pumpkin! Krystal's lovely face, the spiral, and #1 Waifu make up this work. Pretty sure this is the first Krystal-themed pumpkin I've ever seen. Well done, Tactronaut's friend!

BambooKat, who has previously made 3D Krystal Figurines and posted them for sale, has just finished sculpting a new Krystal model! The sculpt is a very detailed model in which Krystal is laying down with her Staff in her Adventure's garb. This beautiful 3D printed, hand-painted figurine can be yours for $200.

Thanks to BambooKat for contacting the Krystal Archive and providing info and the photo gallery you see below. You can see much more detail on the model in these photos.

These figures have EXTREMELY LOW availability. If you want one, get one NOW! They will only be on sale for around one week. Contact BambooKat via email at maximax0505@gmail.com or Bambookat#8293 on Discord to set up the purchase.

This morning we found out the final Smash Fighter for Super Smash Bros Ultimate is going to be Sora from Kingdom Hearts, an immensely popular character. To all the Sora fans out there, my sincerest congratulations on seeing your dreams come true. He got in at the last possible moment!

For us Krystal fans, it is a bittersweet moment. No more fighters will be released for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, most likely. However, Smash Bros as a series will continue on. We Krystal fans are nothing if not patient. We did get to see her as an Assist Trophy this time around, which has been great and I'm very thankful to have gotten that much. Until the next Smash game is announced, we eagerly await her chance to shine once again.

Hi everyone! I'm really sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've had a lot of travel and time-critical real life things taking up my time lately. I was just about to get into a lull where there would be more time for updating the site and then... my computer exploded.

I'm not kidding.

There was a loud bang and now the computer won't turn on at all. Probably the power supply. It was a new computer too! No-one has seen or heard of this sort of thing on my computer model before, as far as I can tell. Freak accident.

It's an all-in-one soldered system, so removing the hard drive isn't feasible right now. It's being looked at, but I haven't heard anything for two days. The chances of me getting data off of it are slim. Fortunately (or unfortunately), it was a new computer. So I still have backups from when I made the transfer from my old computer two months ago. That computer is what I'm using now (which is also kinda broken). Plus, I wasn't working that much on the Krystal Archive at the time, so Krystal related losses should be small. All that to say, it means that I need to spend some time making sure my computer situation is stable and rebuilding the data I've lost for a while, trying to make sure nothing like this can happen again.

It's probably going to get worse before it gets better. Thanks for your patience.

On this day in 2002, 19 years ago, Star Fox Adventures was released for the first time, changing our lives forever. Sakurai called out this fact on his Twitter account today and even gave a little shout out to Krystal!

PumpkinSoup (Abby Davis) has finally publicly updated the Star Fox Adventures comic she's been working on consistently for years on Patreon. If you have been helping fund the comic, this is nothing you haven't seen before, but for everyone else, you get to finally catch up on tons of content for the first time in a long while. Now, they're still updating the comic blog with new pages that have been out on Patreon for a while, so that means over the next few days and weeks, more and more pages will be added, hopefully at a regular interval.

HUGS!

Artist Tassy has just completed a Krystal painting of Krystal titled "There You Are", and it is up for bidding right now. The piece is 18 by 14 inches (45.7 x 61 cm), made with acrylics on watercolour paper, cold press 140 lb. You can see work in progress shots here.

At the time of writing there have not been any bids. If you would like to bid, the starting bid is $300 and has a minimum increase bid of $10. Shipping not included. Bidding ends on Sunday, June 20th. Though the auction will extend if there is bid-sniping. You will need to place bids in the comments of the FurAffinity post, which requires an account to view and comment.

It's that magical time of year again! Time to see what Nintendo has in store for us. There's some expected titles like Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4, but otherwise Nintendo has done a pretty good job keeping their presentation plans under wraps.

Will we see the Star Fox series make an appearance? Krystal? Only one way to find out! Watch the livestream on June 15th at 9AM Pacific (12PM Eastern)! Whether we get Star Fox and Krystal news, or not, Nintendo is sure to surprise.

As for other companies, I haven't had time to watch through all the other press conferences, but I did see Microsoft's (which was good), and I heard Devolver Digital's presentation was good too. All the others were apparently very bad. It's up to you now, Nintendo! Time to shine!

Sorry about the severe lack of posts lately. I'm doing ok. Keeping just busy enough to prevent me from restarting the posts.

Freefox has released an updated model set designed for better 3D printing of a Krystal trophy. It is broken up into multiple pieces for easier printing, along with slots to reassemble the final trophy piece. You can download the printing files for free, right now.

It also looks like Freefox is working on making custom Krystal keycaps for keyboards. Looking forward to that development too.
