Zoob Fireman
Client: Trendmasters
Tools: Maya, Photoshop
Purpose: toy design, package art, catalog image
Notes: Based on the original Zoob building system, a new line of Zoob toys was designed and manufactured by Trendmasters (TM) in 2001. However, TM made several critical mistakes: by making the pieces smaller, using a different plastic and recreating the molds from scratch, the toy was essentially ruined. The original toy was vastly superior, with the perfect scale, the perfect plastic (strong and flexible, with remarkable memory), and the perfect fit because the original designers had spent a LONG time ensuring that the pieces fit together PERFECTLY. Fortunately, Zoob is once again available in its original, perfect form from Infinitoy.
