FINAL FANTASY IV
YANG PROJECT #472 CREATED: 2011 "The Baronian Kingdom has mobilized its forces to get our Crystal of Air! The one called Golbez is behind the attempt." Yang Fang Lieden was a Karate Master of Fabul, and the last surviving member of the castle's forces. He meets Cecil on Mt. Hobs while fending off some ambushing monsters, later agreeing to help him stop Golbez. After traveling to the Underground, Yang bravely sacrifices himself to stop the Super Cannon from destroying the Dwarves. He turns up later in the Sylph Cave, unconscious but alive—eventually making a full recovery and ascending to the throne of Fabul. I made Yang out of a Ninja Wolverine from the X-Men Ninja Force toy line, which was great because he was muscular, had no shirt, and already had the right pants and shoes and claws. I had to cut off his nose and raise it up to make room for the new moustache, and I also carved out the inside of his mouth. Shredder from the original TMNT toy line donated a belt, and his sash is made out of parts of a Star Wars: Episode I Darth Maul cloak. His earrings were from a Dhalsim action figure and the ponytail is from Cammy, both from X-Men vs. Street Fighter II. There is an optional side quest in the game where you can find the unconscious Yang and wake him up by hitting him with a frying pan. So, naturally, I had to make him one. |
