Additionally, creating the miniatures to ensure they accurately represented the Video game characters were very important to us. We can’t wait to give kids the opportunity to play with their favorite Animal Crossing characters! »
“The Animal Crossing video game series is about creating a world in which you freely build the life you want, and now with LEGO bricks you can also build that world with your own hands in the real world,” said Aya Kyogoku, game producer at Nintendo.
