get your inner-otaku on

Insert Credit has this neat feature about replicating classic videogame sprite art into tangible bits using beads-as-pixels.

A member of Personal collections, and also a Toybox Tribe member shared a few more shots of their obsession-level collection.

Here is the head-only hanbañero pepper snack, with the rest of the performer’s body ignored by consensual agreement through the black costume of kabuki and bunraku scene handlers. Tonight he will visit you in your dreams. The Tarako kewpie baby also makes an appearance . ( Warning , page contains cosplayers, and some links to not-work-safe toys and models)
