Looking forward to another day at the office? We thought not. That's why we've decided to brighten up your dreary corporate existence by introducing you to the Cubes. Despite sounding like a painfully trendy indie band, these suitably glum-looking poseable plastic figures are set to take workplaces across the globe by storm, as they capture the drudgery of corporate life in all its tedious splendor.

The Cubes Each set contains one office drone and all the necessary pieces to build a classic corporate cube: four walls, a desk, chair, filing cabinet, in/out box, phone and computer. Also included is a sticker sheet so you can customize your character's workspace with graphs, charts, computer screens and uplifting office posters. Best of all there's a job title sticker sheet that allows you to create a convoluted and utterly meaningless position for your employee. Just like real life!

The Cubes There are four individual figures to collect initially: Bob, Joe, Ted and Ann. But in order to create that genuine Initech vibe you'll need the Cubes Expansion Set, which contains an additional four pen-pushers.




The Cubes The moment you start arranging your character's workspace you're bound to start quoting Peter, Samir, Michael Bolton and Lumbergh, so remember to get all your TPS reports done by the end of the day. That’d be great.



The Cubes

Because each blocky little Cubes figure is poseable you'll have hours of fun arranging it in its claustrophobic corporate cell. And although the characters already have names we guarantee you'll be unable to resist renaming them after your own work colleagues.

The Cubes If all that doesn't stuff your envelope in terms of excitement, corporate life really isn't for you. Us? Well we think the Cubes are a craze waiting to go global - after all, it's hip to be square but it's even hipper to be Cubed!

Jim! Next time you want to arrive at my office in jeans, I suggest you... ... DON'T! Look at Ted, Fine young man, Out box full and neat. Go take your Laptop And Sit on the floor of his Cubicle Like the other new employees!
Clare, Darlington - Apr '07

My sister and I have recently brought Joe and Bob and we can't wait to get the other 2- ann and ted, and the expansion pack! I was on a different site about the cubes and I found out that there are many more offices available, but they are only sold in America!!! This is a great product and such fun to play with your younger siblings! I highly guarantee that you will love it!
Annabel, Oxfordshire - Dec '06

Great little distraction from the hard grind of work, escape reality and become the boss and punish them to no end to ease your own stress, Bob regulary spends the day stuffed in his cabinet.
Ben, Suffolk - Apr '06

We just got Bob today and he has been a bit lazy, I once looked at him and he was playing games on his computer, but then again he has been working all day. We might just give him the day off tomorrow.
From .S. And .B., UK - Mar '06

WOW! I never thought I would get anything "unique" to put on my desk. After getting this my boss is starting to wonder why less work is being done. He's yet to notice that in the office everyone has a cube on their desk.
Adam Curson, Leicester - May '05

This is more that a desk ornament. The daily goings on of Bob and his cubicle life ave become a popular office drama. The fun comes in creating new items to place in Bob's cube, (party hats, house plants, pilllows, etc.)
Brian, Cleveland, Ohio USA - Apr '05

I've only got one of the sets at the moment but just from the first set I can say that this is great! You can customize nearly everything! posters, computer screen, the job title, everything! And theres a website that has more posters and computer screens to Print! Thanks Firebox for providing such a great hobby!
Andrew McCombie, Warminster, Wiltshire - Feb '05

BWAH HA HA! Listen to me you little plastic wage slave, I want that report by first thing tomorrow morning! I don't care if you have to work all night - AGAIN! There's no contracts here and no unions! I'm the boss now, little man!!!
Scotty, London - Jan '05

Bob seems to be rather depressed after I'd finished his "office", and I think he’s secretly been on the phone to his union behind my back. Time for a promotion me thinks!!
Russ, UK - Jan '05

Cubuilicious :D me and joe have had much fun in the office; well he hasnt but i have. So far hes been locked in his own filing cabinet, fallen off his chair, had a nervous breakdown, and has decided to build a den using his supplies.
Benji, UK - Jan '05

This lip-bitingly complex puzzle is crafted from eight wooden pieces containing strategically placed magnets. Simply assemble the whole shebang into a cube and you’re a regular Einstein. Sound easy? Well it’s not, because some sections repel while others attract. Aargh!

Everybody needs good neighbors - and the pixelated characters that inhabit Cube World are exactly that. Because although these interactive matchstick men have their own unique interests, they play, party, dance and even fight with each other when connected.

Put your pen right where it hurts (no, not there) with this macabre little desktop companion who's been good enough to drill a hole in his rubbery chest for your pen-placing pleasure. Ouch!

They won't obliterate castle walls or settle sieges, but our desktop Trebuchets and Ballistas are more than capable of causing mayhem in the office. What's more, assembling your ultra realistic wooden thingy flinger is almost as satisfying as watching it sling its payload at the boss.

Defy the laws of physics as you waste your working day playing with this jaw-droppingly addictive desktop golf game. Thanks to a few well-placed magnets you'll soon be pulling off impossible chip shots and amazing holes-in-one. Work? What work?

Image of Cassette Tape DispenserCassette Tape Dispenser
Audio tape sucked but cassettes remain icons of retro design. So hats off to the creators of these C90 style dispensers because each hard rubber 'cassette' reels off transparent tape as opposed to a hissy top 40 countdown from 1987. Ideal for music loving office workers.

As if this rubbery guy wasn't in bad enough shape already, he's now agreed to let you put your mug on his splatted body in order to protect your table from stains. What a guy!
