|Bomberman! by Pulsie❤|
------------------------

Bomberman is a great franchise that I hold dear to
my heart, and it has a wealth of content from over
100 titles. In this character pack, characters both
popular and obscure come together to represent
different moments in the series' 30+ year history.
With this version, 16 characters are available,
while more are still planned to come.

These characters are proportionately designed to pair
well with the Bomberman characters made by kompacktdisk
and Adri Villa, so you can combine both sets to
create a decently-sized roster of Bomberman pals!

palette-swaps alongside the head. The alt version
is not included in the PK3 character pack.
