Namco Dot Graph Sound Figure

Inspired by the Dot-Pin toys from Tomy, Japanese manufacturer Unifive licenses some Namco retro classics and gives birth to the Namco Dot Graph Figure with Sound toys. Instead of using little pins to create scenes however, the Namco Dot Graph Figure with Sound toys feature a 7 x 5 hole-punched pegboard with background graphic which accepts complete figure inserts. For example, in the Dig Dug dot graph toy, there's a Pooka and Dig Dig which are plugged into any one of the 35 square holes. One they're pushed in, you're done with the scene.

Each pegboard measures 7 x 9 cm and six types are available as follows: Galaxian / Xevious / New-Rally X / Mappy / Dig Dug / Tower of Druaga. Two secret variants are packaged randomly in each factory case as well for a total of eight retro figures and four duplicates. The base of each toy includes a sound chip + speaker which is activated by pressing a button to play a short yet boisterous jingle from the game. All preorders ship today and new orders are welcome.
