This komes kourtesy of Mortal Kombat ko-kreator Ed Boon. According to the tweet this accompanied, what you're looking at is the stop-motion rig used to capture the various frames of animation used for Goro in the original Mortal Kombat. It's pretty incredible to realize just how teensy that model was, as well as how much the game development process has changed since then.

thats pretty crazy awesome ,i wonder how much hed sell for?

That's sweet.

I love that it looks like a Junior High science fair project.  Either that, or the sequel to Weird Science.

That's awesome. I used to have a Goro, Scorpion and Sub-zero figures back when I was a kid, I miss them :'(

High tech stuff indeed. Awesome.

That's awesome.

Awesome dude.

that is awesome.

"thats pretty crazy awesome ,i wonder how much hed sell for? "

Why haven't they sold action figures of this? *waits to be proven wrong*

Those are just actually an over-sized desk and lamp

It keeps moving dammit, "put tape on it". The light's not high enough, "books and that cookie jar thing... do it... tape it down".

That is hilarious

Look at that, just look at it, doesn't that deserve to be in some kind of a Museum of Games?

Time is moving rapidly people and we got to do something to preserve our gaming past.

Good stuff.

Awww... lookitthelittleguy... he's sooo cute!

Ray Harryhausen would be proud of that.

Sweet insight.

That's pretty badass. :o

You guys run some weird ass "news" stories. Seriously, what the fuck.

I new it was made like that, but not that small.

"Komes Kourtesy" is effing terrible Ryan.

The comments starting from Black_Rose to Canberra all have "awesome" in them, I thought that was pretty awesome so I thought I would share it with you.

That model is goddamn tiny, it's amazing how much games have changed since then.

Where's Jorden Mechner's brother?

"as well as how much the game development process has changed since then."

Indeed. Pretty awesome though.

Damn, awful lot of "awesome"s in the comments. I'm not debating that it is, but that's a resounding response if I ever saw one.

wow. Insane find !
If I had unlimited money IRL and a huge house I´d buy that and put it in my art gallery.

Kool!

That is so awesome haha really cool to see how it was done in the way back when

I want that.....

Awesome.

Very professional... biscuit box taped to some books to hold that lamp.

mm danish cookies

haha that is extremely cool. Sweet to see how times have changed.

Wow, that's like epic. Should be in a museum.

Sweet. It would have been cool to see more pictures of the little guy, though.

He looks bigger in real life...

why, my memories of him have all but shattered now.  Goro.. small?  NooOOOooOOoooo.......

doesn't matter how big or small he is, he was still cheap as fuck!

Heh, I love how ghetto it looks with the desk lamp and tape. But that was the good old days when 4 people could get together and make a game.

Dude, Awesome!

Wow, cool.

They should do stop motion character but with super high resolution and a shit load of a frames.  It'd look so weird but it'd be awesome.
