Bouncing

One thing I never got about this game is how you're supposed to play it regarding the 'bouncing'... hard pieces of plastic don't really bounce. Did they intend to make them out of rubber? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.208.51 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• I just tried playing the bouncing game, and they bounce, just not well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.241.244 (talk • contribs) 18:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

• • I remember you had more success if you bounced on carpet - I have tons of Crazy Bones and I've probably tried all the games at some point - I even used to have the black mountain thing that you would put all your crazy bones on.
    Also, yes Toy Crazy was the original distributor of these, but I don't think they have the rights any longer. I have many packs of Crazy Bones, and it says on the back: "Made in Spain: Ensobrados Martorell S.A. P.O. Box 2006 - 08080 Barcelona. Marketed by: Toy Craze, Inc. 26401 Fargo Rd. Cleveland, OH 44146." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:4:2200:237:1926:1A42:3E3C:A0ED (talk) 21:35, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Oh my god

I had loads of these, damn, one of the things I must have got rid of, damn, thats a shame... RetroToysRUs 06:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Is it true that the lower the number the rarer? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.23.183 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
  • As far as I know, there is no specific rarity assigned to any of the sets. The 'Most wanted' bones in series 1 are perceived to be rarer because there are [80 (types) x5 (colours) +5 (most wanted)] bones - this makes the ratio of any particular coloured (or most wanted) bone in that series 1:405 Greblord (talk) 15:27, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Removed list of all crazy bones

A complete list of every last crazy bone is not necessary in an encyclopedic article. I removed the list and added an external link to the crazy bones site which has this exact same info.

I wouldn't object to (but wouldn't support) having this list in a separate article, perhaps List of all Crazy Bones. But having it here is definitely overkill. -Frazzydee|✍ 17:39, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

List of gogos

I'm going to have a crack at tidying this page up ... can someone tell me which version of Crazy Bones this list of gogos is from, as it's not the new version (Explorer) ... otherwise it may well have to be removed. Cheers. --LookingYourBest (talk) 10:36, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

• OK, so I had a crack at updating the page and removed the list. I'm going to have a go at making a new page with a list of all Crazy Bones from the official websites! Wish me luck! --LookingYourBest (talk) 08:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

• So, I spent hours and hours on the page, only for it to be removed for no good reason! If anyone wants to see the list, or add to it, it's now on my user page! --LookingYourBest (talk) 14:26, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Reverting IToy edits

Hello all,

I've just reverted a large amount of edits that a new user, IToy, made to this article. It seems to me, looking at the username, that this is a bit of self-promotion and also noticed that user removed a couple of perfectly good references to boot. I'd appreciate it if we could discuss these changes before you add them again. Many Thanks. --LookingYourBest (talk) 14:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

• Why? Seemed perfectly NPOV to me, and the information they added was, in fact, correct, as you can see by my recent edits with references. The information in the article has been incorrect for quite some time because of this reversion, since iToys has in fact taken over distribution rights in the US & Canada, and IToy's changes were to this effect. -Frazzydee|✍ 04:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Disputed facts

The article had uncited information about Toy Craze distributing the product in the USA. As my corrections with references show, this has not been true for over a year now. Disputing this: "Later HotShots either lost or sold the Crazy Bone patent and now Toy Craze owns and licenses it, while Magic Box int. manufacturers it."

1. It's completely unclear as to the actual ownership situation.
2. Toy Craze has not released a press release for about a decade now, so I'm not sure what role, if any, they still play.

Citations MIA for distributors outside NA.

Will do further research in a couple weeks, but putting a {{disputed}} tag so nobody ends up relying on this information. The information in the article has been wrong for about a year, and I have doubts about the sentence mentioned.

As always, if someone else has more time on their hands and can do the research, please do so. -Frazzydee|✍ 04:45, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

• I haven't found any of this information on my trawls through the internet. I'd be interested to see sources. Greblord (talk) 14:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
  • I suggest we leave the {{disputed}} tag up until all facts have been verified. Crazy Bones was a popular fad and a huge marketing success. There are tons of articles about them, and we should be able to get references for everything. -Frazzydee|✍ 17:57, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Restored content

This is sad. A fair bit of content was removed back in 2008 by an anon (appears to be blanking). [1] I have restored this content. I believe I originally wrote it years ago, when referencing wasn't really considered as important. Will try to find appropriate refs in a few weeks. - Frazzydee|✍ 05:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Founders

Changed founder information (factual inaccuracy?). Article previously had Bill Flaherty as a founder, but the source I referenced indicates Flaherty was not one of the 3 founders. However, Flaherty was President of Toy Craze (happened later, perhaps?), and I will add this information in when I get appropriate source and timeline info. -Frazzydee|✍ 17:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

• This source has Flaherty as a founder. [2] Adding information back. -Frazzydee|✍ 17:59, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
  • I think I see a typo, "Gogos agreed to provide him with inventory for no of the money down in return for 50% of all profits.[8]" What is the word "no" supposed to be, in that sentence? Thanks. 99.9.112.31 (talk) 16:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)NotWillDecker

Dubious

Disputed fact: "Crazy Bones was first released by an American company HotShots."

As many of the references I added indicate, Crazy Bones was released in the US by the startup company Toy Craze. I {{cn}}'d this, but on first glance, this unreferenced statement seems to go against other references from various sources. Again, I request we leave the factual dispute tag until we have gone through every sentence in this article & verify facts. There appears to be a non-trivial amount of information that is either wrong, outdated, or unreferenced. Give me 3-4 weeks, unless someone else can get to it sooner. -Frazzydee|✍ 18:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Why Does Everyone Like Mosh?

Everybody likes Mosh because he is number 1 so, why do everybody like Mosh? if you can awnser it then go to my chat page :] it is great to know! --AlexanderPark1 (talk) 19:14, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Trash Pack

Could Trash Pack (small, rubber characters with which you play games) be considered a similar product? It's made by Moose Enterprises, and they seem to have been following in Magic Box's footsteps with their revival of the mighty beanz.--Gioku^talk_user 19:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

From a Collector's Standpoint

I'd like to thank those whose Herculean efforts have made this an accessible resource (despite the disputes).

The Grannelle collection has representations from every series officially released, and all promotional rarities (e.g. Toronto Blue Jays, Cap'n Crunch, Kellogg's, Coca-Cola, Caily Mirror, and Panasonic). The one exception is the Wrigley promotion mentioned in the article; I have been unable to verify the existence of this promotion. I call this issue into question because I am active in the Gogo's Crazy Bones Wiki project, which has for several years continued to document this massive subject.

I will be happy to respond to any dialogue in reference.
