Man Catalogs Star Wars Action Figures With Help Of Pixel Art

If you’re to take a trip over to Joshua Budich’s website, you might be confused by what you find. At first glance it appears as nothing more than a showcase for a gallery of somewhat lame Star Wars-themed pixel art. But as you click further with your mouse, you discover a hidden secret.

The pixel art is just the begining. Budich goes on to document a wide array of Star Wars action figures. I’m not sure if the catalog is a complete Star Wars toy encyclopedia, but the contents are pretty fun to browse through, especially accompanied by the little pixel people (and droids). — Andrew Dobrow

Each model looks like a demolition car gone bad. Maybe even one of the cars used for a monster truck smash rally or a nice eye sore on the local rednecks lawn. For $50, you can own one of these models, if you can call them that. — Andrew Dobrow
