So this is my entry from the previous BG Blitz, depicting Stan from MI selling a full stock of second hand adventure game characters. I thought it might be fun to post this as an 'identify them all' mini-competition thread. Every featured character comes from an adventure game. I know some of them look pretty generic, and for those I added a gadget or a specific piece of clothing that might ring a bell.
Feels like fun for anybody?

Can't place 7 or 10. The rest I'm pretty sure of:
Spoiler
1. Laverne (DOTT)
2. Bobbin (Loom)
3. Robert Foster (Beneath a Steel Sky)
4. Zanthia (Hand of Fate)
5. The Arrogant Man (Trilby's Notes/6 Days a Sacrifice)
6. Fingus & Winkle (Gobliins 2)
8. Gabriel Knight (GK1)
9. Faye Russel (Flight of the Amazon Queen)
11. Indiana Jones (LC/FOA)
12. Guybrush Threepwood (MI series)
Edit: Just realized who 3 was after understanding what was on the shirt (first I thought it was a Star Trek sort of emblem, making me think Space Quest 5) - very subtle reference there :)
Spoiler
0. Stan
1. Laverne from DOTT
2. Loom PC
3.
4. Kyrandia?
5. The Tall Man
6.
7. Infinity String? Don't think so..
8.
9. FOTAQ chick.
10.
11. Indiana
12. Guybrush
Fun thread, would love to see some more (especially if you themed it--Lucas Arts, AGS, Sierra, Sci-fi, etc)

7 could be
Spoiler
the alien skeleton jigsaw puzzle from THE DIG, maybe?
Trent, glad you like it =) I'm kinda enjoying this so I might come up with some more, though theming would make it easier to figure out.. then again, I could be more in-depth then. I'll think about it. And all you got were correct save no.7.
GarageGothic, nice job, all that you got were correct.
Snarky, interesting idea but that's not that.
And forgot to mention, four of them were not playable characters, just remarkable NPC. And that includes the 7 and 10 nobody got yet. I admit they're both tricky ones =)
7 sort of looks like a scorpion skeleton...
7 looks like Arj0n said, but I'd like to add that it seems to have a female head with black hair and lying on its back.
It does have a female head and it is lying on its back. And it is a scorpion-like thing. Yet, remember that in this picture the creature is simply stocked in Stan's jungle shop. In the actual game it wasn't quite as dead as it looks now... :=
Is number 7...
Spoiler
The temptress from Lure of the Temptress, as she appears in the very last scene of the game?
Great idea, by the way.
Akril15, thank you, glad you like it. And congratulations =)
This leaves us with only one character unguessed, no. 10.
Hint:
Spoiler
She was one of the two main female NPC in the third (I think) part of a well known adventure game series.
Spoiler
1. Laverne from DOTT
2. Bobbin Threadbare from LOOM
3. Looks like a Roger Wilco starcon uniform
4. Zanthia from Kyrandia II
5. Reaper dude from Grim Fandango
6. no clue
7. Plenty of games feature scorpions, e.g. QFG2
8. a guy with a mirror... could be Gwydion from KQ3
9. no clue
10. Deanna Troi from any star trek game
11. Indy
12. Guybrush Threepwood
I'd say 10 is
Spoiler
the girl from Disc Noir
but I'm neither sure nor able to remember her name. :-\
Carlotta?
Agh. Yeah, you're right. (http://onlyagame.typepad.com/ihobo/images/office.jpg)
Radiant, you got
Spoiler
1,2,4,11,12 correct.
Okay guys, you solved the last one. That's Carlotta indeed.
This was fun to me too, so I might come up with the next round =)
Wow, the human characters in Discworld Noir really made zero impression - not even seeing the screenshot I can remember that dame. Thanks for a great game, Kastchey - that was a lot of fun. Hoping to see another round soon!
Woo hoo, nicely done 'Tosh!
Can't wait for another one Kastchey, if you end up doing one.
~Trent
Hm, I'm not sure, but maybe 9 is
Spoiler
Dr. Schneider from LC?
Spoiler
No, it's not... her mirror is a hint.

I suck..Does Stan count?
I guess, though the sign on the left provides some hint :=
And you got them correct.

It does, we just didn't play the same adventure games. My used characters would be way different. A discnoir character would be good for example.
Then who do you think number 10 is? :)
Edit: And I meant that the 'Stan's Used...' sign works as a sort of a spoiler for identifying Stan.
btw, shouldn't it be "Stan's previously owned" instead of "Stan's used" ? ;)

Why? ???
Because in MI2 he had Stan's Previously-Owned Vessels, Stan's Previously-Owned Coffins and also owned Stan's Previously-owned Restaurant Supplies. But

that would give it away too much... :) The Stan's Previously-Owned Vessels was also known as Used Ship Emporium.
Okay, that's true enough :)
Perhaps, but this image was an entry for a competition titled 'Stan's Used... ?', hence this sign.
I'd kill myself if I couldn't identify Stan alright. ;D
