Quote
Jim Ryan, President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment :
"Recently, we notified players that PlayStation Store for PS3 and PS Vita devices was planned to end this summer.
Upon further reflection, however, it’s clear that we made the wrong decision here.
So today I’m happy to say that we will be keeping the PlayStation Store operational for PS3 and PS Vita devices.
PSP commerce functionality will retire on July 2, 2021 as planned."

Storm Collectibles: Golden Axe Death Bringer and Death Adder Jr (Limited Edition) Promo Images





Quote
Death Bringer is the secret master of Death Adder (and SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive and MS-DOS Golden Axe's final boss after Death Adder) while Death Adder Jr. is the final boss from the beginner mode of Golden Axe, replacing Death Adder.
In Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe for SEGA Game Gear, Death Adder Jr. appears as a common enemy near the end of the game.
The "Jr." in his name was removed in the English version, making it look like Death Adder, the main antagonist, is a common enemy.

You think maybe these toys will garner more interest towards the Golden Axe franchise for possible remakes or reboots?

I hopefully so but I doubt it.
Golden Axe fans were rather quiet,
unlike some Shenmue fans back then who spams SEGA's facebook page asking for Shenmue 3
or Sonic fans who asked for Sonic Adventure 3.

I think the reason why Golden Axe fans are quiet is because they're dwindling in numbers. Kind of like fans who want another Conan the Barbarian movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tey've been barking up that tree since 1984.

It's why if Sega ever decided to make a Golden Axe movie I'd rather it be the spiritual successor to Conan the Barbarian.
