Bandai Namco's Next Mecha Figure Is A Transforming Rubiks Cube
Solving a Rubik's Cube is boring. But transforming one into a cute little robot? Now that's fun!
The Rubik's Cube toy is a classic, but if it does have one major design flaw, it's that you can't transform it into a giant robot. Fortunately, this upcoming official Rubik's Cube robot collectible from Bandai Namco addresses that glaring issue as you'll be able to unleash the machine lying within this unassuming multicolor cube. It'll probably be much easier than figuring out how to solve a Rubik's Cube as well. It won't be out for quite a while--it launches January 30, 2025--but you can secure a preorder at Amazon and get the cute robot in disguise for $90.

The figure will be a new addition to Bandai Namco's Soul of Chogokin and Tamashii Nations lines. Soul of Chogokin figures are almost exclusively famous anime, manga, and tokusatsu robots from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. The line aims to be a high-end reproduction of nostalgic mecha and robot designs like Voltron, Mecha Godzilla, Mazinger Z, and more. You can check out many of the other figures in the Soul of Chogokin collection at Amazon. For this transforming Rubik's Cube robot, you can expect high-quality parts, vibrant colors, and a display stand to pose the little fella on.
If you'd prefer a regular Rubik's Cube, these are readily available. An officially licensed Rubik's Cube with its signature 3 x 3 designs is $10 at Amazon, and if you'd like some tips on solving one, you can pick up a Rubik's Cube guide for just $8.
Or if you want to solve one of these puzzles in mere seconds, Rust-Oleum spray paint is easy to come by. There's nothing in the Rubik's rulebook that says you can't solve one with a little bit of lateral thinking.
