Polo (sometimes referred to as “Incredimen”, "People", "Beatmakers", "Beatboxers"[1] and "Avatars"[2]) are primary aspects of Incredibox. In each version, seven of him, shirtless, appear onscreen, and the player drags the icons onto each of them to play sounds and make a composition. Polo is based upon Incredible Polo, who made all of the sounds for them, the original resembling him now, and the newer one resembling him when he was younger.
Appearance[]
Alpha and beyond[]
Polo is a white-skinned man with black hair reaching to his cheeks, uneven eyebrows, a long thin nose, and big lips. Idle Polos are shirtless; however, Incredibox For Schools gives them white tank tops.
The Original[]
In The Original, the design bears the same concept, except drastically different; he has an earring on his left ear, shorter hair, and slightly larger lips with a shine on the lower lip. In this version, unlike the versions to follow, idle Polos bear white t-shirts.
