Product Description
Finally, the drudgery of corporate life has been captured in a play set for adults! Bob spends eight hours a day, five days a week, at a tiny desk in a tiny cubicle in a giant room packed with countless similar cubicles in a giant building filled with countless similar rooms. Each set has one 2-3/4" (7 cm) poseable plastic figure and all the necessary plastic parts to build a classic corporate cube: four walls, desk, chair, file cabinet, in/out box, phone, and computer. Build one to look exactly like your current workspace or, better yet, construct a whole labyrinth of cubes to make your own miniature office where youâTMre the boss! Comes with a sticker sheet of decor for your cube, complete with graphs, charts, screens for the computer and pithy office posters. Also includes a job title sticker sheet so you can create a convoluted and meaningless position for your employee. Bob mimics complacency and mindless dull-witted obedience, but is in fact a ticking time bomb of repressed fury. Destructive potentiality: 83.9%. BobâTMs life is a grey and bloodless void. Bob is an absolute nihilist. At night he drinks excessively in order to sleep, and when he does sleep he dreams placidly of a KA-BAR, an AR-15, and 6.5 Grendel ammunition. Bob will never become a Corporate Zombie, and for this reason his shelf life is extremely limited. Bob realizes this, and often consoles himself with his apocalyptic dreams. When Bob isnâTMt dreaming of paramilitary mayhem, heâTMs daydreaming about Ann in lipstick-red lingerie.

This is exactly what I need, a reminder of exactly how crummy my work life is when I go home every night to relax from taking garbage from all my other lame work fellows.

PS. HR doesn't pick your friends, will someone please communicate this to all of these morons that come to work and go out to lunch together to hang out and be "pals".

I got this unit as a B-Day gift,

Pros: None really, let's get right to the Cons then.


Cons:

--This setup is flimsy and should have come with a base to secure all the parts down. I lost half the pieces after a light sneeze.

--The main character can't even sit on the chair and keeps falling off. I shouldn't need to break out the double-sided tape to get this to fit properly.

--The parts are not detailed enough, this looks like a 1970's toy set, very cheaply made and lacks any detail. This clearly just came off some Chinese assembly line. I have three-dollar action figures which look better than this setup.

I should have gotten the IT-setup Cube instead, that one appears to have more detail than this setup.

Perfect gift for my cube-farm ensconced wife, or that special someone who spends most of their life in a cubical.
