As previewed earlier, the collection of Peecol figures from German pixel-art group eBoy, has hit Kid Robot retailers. Featured is Bulgr, a ski mask wearing bandit with virtually no respect for the law, considering her carries a glock on him fulltime and is only 3.5” in size. Like all Peecol figures, he is interchangeable meaning you can swap out his top or bottom half with other such figures in the series. Unlike most, this guy is a limited edition though, with only 600 pieces being produced it is hard not to pass him up. Available now at Kid Robot for $14.95
