«©NCSX» Banpresto vends a collection of four Nintendo Game 'n Watch Vignette Dioramas which may elicit mirth or at least a knowing smile from early 80s gamers. The background of each setting consists of a yellow Game 'n Watch faceplate with proper positioning of buttons, LCD and logo. The title of each game is also located on the faceplate. Each diorama recreates a scene from classic Game 'n Watch gaming as follows:

(A) An Octopus is about to choke a helmeted treasure-hunting diver.
(B) A rescuer on a boat saves plummeting Parachute people from Jaws.
(C) Man wearing a Manhole-cover hat saves reckless walkers from peril.
(D) Chef juggles sausage links and kitchen duties while being assailed by varmints.

Each diorama measures approximately 10cm square (4" square) in area and 7.6cm (3") tall. Sculpt quality of the figures is very good and the paint job is fairly immaculate although there are slight bleed areas in some of the creatures...especially around the teeth of one of the vermin in Chef.
