Creating products that capture the imagination.
David Galoob is the former Chairman, President & CEO of Lewis Galoob Toys and today a co-founder of KINETIC, an Arizona-based product development venture bringing new consumer products from concept to market.
The Galoob Years
David took leadership of the family toy business as a young man and helped build Galoob into a major publicly traded international toy company. The company developed and marketed products across vehicles, dolls, electronics and licensed entertainment, with Micro Machines becoming one of its defining successes. Galoob was later acquired by Hasbro in 1998.
The Five-Vehicle Pack
The five-vehicle package was the core Micro Machines format and became one of Galoob's most recognizable products.
A Broad Portfolio of Product Innovation
Selected products illustrate the breadth of the Galoob business across character toys, dolls, electronics, action products and licensed entertainment.
The company changed. The work never stopped.
The same disciplines that built successful products at Galoob—finding a compelling idea, making it manufacturable, understanding the consumer, and creating a path to retail—remain at the center of David's work today.
KINETIC
KINETIC brings together American product and retail experience with hands-on engineering and development in Korea. The partnership is focused on creating differentiated products, proving them through working prototypes, and building a practical path from invention to manufacturing and market.
David Galoob
Co-Founder — Product, Marketing & Commercialization
Product strategy, retail, licensing, manufacturing relationships and commercialization in the United States and international markets.
Donald Dixon
Co-Founder — Engineering & Development
Invention, engineering, prototyping and product development in Korea.
One partnership. Two ends of the business.
Products can be engineered and developed close to Asian manufacturing while commercialization is guided by decades of experience working with major U.S. retailers and consumer-product companies.
Current focus: turning promising inventions into demonstrable, manufacturable products with clear commercial potential.
Robo Goalie
Robo Goalie is a robotic soccer goalkeeper designed for children. A camera tracks the ball, the goalkeeper moves to block shots, and the system is designed to create an engaging training experience that can grow with the player's skill.
The product has been developed in Korea, a working looks-like/works-like prototype has been demonstrated, and the technology is patent pending. KINETIC's next objective is production-ready sales samples for retailer, distributor and strategic-partner presentations.
Watch Robo Goalie in ActionRobo Goalie represents the KINETIC model: identify a clear consumer need, build and demonstrate the product, refine it for manufacturing, and create a route to market.
Experience applied to the next idea.
Beyond Robo Goalie, David and his partners continue to develop concepts across toys, youth sports, collectibles and consumer products. Confidential projects are intentionally not displayed publicly.
