Triclops have carved out a niche generating innovative ideas at the front end of toys and games concept development. With over a decade of Triclops experience preceded by lengthy apprenticeships as Designers at Hasbro, Rob Ames and Luc Hudson founded the studio in 2007 and remain hands on at the helm.
A no-bullshit approach is at the core of what we do, coupled with a genuine passion for product and content in the worlds of toys, games, comics, movies and animation. We take inspiration from contemporary popular culture and upcoming trends as well as having broad knowledge of what has gone before.
We believe that foundational research should be given equal importance to the ideas which it inspires.
“Rob and Luc think differently, challenge the status quo and are never afraid to take risks... they are true innovators.”

Whether you have the nub of a concept, a new piece of technology which needs to be accomodated in a toy line or a broad concept which needs finessing we can help to bring it to life.
We work on licensed and non-licensed product, from preschool to kidult for boys and girls, exploring the potential of brands and often suggesting how to exploit the hooks of premises to create innovative, engaging characters, playsets and play features.
We are World Builders with a strong aptitude in Intellectual Property creation and development and we are not afraid of a blank canvas.
Triclops bring freshness to a diverse range of design challenges from the ground up.
Our client base includes major international companies but no job is too big or small for Triclops. We are just as happy working with a startup or individual as a multinational, our skillsets transcend their foundations in toys and games into wider entertainment applications and we have a wealth of experience creating content for childrens’ animated series on global TV networks.
Due to the confidential nature of our work at the front-end of development, we cannot share consultancy work samples online. If you would like to request a tailored portfolio showcasing some of our previous projects please get in touch.
* A google image search will mainly reference our exhibition artworks and Triclops’ releases from the designer toy world and is not a reflection of studio output.
The problem with being a think tank is that the ideas never stop flowing. Complimenting the contracted work for hire at the consultancy is an invention wing where we develop new products, collectibles and IP with a view to securing partnership deals with companies who manufacture and distribute.
These off-piste concepts are often inspired by our true passion for toys but are just as likely to crop up from a throwaway comment or an observation from everyday life.
“These guys are the pinnacle of great design in the toy space.”
