They are produced by Catalan company Magic Box Int., and PPI Worldwide Group. They are distributed by Panini in Brazil, and Plus Marketing in Europe and have entered NA during 2011. Crazy Bones was inspired by a children game played in Ancient Greece and Rome called 'Astragal' (Knucklebones), where children played a similar game using sheep's knucklebones. This ancient pastime is also known as Tabas. Games played are reminiscent of marbles and jacks. Crazy Bones is a modern version of this game, played with characters molded from plastic. There are hundreds of individual characters, each character having a unique face and name. Each series has a number of 'rare' pieces that are sought after by collectors and are sold on numerous websites for many times their original value.Crazy Bones was launched in the United States by Peter Gantner after witnessing the success of Barcelona-based GoGos in Spain, which had sold over 350 million packs from its inception in 1996 to 1997. Today, the Gogo's are the No. 1 selling toy and in the top 5 toy brands, following the popular Barbie doll.
