A cheap visual gag diorama, inspired by countless Mortal Kombat/Simpsons mashup parodies I’ve seen in the GamePro magazine fan art section way back in the 1990s. Making Bart as Liu Kang and Homer as Goro were pretty straightforward, with some challenges being in the design of Mr. Burns as Shang Tsung. The backdrop and floor were built last; the backdrop was built too small for the characters — and had to be slightly increased on the sides.
The achieve the effect of Bart flying towards Homer, there’s actually a long Technic axle stuck in his back, which then attaches to the wall. I was supposed to give Homer a red belt like Goro, but unfortunately it didn’t look right on his fat belly, so I just sort of stuck the donut on there as a design.
