KRE-O is a line of construction toys manufactured by South Korea-based Oxford and marketed by Hasbro. Kre-O was released in stores in Fall 2011.[1][2] The name Kre-O comes from the Latin word creo, which means "I create".
Kre-O toys feature highly articulated humanoid figures called "Kreons".[3] Kre-O blocks are compatible with Lego bricks and Lego minifigures, hence also compatible with Lego, Mega Bloks, Cobi (building blocks),[1] and other building block brands.
