What Are Zoobles

I’ve talked about the genius of the guys at SpinMaster before. In case you are not aware SpinMaster is the innovative company behind the Liv Doll Collection. They are also the creators of Bakugan, TechDeck, Moonsand, and some other cool toys. Well they have a new market in site, it is the 4 and up market and it is possibly another toy for girls. Although with that young crowd it could just as well be a unisex toy.

Zoobles are like a cuter, battle free version of Bakugan. They are cute little creatures from the island of Zooble who have the ability to hide in a little ball, but they can also open up to reveal their real identity. I havn’t actually got my hands on a Zooble yet, because they seem to be out of stock. Although I am assuming they use the same magnetic technology that the Bakugan use. So if you are playing with your Zoobles in a Zooble playset and your roll the Zooble ball through a Zooble maze there should be a point when the Zooble rolls over a metal strip that will activate the magnet in the Zooble ball, which will cause the Zooble to magically open up and reveal all of it’s cuteness to you and the world.

It is rumoured that the Zooble may be the it toy this Christmas season, but it’s hard to say if that is true. Every toy maker is trying to have the it toy of the season and the fickle consumers are the ones who actually decide what is and isn’t a hit. In spite of attempts at market manipulation by toy manufacturers and marketers. Never the less the guys at SpinMaster have gotten it right with Bakugan and Liv Dolls, so there just may be a future for Zoobles too.

In case you don’t know the back story of Zoobles. They are cute little creatures from the isle of Zooble who have a mysterious way of hiding into balls and revealing themselves only when they feel like it. (Or roll over a magnetic strip). They are a fun toy to roll and play with and they also come with different playsets. They are also a collectible and I’m sure SpinMaster has other tricks up it’s sleeve. Chances are the Zoobles will also become a cartoon or some other media related product. What better way to get the word out about this creative new toy. When I find out more I’ll keep you updated on the Zoobles and their development and availability.
