Take Pride in Building This Model of an American Eagle

Patented snap together construction lets you flap its wings.

VANCOUVER, Wa, November 1, 2001 - Polymorf, Inc. - Imagine building a model of an American eagle and have it come to life in your hands as you flap its wings in flight. That's what you can do with Polymorf, a new construction set toy that's making its product debut this Christmas season. "Besides providing constructive relief from the recent tragic events, I'm hoping that Sam, the eagle, will help kids take pride in building this model of one of America's greatest national symbols," says the inventor, Rick Engel.

     The eagle model, as well as models of the space shuttle, a swaggering parrot, and a four foot long slithering rattlesnake, can all be built with the Universal set which has 600 pieces.
Polymorf's versatility is due to its patented connection system which permits up to six freely hinging building panels to be joined together edge to edge at the same time compared to just two panels for its leading competitor. Up to thirty panels can be clustered together to radiate out from a common center point.

     "Polymorf is really four sets in one," claims Engel. "It has the versatility of a construction set, the realism of a model building kit, the challenge of a 3D puzzle, and the educational value of a math/science manipulative." To bolster his claim he points out that the unique design of Polymorf's geometric shaped panels lets the shape of the model be contoured to look life-like compared to the "blocky" or "stick figure" look of conventional construction sets. Also an infinite variety of models can be built not just the one the kit was designed for. And unlike pre-cut 3D jig saw puzzle pieces that can only be joined together one way to solve just one puzzle, with Polymorf the combinations are infinite for solving an infinite number of puzzles. Finally, as a cross-disciplinary math and science manipulative Polymorf models can demonstrate concepts in such diverse fields as geometry, crystallography, biology, engineering, architecture, and art.

     Polymorf building panels and connectors are made from durable, unbreakable plastic and come in six vibrant colors. All products come with a 30 day money back guarantee. Polymorf sets, which range in price from $20 to $80, can be ordered directly from the manufacturer at http://www.polymorf.net. This colorful web site is populated by models of flying eagles, charging dinosaurs, running dudes, spinning Ferris wheels, slithering snakes, leaping frogs, speeding dune buggies, and rocketing space shuttles to name a few. Free original animated clip art and cartoons featuring Polymorf characters are featured for viewing and downloading. A lesson on the geometry of the Platonic solids is also offered for personal or classroom use.
