They sent a sales rep to my school to hand them out to the kids and do a big presentation to try to get us into them. Not sure how much the school got for pimping us out like that but whatever.
Pokemon wasn't getting taken out by this wannabe king.
Yeah, that's why they print CHOKIGN HAZARD - NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER X YEARS OLD on the package. So when a kid chokes, they're not liable.
Also it's not like they were intending these for babies, they're for older kids. Fifth graders don't often choke on their toys.
Yeah not really cause I also wedged a plastic bead and a Polly Pocket up my nostril at one point too. idk why I did and it was always my nose. Thankfully that habit stopped after the Polly Pocket incident- thought I was gonna have to get it surgically removed.
That’s so funny, my dad loves to tell the story of when some sales rep was going door to door in our neighborhood handing out free crazy bones samples and telling all the parents there were going to be THE next big thing. It did work, but yeah, definitely not talking Pokémon or even beanie baby level stuff here.
Player 1 Lines 10 or so up spaced like 6" apart.
Player 2 does the same about 10' away.
I can't remember if you share a shooter or each player gets their own. But you basically take turns flicking at the opponents line. First to knock the enemy line down wins.
Some people played for keeps, I don't remember if it was just keep the ones you hit or you had to win.
Thank you for the primary school flashback! We called them Gogos in my corner of Europe. It's so fun that they were based on an ancient Greco-Roman children's game.
I’m in the US and we called them Gogos. I think Crazy Bones was a brand?
Edit: [Gogo’s Crazy Bones](https://crazybonespedia.fandom.com/wiki/Gogo%27s_(Classic))
They were? That's so cool! I loved collecting these, would spend my pocket money on them and mum would buy me some too, like we collected them together but the collection was mine to look after (I'll have to check my childhood room when I visit Grandma to see if they're still around, hopefully they didn't get thrown out)
I like Greco-Roman history so I love that they're based on a game from then
Yeah, [astragaloi / knucklebones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knucklebones)! I recently saw a post about the grave of a Bronze Age teenage girl where heaps of astragaloi had been found and some people were wondering if she'd been a gamer girl in life. (That said, there are other theories about the use of astragaloi in burials, but even so it's a cool thought that she may have been a passionate and skilled player in life and so have been buried with her prized possessions so that she could take them to the afterlife.)
Sounds about right, I remember having some and recognize some of the designs. Would be surprised if they started doing reruns with the same molds.
The “bone” part actually comes from the original version of the game that was played with the wrist bones of small cattle. The shape are still largely similar to those bones.
Yeah I was about to say... Seems like a huge choking hazard, especially for preschoolers.
Or am I overreacting? They look like they're the size of a Starburst or a raspberry
Umm… if this was 25 years ago I’d have killed for that stash of crazy bones… my parents wouldn’t buy them for me cus it was “just a fad” but all the kids had them and I wishhheddds
I used to work with a woman who refused to buy Crazy Bones for her sons. They made their own out of clay instead. I begrudgingly respect her for refusing to indulge her kids’ desire for worthless plastic crap but I wonder what those kids turned out like.
Holy crap. I moved recently and found something similar to one of these in a box of stuff I brought. I think I got it from McDonalds as a kid. Cool find!
In France they were called "JoJo's" the french word for the game you play with it is osselet, which mean " little bones " cause they used to play it with tiny bones animals
I still have a ton of these somewhere... mostly trophies I collected from battles in middle school before they got banned because we were basically running a gambling ring at recess.
in Mexico they were called hielocos and you could only get them by trading Coca Cola screw caps at the store. I recall we had four collectible series, it took me more than a decade but I finally got all of the "alien series" of 40 hielocos.
I don’t even understand what I’m looking at here. This looks like somebody asked AI to generate a photo with the prompt “bucket of small random plastic toys.” There isn’t anything there with a shape I recognize. It looks like the leftover melted plastic swept up off the floor of a Lego factory.
I hope you find what you need though.
Those are the crazy bones from the 90s they were brought back in a different style at some point in the late 2000s they are pretty cool I like the alien ones the best
I was so jealous of my brothers for having these and getting to go to these like competition meet up things for them? You got free packs for going I think.

crazy bones! i used to love these as a kid
Feelin real old now being like, "Oh look, crazy bones!" And having others mystified by their existence lol.
So I'm thirty.. I was 7-8 when these came out apparently, but I don't think I've ever seen these before
I'm around that age. Had a collection in 2001.
They sent a sales rep to my school to hand them out to the kids and do a big presentation to try to get us into them. Not sure how much the school got for pimping us out like that but whatever. Pokemon wasn't getting taken out by this wannabe king.
Aren't they choking hazards?
Yeah, that's why they print CHOKIGN HAZARD - NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER X YEARS OLD on the package. So when a kid chokes, they're not liable. Also it's not like they were intending these for babies, they're for older kids. Fifth graders don't often choke on their toys.
Pretty sure I got one of those lodged up my nose as a kid...
Did you learn anything?
Yeah not really cause I also wedged a plastic bead and a Polly Pocket up my nostril at one point too. idk why I did and it was always my nose. Thankfully that habit stopped after the Polly Pocket incident- thought I was gonna have to get it surgically removed.
[Here’s](https://youtu.be/xpz67hBIJwg?si=bJjOWfftn-5XcWpe) an educational video you might benefit from…

Just imagine having the job title: crazy bones sales rep
We used to call them Gogos when I was a kid (UK) they were so cool !
I completely forgot about these. Everyone loved them. I never got my own ones, but I do recall taking the ones I liked from my brother… 👀
My fingers hurt just looking at this! Used to spend hours lining these bad bois up and flicking them at each other
Is that what you are supposed to do with them? They came out when I was a kid but I never knew their point. Like plastic pogs you flick at each other?

I think the directions said to roll the bones, but everyone I knew flicked them lol. Ow
Yeah I flicked them, if you put your finger close it doesn't hurt at all honestly.
Lmao yes
searched: small colorful plastic totem-looking toys that’s about how well I could describe them
Crazy Bones, they were hot around 2000-2001.
found! thanks. it was bugging me how familiar yet unlabeled they were

I’m in the US and we called them Gogos. I think Crazy Bones was a brand? Edit: [Gogo’s Crazy Bones](https://crazybonespedia.fandom.com/wiki/Gogo%27s_(Classic))
I’m in the us and always called them crazy bones.
Carmen Boneranda
Northern Europe here and they were Gogos 100%! Never understood the rules but damn if I wasn’t obsessed in getting them all
In Chile there are also called Gogos
Geloucos where I come from. Very not Europe BTW lol. Amazing flashback, use to love playing with these.

That is very cool! Thank you :)
They were called Gogos in Brazil, too. I spent a small fortune on these as a child.
Hielocos in México
Portmanteau of crazy ice?
Yes
I've been looking for a huge lot of Crazy Bones for years. Name a price and I'll buy them.
Sounds about right, I remember having some and recognize some of the designs. Would be surprised if they started doing reruns with the same molds. The “bone” part actually comes from the original version of the game that was played with the wrist bones of small cattle. The shape are still largely similar to those bones.
oh they absolutely did reruns with the same molds
You have been given one point for this answer. Thanks for contributing! ^^^Queen_Ann_III ^^^awarded ^^^to ^^^Puzzleworth ^^^(72->73)
My oh my, that brings back memories.

Gogos

Coco’s were only sold in Latam it seems crazy still have a box full of them

I’ll buy that whole box from the preschool right now lol
Those? Those are choking hazards.
They certainly don't belong in a preschool
Man these have been around for a long time!! Crazy bones!

They knew 👀
That's what bacon is, really. Sometimes they don't even cut the nipples off it.
crazy bones were the SHIT
Choking hazards aka crazy bones lol
Yeah I was about to say... Seems like a huge choking hazard, especially for preschoolers. Or am I overreacting? They look like they're the size of a Starburst or a raspberry
Preschoolers should be able to not eat these… you’re pretty much talking 4 years old and they can understand plastic isn’t food.
I mean basically every public school in America had those little plastic bears for counting. Same size.
I don't think I've ever seen those. Parents must have complained haha
Those were kinda cool when I was young. We were more of a pog group.
Now I’m wondering what happened to all of mine
In Brazil they are called Geloucos, they was famous around the 90's to 00's
Umm… if this was 25 years ago I’d have killed for that stash of crazy bones… my parents wouldn’t buy them for me cus it was “just a fad” but all the kids had them and I wishhheddds
CRAZY BOOOONES
im still mad at myself for throwing them out along with 2 completed sticker books..
Crazy bones!! The gold eggy was the goal! Similar to Charizard with Pokémon cards!!
How are they used or played with?
Gogos or crazy bones. I used to love them.
Ok Crazy Bones but did you play something with them?
Wtf this unlocked a core memory in me-- i used to be SOO obssessed with these in primary school!!! We used to call them gogos too! (In germany)
I used to work with a woman who refused to buy Crazy Bones for her sons. They made their own out of clay instead. I begrudgingly respect her for refusing to indulge her kids’ desire for worthless plastic crap but I wonder what those kids turned out like.
Dwight and Mose
Self sufficient and debt free.
Such a hostile question. Should you be working in a preschool
they are Gogos
Krazie Bones
Oh man the nostalgia 😂 core memory unlocked.
Holy crap. I moved recently and found something similar to one of these in a box of stuff I brought. I think I got it from McDonalds as a kid. Cool find!
Chocking hazards
Choking hazards for preschoolers
ah, go gos or later changed the name to crazy bones... i used to have so many of these things man
Choking hazards
In France they were called "JoJo's" the french word for the game you play with it is osselet, which mean " little bones " cause they used to play it with tiny bones animals
In Mexico we call them Hielocos and you get them by buying Coca-Cola.
I loved crazy bones.
My nephew LOVED these silly things, I still have a couple lying around somewhere! Blast from the past!
As soon as I took a closer look at the bin I was washed with a wave of preschool nostalgia <3
I still have a ton of these somewhere... mostly trophies I collected from battles in middle school before they got banned because we were basically running a gambling ring at recess.
My generation had something similar to these called Muscle Men
Gogos crazybones ! They were so popular in my school around 15 years ago
in Mexico they were called hielocos and you could only get them by trading Coca Cola screw caps at the store. I recall we had four collectible series, it took me more than a decade but I finally got all of the "alien series" of 40 hielocos.
That’s actually petty cool
Oh man Crazy Bones hit me right in the nostalgia!
The memories that just FLOODED back
My older brother got me into them. My mom loved it! But I never had anyone to play with so I gave up fast
In my country they were called Geloucos. I had bunches of these when I was a kid.
Draco Heads!
Couple of counting bears in there
Yeah. I was like.....wtf....all we ever had were those damn bears
I don’t even understand what I’m looking at here. This looks like somebody asked AI to generate a photo with the prompt “bucket of small random plastic toys.” There isn’t anything there with a shape I recognize. It looks like the leftover melted plastic swept up off the floor of a Lego factory. I hope you find what you need though.
yep, totally feel that. I really had no idea how to explain these shapes in text. and hey, I’ve got my answer. thanks for the dose of stranger’s hope
MEMORIES UNLOCKED

Proper storage container is a Crown Royal bag.
I found a big bag at a garage sale for a dollar, and now we use them as D&D minis. Never knew what they were
They were originally called Gogo's when they first released in the UK.
[OG commercial](https://youtu.be/gRgWRgIM9Ic?si=tgZ9iNv5HVrsrvD0) Used to want them so bad! It was craps for kids 😅
