Timing Was Everything
When I was young my parents got us a C64. My favourite cassette was Bruce Lee. I loved that game so much, especially the sounds.

I tried putting some of the screen work, ladders and lanterns around the figures as part of the base, but it just detracted from the interaction between them IMO. Since this is supposed to go on my desk I wanted it to be reasonable simple in construction and able to be viewed from multiple sides.
The hardest call I had to make was the chin part on Bruce. Since it was based on an 8-bit 2D image I went with what looked best from a variety of angles. I could equally have justified making the chin pixel recessed but ultimately went with this one.
The base needs work, but until I get more white bricks (to put sideways) this will do.
