I recently came across the fantastic website Seven Wonders in the UK.
Go take a look at the wonderfulness here - http://www.seven-wonders.co.uk/index.html
There are hundreds and hundreds (nee thousands) of pages of paper characters available. These are all in the style of the classic Steve Jackson Games cardboard heroes.
There are all sorts of genres, with lots and lots of super heroes, all sorts of gaming genres (including 160 pages of pulp characters), heavy on the fantasy and science fiction (lots - classic, post apocalypse, etc), horror and so forth.

The art is from (according to the FAQ) scanned physical sources. The site owner is completely non-profit, and offers to remove any art that is challenged by a copyright owner.
Is there a down side? The only one I can imagine is that you have to download the images through a download site called RapidShare, but in the FAQ, the site owner (and creator of the figures) says that a redesign is in the works.
The site operates by donations - if you use any of these - donate something. It is worth it!

Extreme awesomeness for champions
This was indeed the most awesome paper minis I could possibly find. I'll definitely help him keep it up, I loved it!!!
Hello folks,
Anyone had downloaded this Miniatures? The seven wonders isn`t online and the email for contact is dead, too...
Hi Allan - Time to update the article. Seven Wonders is gone. The paper miniatures were, however, quite useful.
Yes, please! Where do we get an archive of those miniatures? I have some, but the fantasy ones are really hard to find!
You can use the "Internet Wayback Machine" at web.archive.org to get to many of the items - enter the website address, and then go back to one of the archives from late 2016, which appears to be approximately when the site went offline. The detailed files were stored on a completely separate server, and they all appear to be intact even if the archive site doesn't have the thumbnail.
Does anyone have a zip file of the artwork from this site or any trace of these artwork?
Seven Wonders is gone. You can use the "Internet Wayback Machine" to recover low REZ images. Does anyone have the hi REZ ones by chance?
