Just because certain disks, cassettes and cartridges are so outdated that it would be a joke to use them, doesn't mean we wouldn't play with them in other ways. The 'So Analog' line doesn't actually repurpose outdated storage disks, but it is still a cool collection.
Created by Squid Kids Ink, the 'So Analog' collection is comprised of three characters: 10-Doh!, A-Drive and B-Side. Available at D-Con in Pasadena, California on November 20, these would be the perfect gift for your geeky gamer friend.
