Since by definition pixel art and especially voxel art are just virtual blocks put together to create objects and images, they compare very similarly to LEGO bricks in the real world, and thus it’s not too far fetched to see LEGO creations of iconic video game characters and settings. Heck, Nintendo has even partnered with LEGO for an official Super Mario line, though I’m not really a big fan of their implementation (though I would 1000% buy the incredible LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System if it wasn’t so darn pricey).
