Zoomorphs Toys “Petmorphs Set” as created by Wayne Ferrebe
Zoomorphs Toys “Mythmorphs Set
From 2002 to 2012, I was a professional toymaker. Together my late business partner and I built a toy company which created creative character-driven building toys for children 4 and up. He was the business and logistics guy while I took care of the creative side of things (and raised capital). Our great masterpiece was “Zoomorphs” a pop-together building toy for all ages which I came up with when I was a temporary paralegal at a law firm.

The idea behind Zoomorphs was that you could pop together the plastic pieces to make a parrot, a dog, a fish, or a dinosaur...or you could put the pieces together in your own way and make a dinodog with parrot’s wings and a fishtail!

Here are a selection of the sets we sold (there were even more on the market in our heyday) as well as some package graphics and preliminary character sketches and what-have-you.
Runnermorphs
Dinomorphs
Nightmorphs
Also we crafted some other lines, like “Buildimals” which allowed children to play with a pack of circus dogs. The plastic dogs could form pyramids, bridges, and canine chains. It was like you were a master dog-trainer or the ringmaster of your own circus!

Alas, those days are gone for now, but I still make some art toy designs for fun...like the Marsyas toy theater or the Easy-bake flounder furnace.
