I swear as a prank, one of these days, Billiam should commission a fake series of toys and just act like they’re old and something from our childhood just to screw with his audience.
If only people could figure out how the heck to program something like those with an Arduino. Some people in the Digimon 0NL1NE community have tried to make Arduino based V-Pets, but have either given up or have gotten stuck with trying to keep enough room free for sprites. on top of keeping it compatible with the communication system Bandai's V-Pets use.
@@PercyPanleo I remember there was a round shaped knockoff Digimon vpet that looked nothing like Digimon vpets on the long since dead Toys N Joys website called something along the lines of Digimon Onmyoji or Digimon Onryo which had motion sensor based commands but the only knockoff Digimon vpet I can find on Google is Distal4 which is just a straight up knockoff of Digimon Pendulum.
Oh, that meme? I saw it on Reddit once. It went a little something like this: *does something important* Brain: ... *does something embarrassing* Brain: A new core memory.
Here in Brazil they only sold the original set, and of course everyone had them. But I had cousins in the U.K. and they brought me a set around 2006 that was a very big house that had a sort of wheel on the side, and spinning it made the scenarios change. When I brought that to school I was a GOD. I wasn't even bullied that week.

That 2000s era of toys were really something else man.... Sending my respects to the manufacturers from that time for making my childhood a fond memory 😔
Me too, tried to tell some friends about this toy but I could never remember the name of it. When it showed up to me on RUclips it felt like a flashback of my childhood 🤣🤣🤣
saaaame, i used to have one until i forgot it at one of my dad's friends house to never see it again, it took me so long to find out the name and I'm so happy omg
This was such an innovative idea on the dollhouse concept, that my parents bought me one in leau of a real one for Christmas one year. Pixel kept me entertained for hours!

I remember my mom thought I was the most clever child ever and her happiness dramatically increased because it meant she didn’t need to spend more money to buy me the other dolls. 🤣
This actually is a great idea for a toy! Like a Polly Pocket that would actually move and you never had to fear about losing the tiny dolls because they were already incorporated on the house.

:( Who buys this literal crap? Back in my day, we got to build a star destroyer and destroy it with birds we had to preserve well otherwise we won’t be able to use it in a mobile game. There’s no toys like that anymore. -a zoomer
I never would have remembered that this shit even existed if it weren't for you, dude!!! I used to LOVE these, yet somehow totally forgot about it!!! So much nostalgia oh my gosh.
my friend had one and whenever i went to her house i would just play with it so much lol, i thought they were sooo cool!! i’d completely forgotten this though and when i saw the thumbnail of this video i was hit with the memories omg
I had the pink and blue houses. Never knew she was voiced by Tara Strong, that's so awesome. It makes me happier i had it back then lol im almost 24 now, i wouldnt mind buying another
I had totally forgotten about those things, and did not know Tara Strong voiced them to boot! Says it was released in 2005, by then I was a senior in high school to graduate that year. I'm 34 now... damn I'm old lol 😂!
If I ever write a childhood memoir, I want Tara Strong to be the one voicing it as an audiobook. She is THAT intertwined with so much of what I found joy in growing up
These were a lot cheaper in the UK for some reason. Some of the regular houses I got for like £6 on sale _at their peak popularity_ and it was so fun linking up like five of them and letting chaos ensue. The baby one was cute but kinda tough honestly. Almost like real babysitting. Man, with toys like this I had a great childhood. With these I felt like girls were finally getting some not too girly videogame toys and I loved it. I also had Funkees but they kinda sucked with only three of them. Oh! And they were way more shock resistant than my DS or whatever. I must have dropped them so many times and they still work to this day.
*”a b s o l u t e l y !”* As someone who had that specific toy, that goes right through me and despite her being my hero, I had no idea that was Tara’s voice.
@@Hoshimiya_Star Not completly. Minnie is removing his jacket, but he is still wearing pants. It's just a bit slighty suggestive but not down right nsfw
These toys always had this weird eerie energy to them. I think it was the tinny audio and the fact that you controlled where they went and what they did. This made me want to re-buy the ones i had as a kid tho lmao
Holy cow, I totally forgot these. Now I'm asking myself if I actually owned one of these or just wanted them so aggressively that I don't know anymore.
God I vividly remember begging my parents for something like this, getting bored of it because I didn't understand what I had to do and none of my friends had one, and waking up in the middle of the night with the chick saying "play with me" from inside my wardrobe. That was so scary.
These remind me of a Baltimore children's museum exhibit called miss perceptions mystery house and one part of it was a doll house that used lights and shadows to show a scene of a grandma getting kidnapped by mice. It scared me
It’s extremely nostalgic to see all these toys again, especially since I owned almost all of the ones in this video lol The pixel chix roomies one holds a special place in my heart- I as a kid never actually bought any other roomies though Turns out you could just shove toothpicks into the specific slots where the roomies would fit and the game would run just fine So good job younger me you saved your parents lots of money 👍 I kinda miss this brand ngl
I remember seeing commercials for these, and I actually really liked the concept. Never really saw the product in person, but it really doesn't look that bad for an LCD game. I kinda want to see this gimmick done again somehow, but I wonder if there is a market for it now.
Oh my goodness! How could I forget this! Since tomogachi and the gameboy was extremely popular and hard to get hands on, my parents bought me this for my birthday instead. I loved it so much! It was such a giant part of my childhood and I can’t believe this left my memory. Thank you so much for reminding me of this amazing console! I still have mine somewhere in my attic. Time for some digging! (:
I was thinking about this game the other day, but I couldn't remember the name. All I could remember was the chunky folding screen. These were so cool!
I had extremely vague memories of owning one of these when I was little, but I could never remember what the thing was called. Thanks for digging this up from the depths of my subconscious.
Lol for the longest time I literary thought I was the only one who had the Pixel Chix house sets. I both had the korean and the English version of them. I had so much fun with it when I was a kid ^^
I saw the thumbnail and I almost yelled. I haven't remembered about these toys since I was a child, I was soo in love with tamagotchis back then, when I saw them combined with an actual real background I freaked out. Sadly I never got one xD But this was a wonderful little trip to my childhood for sure!
I had the yellow one and it was terrifying. It’d turn on in the middle of the night and I’d wake up when she’d start talking. That ish haunted my nightmares, I swear.
Thanks for the clarification, Billiam. When you first introduced the Secret Life of Pets one, my first thought was "is that related to the 1973 Fantastic Planet?" So, I'm glad you clarified that it was not.
I blame Pixel Chix on my anxiety about money. I like many other girls, begged my parents to buy me one when it came out. I got the Pink one and even opened it and played it on the car ride home. I proceeded to get bored of it that evening, but was still hyped to at least play it at school.. It didn't get popular at my school, and the other girls didn't include me if they did have one. Probably stopped playing after a week, and never touched it again(it still lurk in my home somewhere probs). After that I never asked for anything from my parents if it wasn't for birthday or christmas, since I now worried about whether I'd get bored of it obsessively. Fucked me up man lol
i had a similar experience where i immediately got bored/frustrated. i couldn't figure it out and barely touched it. i used to feel incredibly guilty about that lol.
Dude same, to this day I still have the habit of staring down my cart before check out, meander a bit then stare it down again then walking away... makes me feel bad sometimes but at least I've saved money 🤷🏻♀️
i miss when girls toys were like this and not stuff like twerking llamas (actual thing) and the uncomfortably large amount of girls toys focused around fecal matter. i don’t want that, i want a pixel friend, give me it.
Right? I miss those days, and just actual girl dolls made for girls, not these DISGUSTING pooping dolls and these WESTERNIZED big eyed Anime rip-off girl dolls EVERYWHERE these days. I'm just glad I'm an early 2000's girl who grew up with nice stuff like this, barbies, A few Baby Alives (the ones that didn't actually poop,), Glo Worms (I grew up with the Playskool 2005 one, not the original 80's one or the AWFUL CHEAP later 2011 to now model ones,) Care Bears, Furby's (NOT the new ones,) Doodle Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, you know, all that good stuff? Seriously, what happened to the good stuff like that and why aren't they even a thing anymore for the new generation kids? I don't like the toy market these days because of those poop crapola garbage stuff they keep coming out with these days and I feel sorry for the kids today who are growing up with that disgusting trash instead of that stuff I mentioned. It's disgusting and just sad what it's come to for the toy companies these days. They only do it for the money too sadly.
I never realised that the hotel was such a big deal as a kid! My sister and I were gifted a couple of these as shared gifts over the time of a Christmas or two, and we ADORED these. We actually argued over who’s turn it was to mess around with it! Sadly, I think a few of them are a little broken from so much use, but nothing unfixable if I really wanted to repair it!
the only thing i feel like is still popular when i was born in the 2000’s is like barbie and i guess polly pockets? i hate how they’re just making, *pooping unicorn* or those crappy new lps?? i miss the early 2000’s and early 2010’s.
Yeah kids toys nowadays just aren't as cool as they used to be. I don't think anything will ever top the awesome bat cave play set I had as a kid. The yellow and blue one with all the hidden features and an elevator.
@@Valentine-jo7ls Honestly, LOL surprise is a POC centric doll line and something my brown ass needed in to 00s. I'm 23 and can't believe how kids have it good now. Honestly it was either blonde or rare black barbie and nothing else when I grew up. I think as a kid I hated dolls because none of them looked like me and my well meaning white grandma's black barbie wasn't touched to the point she exchanged it for a teddy bear which is why I love stuffed animals.
@@Valentine-jo7ls that's because they're from the makers of Bratz, who stood out back then too. They whipped the aesthetic back out in perfect time, toys are BOOOORING rn
So, I never owned one of these, but I always used to go on a Barbie website, and they would have other girly franchises to choose from and Pixel Chix was one of them. I actually used to play games on that website and watch the commercials they also had. Also, I never knew Tara Strong voiced that character!😱
I love how I had the pixel chix mall game for like 10 years and literally never figured out how to play it like id just sit there and mash buttons and be the happiest kid in the universe
I’ve only had the yellow babysitter house, and honestly TO THIS DAY, it still works like it’s new. and it’s been, probably 12 years. I now have it displayed on my shelf. I got new ones this past Christmas though, finally, my dream of owning more than one came true. I now have the fancy purple/yellow house, the pink aesthetic house, and the pretty blue house. All have different girls within them too. But for a long time, I’ve only had the babysitter house. and tbh, it’s probably the best one. It’s filled with so many games and activities, I played nonstop. And Fun Fact: I always thought the girl and the baby were sisters, and their mother was actually the lady paying the girl, and the dad was the plumber. Just one happy pixel family. Childhood imagination, am I right? I even nicknamed the two sisters too! Pixel was the baby’s name, and Chix was the older sister’s name. Btw, Black-haired girl (or Chix.) will always be the best girl, change my mind. Great video, btw. I’m so happy you were reviewing such a nostalgic toy. (Though you didn’t really review the babysitter house, Pixel Chix is still Pixel Chix no matter what.) thanks Billiam.
I had the babysitter one too!! I also had the blue house and salon as a child, and I really hope I never really gave them away because those would be nice to keep. I liked the babysitter one the best because I liked how you'd switch the rooms with the dial and there were so many more games and stuff to unlock in that one because we saw more of the rooms in the house and the background had a lot more detail.
I wanted this SO FREAKIN BAD as a kid but sadly we were too broke and by the time we could afford them they were off the shelf. My childhood dreams where crushed that Christmas lol
Now this unlocked some really vague memories. I think I remember toys like these being owned by someone in my preschool or kindergarten. The car and house seem familiar (I have a vague memory of a girl holding a car like a handheld console), that spitting animation too. Man I miss 2000s.
OMG I remember playing with those I had the tv, the mall an the car, I thought they were a fever dream cause non of my friends had them. My parents loved the catch frases, this video made me so happy, thank you!
"just like any standard roommate scenario, all of the pixel chix are eager and competitive when it comes to doing chores" This is the best joke you have said on this entire channel
I was the main target demographic for this type of toy when it came out, yet I have absolutely no recollection of this stuff. I don't even remember any of the commercials, which is strange because I watched a lot of cartoon channels during this time. I have no idea how I missed this craze, but I'm sure my parents' wallets are happy about that. Instead we rented video games from Blockbuster. Hell yeah! That "town house" looks pretty rad, tho! Thanks for the video! It was fun learning about something from my childhood I wasn't even aware of!
@@mimmikibilly Nah, I prefer watching others play games since I'm trash at completing them. I don't even know the DMC franchise all that well either, but I can definitely appreciate what I do know. Like face app Vergil here, he fills me with motivation.
Many years ago, my family & I were at my church's tag sale, & they had the 2 story apartment playset, & we got it without even knowing what it was, & we all thought it was the coolest thing. I *really* wish they made some for boys too. They coulda called 'em "Digital Dudes." 😁
I’d love to get my hands on this collection pronto! Love the analogue yet pixel-esque LCD concept of these toys. Genius, we need more toys like these now. 🖤 My closest experience to having similar game like this as a kid was taking care of virtual pet on tamagotchi and the classic Pokemon on gameboy - which often had their own niche community as compared to Pixel Chix.
I still have one of these at the back of my cupboard somewhere, I never even changed the batteries and it'll still turn on fifteen years later. It's incredibly annoying if I accidentally do that because there's no off button and you just have to wait it out whilst the pixel chick loudly makes demands
So many of those sound affects are sending me back to my childhood. I didn't remember until this video, but I had at least the baby one and the TV (can't remember if I had the OG). Honestly though, I found them really boring lmaooo. She didn't have any "needs" per say, so it just felt like randomly pressing buttons to see a set amount of reactions. It got old real fast. But in true kid fashion, it looked cool so I forced myself to play with it sometimes and then apparently asked for a second version (and possibly a third lmao)
I remember someone leaving a pixel chic (babysitter one?) at my farm when I was younger. Technically, it was mine since no one came back to claim it so... free toy?
I had one of these as a Kid and loved connecting them to the onces my friends had. It was so fun, sadly I have no idea where I put her. I also has a Pixel Chix dog house that is actually still sitting in my shelf! i loved these
When I was around 6 or 7, my dad's job went under. It was recession times. We moved provinces to live with his brother's family for 3 months while he dial-up-internet interviewed all over to find a job. I was the middle child of 3 kids at the time, and my older sister and I each had a pixel chix. This sticks in my mind so much not just because the toys captured my imagination so well, but because they were the ONLY toys that were unpacked. My younger brother had his gameboy and my cousins had their toys in the house, but there was no TV, board games, video games, books, or any of my familiar toys. Just Pixel Chix. I have no idea why we had them, because I don't remember us seeing any commercials or friends who had them. [I also don't remember them being a gift for Christmas or anything like that. I'm guessing my mom just thought they were neat.] Because of this they were untainted by any knowledge of them, we just went and played. I have ADHD (although I didn't know it until I was 18), and we weren't enrolled in school because we expected my dad to get a job faster, so Pixel Chix saved my sanity for those 3 months. I didn't have to space out at the wall anymore, I could space out while making her do a little dance instead. What a great set of toys.
Insane the amount of memories your triggering from my childhood. I remember spending hours with my sister playing with the town house and the pet. Man, I wonder if we still have them!?
I remember having the Pixel Pets toy. I was so sad when my hamster ran away. I also remember these Littlest Pet Shop toys that were sort of like Tamagotchi. You had a little plastic brush and food dish hanging of strings that you had to use to press the buttons to feed or clean your pet. I remember it being the device I carried around before I got my first DS.
i cannot thank you and youtube enough for this video, you made me remember a part of my 4-5 year old childhood i 100% forgot of this huge part of my childhood, thank you so much

At least you could pause tamagotchis to stop them from making any noises! Pixel was sooooo loud
@@ellienyah tamagotchis actually did have an option to silence the noise, you had to press two buttons at the same time if I remember correctly.

I say this after finding out one of the most viral toys right now is a dancing unicorn that sings and poops out slime. And also has many lines such as "I'm getting loopy off my poopy." Why.
I'd say apps largely replaced the need for digital toys like this.

@@brittanynguyen3794 for a zoomer that's a pretty boomer take there friend lol
Current digital toys may lacking in creativity hardware-wise but at least we have less e-waste.
I never would have remembered that this shit even existed if it weren't for you, dude!!! I used to LOVE these, yet somehow totally forgot about it!!! So much nostalgia oh my gosh.
Same!! I felt like some of my memories got unlocked with the thumbnail LOL
Same. I'm pretty sure that I used to own one of these and only remembered after seeing the thumbnail 😅
my friend had one and whenever i went to her house i would just play with it so much lol, i thought they were sooo cool!! i’d completely forgotten this though and when i saw the thumbnail of this video i was hit with the memories omg
@@kristinbornemeier2523 my sister had the pink house and I had the blue house and oh my god was it a good time
I don't think I ever heard of these but I totally get the appeal.
“Florida hurricane season but I need them for my toys” this aged amazingly well
I never told anybody, but this was one of the few girls toys i actually wanted as a boy lmao
As a boy, I would've probably ordered as well since the chick looks hot ngl.
I suppose it would be kinda like a virtual toy crush
@@ammagon4519 bruh
They're really fucking cool and seriously underrated.

I had a flashback as soon as I heard her say "Absolutely" with no emotion.

I had the pink and blue houses. Never knew she was voiced by Tara Strong, that's so awesome. It makes me happier i had it back then lol im almost 24 now, i wouldnt mind buying another
I had totally forgotten about those things, and did not know Tara Strong voiced them to boot! Says it was released in 2005, by then I was a senior in high school to graduate that year. I'm 34 now... damn I'm old lol 😂!
🎵she's just a 2D girl, living in a 3D wooooorld! She's just taking the midnight train going anywheeeere!🎵
Just a 2d boy! Born and raised in south Detriottttttttt!He took the midnight train going anywheeeerrrrrreeee!
If I ever write a childhood memoir, I want Tara Strong to be the one voicing it as an audiobook. She is THAT intertwined with so much of what I found joy in growing up
These were a lot cheaper in the UK for some reason. Some of the regular houses I got for like £6 on sale _at their peak popularity_ and it was so fun linking up like five of them and letting chaos ensue.
The baby one was cute but kinda tough honestly. Almost like real babysitting.
Man, with toys like this I had a great childhood. With these I felt like girls were finally getting some not too girly videogame toys and I loved it.
I also had Funkees but they kinda sucked with only three of them.
Oh! And they were way more shock resistant than my DS or whatever. I must have dropped them so many times and they still work to this day.
*”a b s o l u t e l y !”*
As someone who had that specific toy, that goes right through me and despite her being my hero, I had no idea that was Tara’s voice.
Imagine these still being sold, and people hacking and modding them.

I LOVED this toy as a kid- The miniature sets in the background always fascinated me! Thank you for reminding me about this gem of a toy!
Yessss, I loved these as a kid. I still have them actually, might sell them one day idk.
@@carrotlegs1752 i would pay a ridiculous amount of money for your pixel chix.
These toys always had this weird eerie energy to them. I think it was the tinny audio and the fact that you controlled where they went and what they did.
This made me want to re-buy the ones i had as a kid tho lmao
Holy cow, I totally forgot these. Now I'm asking myself if I actually owned one of these or just wanted them so aggressively that I don't know anymore.
Y-You just unlocked a bunch of hidden memories i thought would never come back
I never heard about this. Even tho it's a girl's toy...? It still pretty cool
Same here! This vid was just randomly in my recommendations and now a whole forgotten section of my childhood is uncovered.
God I vividly remember begging my parents for something like this, getting bored of it because I didn't understand what I had to do and none of my friends had one, and waking up in the middle of the night with the chick saying "play with me" from inside my wardrobe. That was so scary.
These remind me of a Baltimore children's museum exhibit called miss perceptions mystery house and one part of it was a doll house that used lights and shadows to show a scene of a grandma getting kidnapped by mice. It scared me
That sounds... very familiar to me. I might have been there as a kid.
@@savannahlevy97 it's been a looong while since I've been but it really stuck out to me as a kid
At Port Discovery! I think they closed it a few years ago, though I may be wrong.
@@trinityblake490 that's such a shame! I went back once in '09 to try to go through the drain but it was closed off
please elaborate
It’s extremely nostalgic to see all these toys again, especially since I owned almost all of the ones in this video lol
The pixel chix roomies one holds a special place in my heart- I as a kid never actually bought any other roomies though
Turns out you could just shove toothpicks into the specific slots where the roomies would fit and the game would run just fine
So good job younger me you saved your parents lots of money 👍
I kinda miss this brand ngl
I did that with the homies figures and it worked great!
I remember seeing commercials for these, and I actually really liked the concept. Never really saw the product in person, but it really doesn't look that bad for an LCD game.
I kinda want to see this gimmick done again somehow, but I wonder if there is a market for it now.
Oh my goodness! How could I forget this! Since tomogachi and the gameboy was extremely popular and hard to get hands on, my parents bought me this for my birthday instead. I loved it so much! It was such a giant part of my childhood and I can’t believe this left my memory.
Thank you so much for reminding me of this amazing console! I still have mine somewhere in my attic. Time for some digging! (:
I was thinking about this game the other day, but I couldn't remember the name. All I could remember was the chunky folding screen. These were so cool!
I had extremely vague memories of owning one of these when I was little, but I could never remember what the thing was called. Thanks for digging this up from the depths of my subconscious.
I still remember her, waking down the stairs at 4 am to yell at me "I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND WERE HAVE YOU BEEN".... such a toxic friendship
The fact she was voiced by Tara Strong, what a legend.
Lol for the longest time I literary thought I was the only one who had the Pixel Chix house sets. I both had the korean and the English version of them. I had so much fun with it when I was a kid ^^
I saw the thumbnail and I almost yelled. I haven't remembered about these toys since I was a child, I was soo in love with tamagotchis back then, when I saw them combined with an actual real background I freaked out. Sadly I never got one xD But this was a wonderful little trip to my childhood for sure!
I had the yellow one and it was terrifying. It’d turn on in the middle of the night and I’d wake up when she’d start talking. That ish haunted my nightmares, I swear.

There wasn’t anything else I wanted more than a pixel chix, I still search for it these days. And the pixel chix online games where soooo good
Yessss everythingirl.com!! I never had a pixel chix but played the games for ages
I have the pet shop one, if you can figure out how to make her come back it’s all yours lol
Thanks for the clarification, Billiam. When you first introduced the Secret Life of Pets one, my first thought was "is that related to the 1973 Fantastic Planet?" So, I'm glad you clarified that it was not.
BRO I forgot the name and just searched Human tamagotchi, didn't find anything, then thought it may have been a fever dream BUT HERE IT IS YES
I blame Pixel Chix on my anxiety about money. I like many other girls, begged my parents to buy me one when it came out. I got the Pink one and even opened it and played it on the car ride home. I proceeded to get bored of it that evening, but was still hyped to at least play it at school..
It didn't get popular at my school, and the other girls didn't include me if they did have one. Probably stopped playing after a week, and never touched it again(it still lurk in my home somewhere probs). After that I never asked for anything from my parents if it wasn't for birthday or christmas, since I now worried about whether I'd get bored of it obsessively. Fucked me up man lol
i had a similar experience where i immediately got bored/frustrated. i couldn't figure it out and barely touched it. i used to feel incredibly guilty about that lol.
Dude same, to this day I still have the habit of staring down my cart before check out, meander a bit then stare it down again then walking away... makes me feel bad sometimes but at least I've saved money 🤷🏻♀️
its a hard lesson to learn that youre gonna eventually get bored of every toy you get 😂
So you hate the video?
@@jonahabenhaim1223 nah billiam is great
Man Tara Strong has literally voiced everything in my childhood
She's a goddess. Tom Kenny is a god.
i miss when girls toys were like this and not stuff like twerking llamas (actual thing) and the uncomfortably large amount of girls toys focused around fecal matter. i don’t want that, i want a pixel friend, give me it.
To be honest, poopy toys for girls had been a staple since the 90s
Right? I miss those days, and just actual girl dolls made for girls, not these DISGUSTING pooping dolls and these WESTERNIZED big eyed Anime rip-off girl dolls EVERYWHERE these days. I'm just glad I'm an early 2000's girl who grew up with nice stuff like this, barbies, A few Baby Alives (the ones that didn't actually poop,), Glo Worms (I grew up with the Playskool 2005 one, not the original 80's one or the AWFUL CHEAP later 2011 to now model ones,) Care Bears, Furby's (NOT the new ones,) Doodle Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, you know, all that good stuff? Seriously, what happened to the good stuff like that and why aren't they even a thing anymore for the new generation kids? I don't like the toy market these days because of those poop crapola garbage stuff they keep coming out with these days and I feel sorry for the kids today who are growing up with that disgusting trash instead of that stuff I mentioned. It's disgusting and just sad what it's come to for the toy companies these days. They only do it for the money too sadly.
i love the twerking llama 😿
Couple days ago i saw an ad for a pooping flamingo toy... Idk what is up with all the love for poop toys nowadays but it is weird af
I've seen one of the twerking Luma toys
I never realised that the hotel was such a big deal as a kid! My sister and I were gifted a couple of these as shared gifts over the time of a Christmas or two, and we ADORED these. We actually argued over who’s turn it was to mess around with it!
Sadly, I think a few of them are a little broken from so much use, but nothing unfixable if I really wanted to repair it!
the only thing i feel like is still popular when i was born in the 2000’s is like barbie and i guess polly pockets? i hate how they’re just making, *pooping unicorn* or those crappy new lps?? i miss the early 2000’s and early 2010’s.
Yeah kids toys nowadays just aren't as cool as they used to be. I don't think anything will ever top the awesome bat cave play set I had as a kid. The yellow and blue one with all the hidden features and an elevator.
the only cool modern toys i’ve seen is the lol surprise dolls some of those have very unique designs i know i would have loved as a kid
@@Valentine-jo7ls Honestly, LOL surprise is a POC centric doll line and something my brown ass needed in to 00s. I'm 23 and can't believe how kids have it good now. Honestly it was either blonde or rare black barbie and nothing else when I grew up. I think as a kid I hated dolls because none of them looked like me and my well meaning white grandma's black barbie wasn't touched to the point she exchanged it for a teddy bear which is why I love stuffed animals.
@@Valentine-jo7ls that's because they're from the makers of Bratz, who stood out back then too. They whipped the aesthetic back out in perfect time, toys are BOOOORING rn
S L I M E T O Y S U G H
i forgot these existed but they were seriously my favorite thing this just gave me a massive throwback
Never heard of this you franchise before, but this was a genuinely cool idea.
"She's ordering a pizza! While at work!"
To be fair, me and my coworkers would always ordered food once Wendys shut up shop
I used to work at a Sonic and our managers would order pizza from Pizza Hut and get the employee discount LOL.
I got a pizza ad before the video began.
no-effort comment.
So, I never owned one of these, but I always used to go on a Barbie website, and they would have other girly franchises to choose from and Pixel Chix was one of them. I actually used to play games on that website and watch the commercials they also had. Also, I never knew Tara Strong voiced that character!😱
I love how I had the pixel chix mall game for like 10 years and literally never figured out how to play it like id just sit there and mash buttons and be the happiest kid in the universe
I’ve only had the yellow babysitter house, and honestly TO THIS DAY, it still works like it’s new. and it’s been, probably 12 years. I now have it
displayed on my shelf. I got new ones this past Christmas though, finally, my dream of owning more than one came true. I now have the fancy purple/yellow house, the pink aesthetic house, and the pretty blue house. All have different girls within them too. But for a long time, I’ve only had the babysitter house. and tbh, it’s probably the best one. It’s filled with so many games and activities, I played nonstop. And Fun Fact: I always thought the girl and the baby were sisters, and their mother was actually the lady paying the girl, and the dad was the plumber. Just one happy pixel family. Childhood imagination, am I right? I even nicknamed the two sisters too! Pixel was the baby’s name, and Chix was the older sister’s name. Btw, Black-haired girl (or Chix.) will always be the best girl, change my mind.
Great video, btw. I’m so happy you were reviewing such a nostalgic toy. (Though you didn’t really review the babysitter house, Pixel Chix is still Pixel Chix no matter what.) thanks Billiam.
I had the babysitter one too!! I also had the blue house and salon as a child, and I really hope I never really gave them away because those would be nice to keep. I liked the babysitter one the best because I liked how you'd switch the rooms with the dial and there were so many more games and stuff to unlock in that one because we saw more of the rooms in the house and the background had a lot more detail.
I have the yellow one still on my shelf as well and it also Still workss
I wanted this SO FREAKIN BAD as a kid but sadly we were too broke and by the time we could afford them they were off the shelf. My childhood dreams where crushed that Christmas lol
Thank you for not calling this vid "pixel chix was weird"
Now this unlocked some really vague memories.
I think I remember toys like these being owned by someone in my preschool or kindergarten. The car and house seem familiar (I have a vague memory of a girl holding a car like a handheld console), that spitting animation too. Man I miss 2000s.
OMG I remember playing with those I had the tv, the mall an the car, I thought they were a fever dream cause non of my friends had them. My parents loved the catch frases, this video made me so happy, thank you!
I hope that if he's actually getting rid of the Pixel Chix stuff he at least donates it.
He didn't really get rid of it. Trust me, I asked him on Twitch yesterday, and that was staged for the video.
@@benmalsky9834 Of course he didn't. He should resell them on eBay to help fund the next toy binge.
I know it was a joke, but... I'd totally take them.
Yes, donate it.
TO ME THAT IS!
Yeah back in like 2011 I got the blue one from a church rummage sale
"just like any standard roommate scenario, all of the pixel chix are eager and competitive when it comes to doing chores"
This is the best joke you have said on this entire channel
I was the main target demographic for this type of toy when it came out, yet I have absolutely no recollection of this stuff. I don't even remember any of the commercials, which is strange because I watched a lot of cartoon channels during this time. I have no idea how I missed this craze, but I'm sure my parents' wallets are happy about that. Instead we rented video games from Blockbuster. Hell yeah!
That "town house" looks pretty rad, tho!
Thanks for the video! It was fun learning about something from my childhood I wasn't even aware of!
Did you get tovplay Devil May Cry, by chance?
@@mimmikibilly
Nah, I prefer watching others play games since I'm trash at completing them. I don't even know the DMC franchise all that well either, but I can definitely appreciate what I do know. Like face app Vergil here, he fills me with motivation.
Many years ago, my family & I were at my church's tag sale, & they had the 2 story apartment playset, & we got it without even knowing what it was, & we all thought it was the coolest thing.
I *really* wish they made some for boys too. They coulda called 'em "Digital Dudes." 😁
I’d love to get my hands on this collection pronto! Love the analogue yet pixel-esque LCD concept of these toys. Genius, we need more toys like these now. 🖤 My closest experience to having similar game like this as a kid was taking care of virtual pet on tamagotchi and the classic Pokemon on gameboy - which often had their own niche community as compared to Pixel Chix.
I still have one of these at the back of my cupboard somewhere, I never even changed the batteries and it'll still turn on fifteen years later. It's incredibly annoying if I accidentally do that because there's no off button and you just have to wait it out whilst the pixel chick loudly makes demands
"Hi it's me your ISP let me sell your data"
GRABS HAMMER...
So many of those sound affects are sending me back to my childhood. I didn't remember until this video, but I had at least the baby one and the TV (can't remember if I had the OG). Honestly though, I found them really boring lmaooo. She didn't have any "needs" per say, so it just felt like randomly pressing buttons to see a set amount of reactions. It got old real fast. But in true kid fashion, it looked cool so I forced myself to play with it sometimes and then apparently asked for a second version (and possibly a third lmao)
Oh my god THIS IS THE TOY I HAD TROUBLE REMEMBERING!! YOU LEGIT SOLEDAD A 6 YEAR MYSTERY
omg I still playing with the double floored house I’m so happy someone understands how precious these are❤️❤️
Why is this kinda sick though...
I remember I was six and I stole one of these from my cousin because I was in love with the girl inside
How did that end up?
The pixel chix baby playset
I remember someone leaving a pixel chic (babysitter one?) at my farm when I was younger. Technically, it was mine since no one came back to claim it so... free toy?
"enjoyed watching my tamagotchi die." Omg I started to choke
No way!!! I'm so glad this popped into my recommendations, I have the yellow house one that I used to play with this thing 24/7!!!
The thumbnail alone immediately and violently pulled memories from me I completely forgot existed, i was OBSESSED w pixel chicks as a kid!!!
BILLIAM: Politely giving me the wholesomely mild nostalgia I need for a decent week.
Pixel Chick: _It's Tamagotchi meets VTuber._
LMAO
4:04-4:16 How Boomers honestly think getting a job works in 2020.
Job, yes? Yes, job.
Pffft😂😂
I had one of these as a Kid and loved connecting them to the onces my friends had. It was so fun, sadly I have no idea where I put her. I also has a Pixel Chix dog house that is actually still sitting in my shelf! i loved these
THIS BROUGHT BACK ANCIENT FORGOTTEN MEMORIES
oh god the voice lines.... iconic...
I had no idea they connected to others!!! I always wondered what that weird thing on the side was for
When I was around 6 or 7, my dad's job went under. It was recession times. We moved provinces to live with his brother's family for 3 months while he dial-up-internet interviewed all over to find a job. I was the middle child of 3 kids at the time, and my older sister and I each had a pixel chix.
This sticks in my mind so much not just because the toys captured my imagination so well, but because they were the ONLY toys that were unpacked. My younger brother had his gameboy and my cousins had their toys in the house, but there was no TV, board games, video games, books, or any of my familiar toys. Just Pixel Chix. I have no idea why we had them, because I don't remember us seeing any commercials or friends who had them. [I also don't remember them being a gift for Christmas or anything like that. I'm guessing my mom just thought they were neat.] Because of this they were untainted by any knowledge of them, we just went and played.
I have ADHD (although I didn't know it until I was 18), and we weren't enrolled in school because we expected my dad to get a job faster, so Pixel Chix saved my sanity for those 3 months. I didn't have to space out at the wall anymore, I could space out while making her do a little dance instead. What a great set of toys.
Insane the amount of memories your triggering from my childhood. I remember spending hours with my sister playing with the town house and the pet. Man, I wonder if we still have them!?
Oh god I remember playing with one of these toys back in the day and it was a house.
Btw I love your videos. ❤️❤️❤️
I remember having the Pixel Pets toy. I was so sad when my hamster ran away.
I also remember these Littlest Pet Shop toys that were sort of like Tamagotchi. You had a little plastic brush and food dish hanging of strings that you had to use to press the buttons to feed or clean your pet. I remember it being the device I carried around before I got my first DS.
I just know that Pixel Chix is the reason im obsessed with miniatures and dioramas today. I NEED THEM AGAIN PLEASEEE
These were legit my childhood oh my god, these were SO fun to play with as a kid
I remember seeing the ads for these all the time on Disney xd. Bringing back some nostalgic memories.
"The rescue heroes tower"
You have awakened something in me once thought long forgotten
i cannot thank you and youtube enough for this video, you made me remember a part of my 4-5 year old childhood
i 100% forgot of this huge part of my childhood, thank you so much
Wow! Now I remember the transparent dot matrix toy that I found at the toy store. This was an ingenious and cool toy.
