As a lover of all things gaming, and retro titles in general, the offer to take a look at Pixel Pals was just too appealing.
These light-up figurines are full of pixelated glory and feature video game icons from both past and present. The first two in the series are some of our all-time favorites, Mario and Mega Man. True to form, both pieces capture every last detail in softly-lit piece of free-standing pixel art.
Each figure stands about six-inches tall and runs on two (included) AAA batteries. A quick flick of the on/off switch in the rear lights up each faux-pixel and really makes the characters look amazing. These aren’t the type of toys you’re going to want to keep in the box.
