By and large, these Pixel Pal toys are pretty lame. Most of the items in the now defunct Pixel Pals line were just boring recolors of Mega Man sprites.

It's 20XX (Hey, it actually is 20XX) and it's time for Noveliss and Mega Ran AKA The Maverick Hunters. The Capcom game Mega Man came out in 1987, with the spinoff Mega Man X debuting about six years later in '93.
