Gogos are small figurines that became a popular fad during the 1990s and 2000s.
Gogos were inspired by a game played in Ancient Greece called astragals, where children played with sheep's knucklebones. This ancient pastime is also known as Tabas. Crazy Bones is a modern version of this game, played with characters moulded from plastic. There are hundreds of individual characters, each character had a unique face and name. The different shapes of the figures cause them to bounce in different patterns, making some crazy bones more advantageous to own.
Crazy Bones were banned in many schools, because of being the start of many playground arguments and being a distraction during class.
During the mid 1990s, Cola Cola of Mexico released a similar brand of toys named "Hielocos".
In early 2008, new Gogos Crazy Bones were launched in the UK. There are 80 different types of Gogos to collect as well as stickers. The rarest gogos are the "special surprise" versions, which are multi-coloured as opposed to the plainer, standard colour versions. Standard Gogos come in one of five different colours and there are five additional Gogos in the "special surprise" colours.
Rare Gogos
You can find out if your Gogo is rare by the inside appearance:
See-through = slightly rare
See-through with glitter = rare
See-through with glitter and bubbles inside = the rarest of them all
