HOBBICO PUZZLES COMBINES SPECTACULAR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC^® IMAGES WITH PUZZLE-BUILDING FUN

Soon you can enjoy — in an exciting new way — the beautiful photography that has made National Geographic magazine a worldwide favorite for 120 years. Hobbico, manufacturer of Visual Echo^® lenticular and Revell^® Werx™ 3D puzzles, is introducing new flat puzzles for all ages that feature many favorite National Geographic images and subjects.

National Geographic is the world's largest non-profit scientific and educational organization. Every month, over 50 million readers enjoy its superbly illustrated publications: National Geographic Traveler, National Geographic Adventure, National Geographic Kids, National Geographic Little Kids — and, of course, the celebrated National Geographic World. Now you'll be able to enjoy the photography you admire from these magazines in puzzle form!

You'll find subjects with universal appeal — landscapes, horses, wolves — as well as many specifically designed to catch youngsters' eyes, such as bug faces, baby animals, and "silly pets". The entire family will enjoy putting them together. Hobbico's National Geographic puzzles will also be excellent classroom projects and a fun way to keep young or old entertained.

Puzzles will be offered in a variety of piece counts and difficulty levels, for adults (500+ pieces), children (100+ pieces), and even very young children (under 100 pieces). Keep some wall space open: The completed pictures are so striking, you'll want to frame and hang them for display.

Look forward to seeing National Geographic images captured next year in Hobbico Visual Echo and 3-dimensional Werx puzzles. The patented lenticular technology of Visual Echo puzzles layers up to 12 separate images to create an incredible illusion of depth. Werx puzzles assemble into 3-dimensional figures that stand over a foot tall. By bending their movable hinges, the puzzles can be repositioned to hold many different poses. These are, as Hobbico says, "puzzles you can play with".
