If it's one thing old school video games have a fond memory of, it's River City Ransom (Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari) on the NES. For an NES title, it had great gameplay, replay value, and the best translated dialogue ever. The game's main characters, Kunio and Riki, would go on to become stars in the various worlds created by Technos Japan.

It's a shame that the game is so old and that figures are pretty much close to none. It's even more of a shame that this amazing, poseable kit is unattainable for us folks. The cast of Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari is captured perfectly it this adorable set with the faces and body shapes mirroring the original art style of the series. What's even more amazing about this set is that Kunio and Riki are not alone. A few thugs await the school heroes and are ready to battle. This is a definite must have for the old school gamer.
