It doesn’t matter how old you are, its ok to admit that minifigures are awesome! OYO Sports Toys have turned some of your favorite athletes into minifigure form. Having yourself turned into a minifigure is almost an honor, just like seeing your favorite athlete turned into a character on Family Guy or The Simpsons.
One of the best things about their minifigures is the fact they are completely compatible with other building products like LEGOs. Having a feature like that is great because building toys such as LEGOs are very popular and trying to create your own building product to compete wouldn’t work that well. According to the OYO website, it looks like they make minifigures for the Phillies, Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, and Rangers. It also looks as if they have plans to make minifigures for football, hockey, and more sports. These just aren’t cheap knock-offs either, they have all the proper licenses to use the team names and logos. I like how they just didn’t slap a team logo on a generic minifigure too. They took their time and concentrated on the individual facial features as well. Very cool!
Christmas isn’t too far away, and if you have a young sports fan these might be right up their ally. Don’t forget about Bleacher Creatures and Lil’ Teammates too.
You can follow OYO Sports Toys on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Ever wonder what it would be like to see Shane Victorino fly a spaceship? Well now you can.
