It's a cutesy, super-deformed port of SNK's original 1992 <i>Fatal Fury 2</i> arcade/Neoû0Geo fighting game. While a number of Takara's <i>Nettou</i> titles made it to the North American market, sadly, <i>Garou Densetsu 2</i> was not one of them, thus, it remained a Japanese exclusive. <br> <br> <center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/kramwartap/kramwartap003/N_GD2_screen_zpsb305725a.png~original" border=3> <br> <i>Joe Higashi vs. Mai Shiranui. <br> He just executed his Hurricane Upper(cut) special move <br> [Ï0ê0±0ü0ó0¢0Ã0Ñ0ü0 in Japanese katakana, which romanizes as "Harike-n Appa-"].</i></center> <br> While these figurines weren't difficult to make, they were tedious. All they are is two pieces of cardboard, sandwiched together, with computer printed game graphics glued onto either side, mounted on transparent plastic stands. Repeatedly cutting out tiny little objects with scissors tends to make your fingers and thumb pretty sore after a while, so, I could only handle doing 2-4 of these at a time (and I was also working on <i>Samurai Shodown</i> sprite figures and several papercraft dioramas too), which is why it took me several days to get all twelve finished. <br> <br> <center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/kramwartap/kramwartap003/N_GD2_sprite_figures_zpsf92a4602.jpg~original" border=3></center> <br> <br> <hr width=650 size=3> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 >Materials:</font></b> <br> Cardboard, game graphics printed out on white paper, white glue, lined white notebook paper, <br> permanent marker, and transparent plastic (figure stands only).</p></p> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 >Dimensions:</b></font> <br> Varies from figure-to-figure (I'm not measuring all fifteen of them!), <br> but the "normal" sized characters are roughly 1.0 cm (0.4") wide x 1.7 cm (0.7") tall.</p> <p align=center><b><font size=+1 >Time:</font></b> <br> Six days: June 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, and 28, 2014.</p> <hr width=650 size=3> <br> <br> <center><font size=+1 ><b>REFERENCES:</b><br></font></center> <br> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;Hardcore Gaming 101 <a href="http://hg101.kontek.net/fatalfury/fatalfury2.htm"><i>Fatal Fury</i></a> article. </li> <br> <li>&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Fierce Fighting: Legend of the Hungry Wolf 2, The New Battle</i></a> Nintendo Super Gameboy video game.</li> <br> <br> <br> <br> <p align=center><a href="SNK_artwork.html"><font size="5">&laquo; Return to my SNK Video Game Fan Art Gallery Index</a></font> <br> <br> <br> <font size="2"><i>This is a nonprofit web site. <br> <br> Any and all copyrighted imagery, terminology, etc., depicted on this page belongs to its respective holders/owners, namely SNK and Takara. <br> <br> The repeating background graphic is the Nettou: Garou Densetsu 2 logo from the game's Super Gameboy border. <br> <br> The midi music playing is Jubei Yamada's theme from Fatal Fury 2.</i></p> <br> </td> </tr> </table> </body> <br> <br> </html>
