Memorable Quotes
"It’s actually all about creativity, it’s all about these monsters that can basically explode together and recombine and remix into brand new characters. LEGO’s all about being creative, but this is such a correlated experience, it’s all about rebuilding, it’s all about kids creating their own stuff whilst they’re playing."

- Andy Seenan

"“Well, what do you do with them?” And they said “Oh, you know, you take them and you break them apart and you mix them into other characters.” And then one of the other execs said “Well, Mixels! We should call them Mixels!” And that’s where the idea started."
