Details: The three Catfight Girls were featured as rare Button Men in the Origins on-site program book. Since they are BRAWL Button Men, these characters have Speed Dice. Unlike the other BRAWL, characters, however, the Catfight girls don't have Swing dice. So you'd better love them just the way they are. We do.
