If you have a kid between the ages of 6 and 12, chances are you know Dog Man. Dav Pilkey's beloved series has sold over 50 million copies, and for good reason — it's funny, heartfelt, and celebrates creativity in a way that resonates with kids everywhere.
Bringing these characters to Cubles was one of our most exciting projects. Here's the story.
Why Dog Man?
Dog Man is about a character who's part dog, part policeman, and 100% heart. The series celebrates creativity, kindness, and the idea that anyone can be a hero. Those values align perfectly with what we believe at Cubles — that building things with your hands is an act of creativity and confidence.
The Collection
Our Dog Man line includes some of the most beloved characters from the series:
- Dog Man — the hero himself, complete with his signature look
- Petey — the world's most evil cat (who's really not that evil)
- Bark Knight — Dog Man's masked alter ego
- Cat Kid — Petey's son and an artist at heart
- Big Jim — the gentle giant
- Sarah Hatoff — ace reporter
Each character is precision-cut to capture the personality and proportions that fans love, while still being buildable by a 6-year-old.
Perfect for Fans
We've seen kids at events recognize the characters from across the room. "THAT'S DOG MAN!" followed by a sprint to the table. There's something special about building a character you already love — it deepens the connection.
Our Dog Man packs and party packs are perfect for Dog Man-themed birthday parties, reading celebrations, and book club events.
A Note to Parents
Dav Pilkey's books encourage kids to create their own stories and characters. That's exactly the spirit we hope Cubles carries forward. When your child builds a Dog Man character, they're not just assembling a toy — they're participating in a creative tradition that started with a kid who loved to draw.
And that's pretty special.
