This Splatterhouse custom is the definition of badass photo

Reliving painful gaming memories we've repressed is the norm for this gig. Upon seeing Splatterhouse's Rick in glorious custom toy form over at Tomopop, I was reminded how I never did beat Splatterhouse 2, and was forced to shamefully watch the final level's conclusion on YouTube.

For the record, Rick's sprite was freaking huge. In fact, from this day forward, I'm blaming all of my mishaps on his freakishly large sprite. That goes for non-Splatterhouse games too.

The creator, Jin Saotome, has a great picture gallery dedicated to the figure's intricate paint details. Jim was telling me how much he hates it when he sees a particularly sweet toy only to find out it's a custom. I'm right there with him -- we want these things in stores so we can throw money at their designers.

I wonder if they gave these to the employees at Bottlerocket.

This is the 2nd most awesome figure after the Alien figures.

The first level of Splatterhouse 2 makes me think "This is the best game ever" when I was 8. Glad I beat that game and Altered Beast when I was a kid.

This game could be a citizen kane contender too. :D

It's okay Devore. I never beat Kingsom Hearts. I gave up halfway and watched everything on YouTube and paraded around like it was the best thing ever.

Then I gave up on the final boss of Kingdom Hearts II and watched the ending on YouTube only to beat him the next day!

And to this day I still lovez my Kingdom Hearts.
