[Collectible figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-box-series) are in high demand, and alongside pop culture icons, Thrilljoy is breathing new life into historical figures that shaped the world as we know it with one of its latest launches, [PIX!](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix) Plato.

This display-worthy standing figure serves as both a conversation starter and a daily reminder of the wisdom and insight of great minds. Philosopher PIX! May unbox to reveal Plato but there’s also a one-in-six chance of getting Socrates, and for the ultra-lucky few, Aristotle. Each of these figures is recognizable by their white hair, long beards and togas, altogether creating a coveted, cohesive trio that makes the [blind box experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teletubbies-say-hello) thrilling—especially for fans who want to own all three.
