.S (pronounced "dots", sometimes parsed as "Dot-S") was a toyline by TomyTec released from 2005 to 2008. Arguably a 'building toy', it consisted of coloured pins you could press into a board to create pixel art images, similiar to a Lite Brite or Perler.
(src: dots' official website) |
Starting in July 2006, a new subline was distributed exclusively through Taito's brand of amusement prize games [src], titled Catch The Dots (キャッチザドッツ), a play on Taito's "catch the heart" slogan. These small kits focused exclusively on Famicom games with at least two sets per game, each containing different pins intended to recreate specific sprites. Bomberman was the second-to-last release in the series (with the tangentially-related Lode Runner as the final release) [src]. |

There's a lot of Bomberman crap out there, and so much of it is totally ephemeral with little to no online record. Maybe someday we'll find out where these little guys belong!
[if you can identify any of these or offer any information - what toyline they're from, when they were made, who made them, what size they are - please share it!]
