Over the years, Jakks Pacific’ World of Nintendo 4″ action figure line-up has proven popular and besides making just Mario-universe characters, the Wave 3 series features fighter pilot Fox McCloud.

This is a super-duper geeky photo project by artist/designer Javier Laspiur. “Controllers” is a photo history of video game consoles through the eyes of the controllers or joysticks, if you prefer calling it that.
