''Puzz-3D'' is the brand name of three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles, manufactured by Hasbro and formerly by Wrebbit, Inc. Unlike traditional puzzles which are composed of series of flat pieces that when put together, create a single unified image, the ''Puzz-3D'' series of puzzles are composed on plastic foam, with part of an image graphed on a stiff paper facade glued to the underlying foam piece and cut to match the piece's dimensions. When the pieces are put together, they create a standing structure. ==History== Puzz 3D puzzles, invented by Paul Gallant, were first made in 1991 under the Quebec-based company Wrebbit. Throughout the 1990s, three-dimensional puzzles were made, leading to a rapid growth in the company. In 2005, Hasbro bought Wrebbit, and in 2006, moved the manufacture of Wrebbit's puzzles to its East Longmeadow, Massachusetts facility. The last series made under Hasbro was ''Towers Made to Scale''. The series consisted of 13 skyscrapers from around the world, including the Petronas Towers, the Sears Tower, and the Empire State Building, among others. All of the structures were made to be at 1:585 scale, and all of the towers glowed in the dark. By 2006, all of the Puzz 3D puzzles had been discontinued, but in 2011, the Puzz 3D line was revitalized by Winning Solutions, Inc. Winning Solutions first released the Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building, and released a model of Anif Palace in 2012. As of 2014, Hasbro has brought some of the old Puzz3D line back into production (made in China) in the same boxes. A separate company Wrebbit3D, making new products along with some of the old line, has been created by some of the old Wrebbit staff. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Puzz-3D」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
