Gogo Crazy Bones Zone

The wide range of collectible figures, each one small enough to be balanced on a finger, are the latest craze and have become so popular that millions are sold weekly!

The toys, sold in 99p packets that contain three figures and stickers, are used to play simple games such as throwing the figures up in the air and counting how many land on their feet.

They were created by a Catalonian family and are based on the games children played with pieces of bone 2,000 years ago in Rome and Athens.

However, the real attraction is collecting and swapping them. There are 80 characters in five colours to collect - 400 ordinary Gogo’s in total. In addition there are five rare figures which are an incentive to keep on collecting.

Some schools have banned the toys because they have become such a distraction.

Gogo’s first appeared in Spain where they were a huge success in the mid-1990s, and there were small fads in the UK three and six years ago. In Spain they provoked debate as to whether they were good for children.

The creators, Magic Box Int, have now decided to reintroduce the product in Spain and Britain. Later this year it will launch its Evolution range which is made up of another 80 characters, and more merchandise is on the way to keep up with demand.

Ben Harper, UK and Ireland director of Magic Box, said that they were just about coping with demand. He’s thrilled some schools have resorted to banning the figures: “It tends to stir the children up even more.”
ds on them.

Shops are selling out fast, and the little toys have been banned in some schools!
