SHASHIBO Seasonal Halloween - Shape Shifting Box - Award-Winning, Patented Magnetic Puzzle Cube w/ 36 Rare Earth Magnets - Fidget Transforms Into Over 70 Shapes (Jack O'Lantern) - Limited Edition

I bought this for a grandchild for Christmas. She loves this kind of thing and I thought she would enjoy it. They are a little steep in price and I must say, I was a bit surprised when it arrived in a tiny little 2.5 x 2.5 inch box, (From the pics, I was expecting something about double that size). I wanted to be certain I was getting a decent quality item, so I removed it from the box and started messing around with it to check quality and entertainment value. Well, we are now 3 days closer to Christmas since it arrived and I am no closer to getting back into that 2.5 x 2.5 box it came in. It is ridiculous how many times I have tried to fold it back into a tiny little square! To be honest, I simply feel frustrated with the whole damn thing. I even had ideations of tearing it apart and gluing it back together. (Then I remembered what I paid and I thought better of it.) The quality certainly seems decent. I am basing that on the fact that it didn't come apart yet and I think I have folded it every which way to Sunday. On the upside, my granddaughter is probably going to love it! She is just 9 yrs old, but will probably get it back in the box in 5 minutes!! So, I guess what I am reluctantly saying, is that I think the entertainment value is there. I still have 20 days to get some help (probably from a kid!) with getting this back in the box it came in. Otherwise, I will find a new box to wrap it in and keep the old box - so I can show the granddaughter how it looked when I got it. It is a little embarrassing that I have found this to be so difficult. But, I am trying to be transparent here and forewarn you that UNLESS you have some help from a genius (ok maybe exaggerating there), DO NOT take it out of the box to try it out if it is a gift for someone else! If they weren't so darn expensive, I would have simply just ordered another one and kept this one for my dumb self. 😜EDIT: 01/24/23 - I did order a second one for myself (and company) Mind you, I did not even get it out until several days after Christmas. Today is the 24th of January and so we maybe had it opened 3 weeks. It has been played with quite a bit by kids and adults alike, however it is tearing apart at one of the seams. So, frankly we are a bit disappointed for spending $20 on something we thought we would enjoy a bit longer. After only 3 weeks, it is clear this one is not going to last much longer. I guess on the upside, $20 is really pretty cheap entertainment these days, when you consider the cost of going to a movie or bowling, eating out or any other activity. We probably did get at least $20 worth of entertainment, but still. 😢

The kids enjoyed the challenge of making different shapes. The colors are bright. No assembly. Fun exciting toy. Quality.

Came on time and was packaged very well. Item just as described and pictured. My son absolutely loves his. We plan on purchasing more soon. Fun for everyone. Easy to use, light weight. Doesn’t stick toughly together. Excellent quality. Color was bright and gorgeous. We love that it is magnetic.

This item was smaller than expected. Our grandson has trouble with staying with one thing for any period of time and this was great for slowing him down and helping him focus.

It's not just fun to play with as a fidget, but the designs are really neat. There are three different designs or patterns in each cube. I did not have a lot of success piling one on top of the other. But one of them is fun and enough. It is not exactly what I would call sturdy. It has paper on the outside that you have to be careful not to mess up the finish on these. Also, it does not pull apart like you would expect it to. It pulls apart in triangles and is very unusual. I would not recommend it for kids, I would say it would be made for adults. However if you cannot solve the problem of putting it back together, a kid can do it in a second. But I would say the age range for someone owning it would probably be at least eight.

I have to start off by saying I am a huge Puzzle Lover and a (Rubik’s) Cuber. From riddles, illusions and physical puzzles, I am addicted to all things puzzles.I have a ton of physical puzzles like Puzzling Obscurities and Rubik’s Cubes. This puzzle serves as a very easy and laid back coffee table like puzzle. Very easy to solve and make shapes, magnetics are so tactile and pleasing to the touch, and makes for a very passive puzzle experience. The cube is plastic shapes held together with decorative strong stickers. The magnets are there to hold shapes and combine more than one cube together.The instructions says if it doesn’t feel right it isn’t right when shaping the Shashibo. Here the fact about the Shashibo’s different shapes, there is just very few and the rest in between are just floppy in between messes less satisfying or useable. I put it at a level 6/10 for difficulty.Shashibo has 4 separately decorated side that will always face a particular direction in different configurations. Basically, if the cube is red as the smallest cube configurations and also has yellow, blue and green; well, the cube will always be red in that configurations and cannot simply be twisted around and closed back up with a different color. The different configurations will always have the same decorative sides in their exact same place.So buying one is a waste of money. $25 and can form the same 4 basic major shapes (the other shapes are rather useless and unsatisfying). Buy 2, 3 or 4+ and that’s where this product shines. 2 Shashibos have a couple of combinations that are rather satisfying, 3 and you can cleverly hide a cube within the others in a couple of shapes, 4+ and now we are taking. The 4 cube set seem to be the sweet spot in your purchase. The most satisfying use of this product for your money and you save just a little bit from individual purchases. If you buy 1 it is a dull and short experience with Shashibo. You need more or you’re going to immediately want more. Save you money and go straight for 4. 1 Shashibo has a bigger diminishing return than just buying 4. Combining these cubes is where all the magic is at for this product.A standard sized Rubik’s Cube will fit inside 1 Shashibo cube for those who are curious.In the end, it is a fun and relaxing product that I would say has a coffee table fidget charm to it. I definitely say go straight to more than one for your first buy, and in my opinion 4 cubes is the sweet spot to get the most out of this product.

Son enjoys this style of puzzle.Love the pattern and colors

This looked really cool and it was fun for a few minutes, but now it just sits on the shelf, it’s not a full puzzle or game. It’s a good fidget, It can be hard to put it back in the square shape. It’s easy to move and it feels nice in the hand. I do worry it will break over time. It gets boring fast, I would buy other puzzles before this. I do want to try connecting a second one to it though.

Regalo nietos

I am new to fidgets and saw a YouTube video of a woman showing this Shashibo cube. I knew I had to have it. I searched on Amazon and this was the only product that was great. However, it is kind of expensive $35 and I got 2 but well worth the money (the vid also said the same thing). I got (red) optical illusion and the blue planet on June 14, 2021, and received it on Jun. 26, 2021. I was freaking out and played with it immediately. I couldn't let it go. It's super satisfying fidgeting with it, the colors, clicking, and the different shapes it makes. I have been playing with the red one more than the blue as it was used to make a bigger structure but found out that you don't really play with them both at the same time. When you are done with 1 shape you just add the 2nd shape to it. I have been showing this fidget to everyone. My husband hates fidgets and things that constantly make clicking noises. One time I went to church with my husband, on our way back home, we had an argument and instead of me being irrational & freaking out and yelling, I took out my fidget and started fidgeting, after he was done talking there was silence (I am still fidgeting at this point to the end of convo), I then replied in a calm, respectful, polite manner (which btw never happens, until now) to him. He looked at my fidget and said hmm, there might be a positive to this fidget. I am super happy, satisfied, and content. Fidgets are great for children/teens/ppl with anxiety and ADD/ADDHD/ADHD, stress and honestly, everyone can benefit from it with or without a disability. I just got 1 for my step-daughter and will in the future buy one for my 3 grandkids (1 coming) However, I have an OCD component to my ADD and do try my best to not buy all fidgets that I see. I do see a lot of vids with teens/children/adults having massive fidget collections, I would be careful to not go overboard with it. It is addicting for all ages. I didn't know this before till now but there is such a thing as name brand fidgets. I bought no-name ones from Amazon (China), and they don't work properly and can break. When you buy the name brand it works correctly, is more expensive, and is quality-made. There are pros and cons to all fidgets but if your child/teen needs to, they should. It helps to calm, comfort, get rid of stress and anxiety also get rid of all/most background noises/thoughts such as stimming for autism.

Produkten var som utlovad och vår älskade den,!

Ha sido un regalo para mi sobrina de 7 años y toda la familia ha intentado crear nuevas formas. Muy bonito y un juguete interesante tanto para adultos como para los más pequeños.

Gave this to our Grandson for his (10th) birthday and he immediately started playing with it. It’s challenging yet fun and think it will occupy him for many hours.
