COBI

Cobi is a toy brand known for its iconic chunky toys. The company was established in Poland in 1995 and began producing its signature plastic figurines and other related toys. The name "Cobi" is a derivative of the phrase "kolej bajzel" which translates to "mad puzzle" in Polish.

Initially, the toys were marketed as a more affordable and accessible alternative to popular brand-name toys. The Cobi line of products includes a range of figurines, playsets, and other recreational items designed to appeal to a younger demographic. Key features of Cobi figurines include chunky construction and a distinctive facial expression.

The Cobi range of toys encompasses several themes, including historical and fictional settings. Some figurines and playsets are designed to reflect historical events or figures, while others are based on popular fantasy or science fiction franchises. Toys are generally marketed towards younger children, but they have also garnered attention among adult collectors looking for nostalgic items or unique decorations.

Cobi has expanded its operations to include development and marketing of its own brand of trains, which serve as an integral component in several of its playsets. Suppliers partner with the company to acquire raw materials, which are then used to manufacture the toys. Given the regional nature of the business, packaging and available product may vary in different countries and languages. Cobi products are primarily marketed through retail channels and internet sales.

Cobi's designs draw inspiration from a range of sources, including history, folklore, and popular culture. They also incorporate educational elements, such as teaching maps, timelines, and other important dates and details. The products often come in sets, with these sets offering a chance to recreate significant historical events.
