Fanxin Dinosaur Cube Bundle 1

Fanxin Dinosaur Cube Bundle 1

Fanxin Dinosaur Cube Bundle 1 is a set of three dinosaur-shaped puzzles. Each one has a 2x2x3 cuboid mechanism inside, with a shell in the form of a dinosaur figure. The cubes are stickerless (colored plastic instead of stickers) and have no magnets. Fanxin also makes a second set with different dinosaurs, so Bundle 1 is only half of the full series.

How it works

You start with a dinosaur figure in your hand. After a few moves it no longer looks like an animal, because the pieces shift as you turn and the puzzle changes shape. Solving it means restoring both the colors and the whole dinosaur silhouette. The 2x2x3 mechanism is restricted: two layers turn in 90-degree steps, while the side faces turn only 180 degrees. Because of this, it solves differently from a regular 2x2 or 3x3 cube, even if you already know a 3x3 method.

This set is not designed for speedcubing. These puzzles are not made for high TPS or corner cutting; what matters here is the shape and the fun. They turn lightly and are quite challenging for their size, since recognizing the shape adds extra work while solving.

Who is the Fanxin dinosaur set for?

• As a gift for a child who loves dinosaurs and is starting to get into puzzles. Kids are more likely to pick up a figure than a regular cube.
• For shape mod collectors who collect shape-shifting puzzles and already have the basic cuboids.
• For cubers looking for a change from standard cubes, for example as a puzzle to solve at a relaxed pace, without a timer.

If you want the complete series, you can add the second set with the remaining species.
