Can I replace .obj files? (And where do they show up..?)

Hi! I'm working on Scardy-Cat Edition, which replaces a lot of the scary monster designs with dumb, silly and non-terrifying designs, and I've been faced with a conundrum: there's a number of .obj files under DATA\3D - many of them have an accompanying texture file, and have great names, like "spooper" which tells me exactly what it is.

However, some of them are labeled things like "npc_7_tex" which is unhelpful (that's the Ghost Cow, by the way) and, even worse, some of them have no texture file at all, like "tank2" which does not tell me where it's used.

And, finally, we have the main concern: can I just replace them? I have no idea where most of these are really used, and some of the monsters (like Lisa) have several model part.

Is there anyone else who's tried messing with/replacing the obj files that could help me out?

Edit: to clarify the reason I don't just replace them and test it myself is that I am a scardy-cat and do not want to see the monsters if it doesn't work >.<

FRICK I forgot to mention that this is the original Gamemaker/free version >.<

How do I separate the Investigators Decks??

Tl;dr - how do I tell what cards go into which Investigator deck??

I just picked up the Arkham Horror Card Game from my public library, and all the investigator cards were shuffled into one huge deck. I've noticed that a lot of the cards have a color/symbol combo that matches character cards, but there's also a whole bunch of these random gray/black cards (and no Gray/Black Investigator character card) and, mixed in with these, are Tretchery, Weakness and a few Enemy Weakness cards, though they have the same deck back as the Investigator Cards, rather than the tentacles that the rest of these types seem to have.

While the "Learn How to Play" book features a list of cards for Roland Banks and Wendy Adams, I've got two problems with those as well: First off, it's listing this I can't find, like the Magnifying Glass, and, much more importantly, I'm noticing that cards like "Paranoia" or "Manual Dexterity" have absolutely no marker on them about who starts with it in their deck - and i know that not everyone uses them, since Wendy Adams doesn't use them.

I'm working on a texture pack for a game, and I want to replace one of the enemies with Walter White's floating head.

However, the enemy is pre-rendered to be viewable from multiple directions, with a total of 8 sprites, meaning I need to find images of Walter White from the front, both sides, the back, and the front and back diagonal directions.

I've never seen Breaking Bad, and have been told that I would not at all enjoy it... so, I figured I would come here and ask for help! I've already got the front-facing image, so I'm still lacking the other five. Could anyone point me towards some screenshots?
