to the Minimates figures and looks like a Lego clone. It is "compatible with
other leading brick-style building toys." I googled this also with better
results:

Hi! I know of one other clone brand that no one has mentioned yet. It is called PixelBlocks. They are 1x1 translucent bricks that connect like LEGO bricks on the top and bottom but can also connect on the sides. They come in 20 different translucent (...)
