The Cubes
You don't have to be crazy to work here...
Sorry, this product is not available.
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 posable plastic figures are set to take workplaces across the globe by storm, as they capture the drudgery of corporate life in all its tedious splendour.
Each set contains one office bod and all the necessary bits 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 customise your character's workspace with graphs, charts, computer screens and pithy 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!
There are four individual figures to collect initially: Bob, Joe, Ted and Ann. But in order to create that genuine Swindon-merging-with-Slough vibe you'll need the Cubes Expansion Set, which contains an additional four pen-pushers.
The moment you start arranging your character's workspace you're bound to start quoting Gareth, Finchy and the Brentmeister, so remember to create an atmosphere where you're a friend first, boss second and chilled-out entertainer third.
Because each blocky little Cubes figure is posable 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 work colleagues.
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 - 9th April 2007
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 - 18th December 2006
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 - 6th April 2006
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 - 4th March 2006
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 - 11th May 2005
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 - 25th April 2005
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 - 13th February 2005
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 - 31st January 2005
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 - 17th January 2005
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 - 13th January 2005
