Star Fox Command Ship Models Released

In a big release on December 4th, Models Resource has released 14 different ship models for download from Star Fox Command. This includes Krystal's Cloud Runner ship. These are all pretty low polygon, as expected for a DS game. Regardless, these have been a very long time coming. I'm surprised it has taken this long, since I know people have been trying to get these models for many years. I'm not sure if these are all the Playable Ships, or if there are few more. We also get the Great Fox 2, the ship the team was presumably lent to them after the Great Fox was destroyed in the attack on the Aparoid Homeworld. There are no ripped enemy ships, however.
Available right now:
- Arwing
- Arwing II
- Black Rose
- Bullfrog
- Cat's Paw 2
- Cloud Runner
- Cornerian Fighter
- Great Fox
- Monkey Arrow
- Rainbow Delta
- Sky Bunny
- Sky Claw
- Tadpole
- Wolfen
Thanks to Nooga for ripping these. And thanks to NJ Fox for bringing this to my attention.

Lily (aka MissMcCloud) released this short video a while back. A feral-style Krystal dances to "Pumped Up Kicks (Bridge and Law Remix)" by Foster the People.
Sorry guys! I'm trying to get back into the habit of posting daily! Thanks for being patient.

First-Ever Dinosaur Planet Krystal Cosplay by YumeAislinn

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.

Krystal Pumpkin

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!

Sora in Smash

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.
Delays and Disaster
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.
