This one is a winner. (Sometimes, you just KNOW.)

ZOOB is a building set with a difference. The pieces move after being put together. So kids can play with their ZOOB creations, instead of just looking at them.

ZOOB is an open-ended play system that is quick to learn and easy to use. Five different ZOOB units connect more than 20 different ways to form joints that rotate, limbs that extend and axles that spin. Based on the way things connect, move and transform in NATURE, ZOOB captures dynamic movement, unlike traditional "stacking" or "hub & spoke" construction sets. Its ball & socket units easily snap, click, slide, and pop together to form creations that go far beyond stationary models; and like crayons or clay, ZOOB allows kids (and adults) to learn, explore and create using their IMAGINATIONS. If you can imagine it, ZOOB can animate it . . . from dinosaurs to DNA strands, from animals to aliens.

Q: When and how did ZOOB start?

In 1996, an inventor named Michael Grey developed the "ball & socket" connection system that became the basis for ZOOB toys. The name ZOOB is an acronym for Zoology, Ontology (the branch of metaphysics that deals with the nature of being), Ontogeny (the development of an individual organism, usually from a simple form to a more complex form), and Botany.

ZOOB toys were introduced to the marketplace by Michael Grey's company, "Primordial" in 1997. After its launch, ZOOB won many awards and received extensive press coverage throughout the US. But a few years later, and despite rapid growth, the company found itself in financial trouble and the brand disappeared. (Know that feeling.)

In June 2003, a new company founded by Greg McVey and Jeff Pinsker acquired the exclusive rights to ZOOB; and their "Infinitoy" officially re-launched a full line of ZOOB products in February 2004 at the New York International Toy Fair.

REMO made contact with Jeff in July 2004 (see his nice comment below); and, as a result, we are now selling ZOOB ... a nice box of 75: 26cm x 7cm x 26cm.

Ages 6 & up. (Not for kids under 3.)
