Cubebot® is a wooden toy robot inspired by Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles. Made from wood and elastic, Cubebot can be positioned to hold dozens of poses. When it's time to rest, Cubebot folds back into a perfect cube. A classic toy for all ages that will endure generations of play....
Part wood, part string, and entirely awesome, these adorable little guys are the most flexible robots on the block. Each Cubebot begins its life as a perfect cube, but can be unfolded into virtually limitless configurations. Every component (head, torso, arms, hands, etc.) is connected to the adjoining limb by elastic string and there are grooves cut into the wood around the string. To reposition any part of the Cubebot, just take the piece you want to move and loop it around a nearby notch until it's in place. In this manner, you can put the Cubebot into just about any pose imaginable-running, waving, crab-walking, tangled up... And once you're all done, it's a puzzle in itself to twist and fold the Cubebot back into a cube. Durable, cute, fidget-friendly, and endlessly entertaining, Cubebots are perfect children's toys, dresser knickknacks, stocking stuffers, and desk toys!
Small Cubebots start as a 2.5" cube, but measure 6.75" tall by 9.25" wide when the bot is standing with arms outstretched. Micro Cubebots start as a 1.5" cube but measure 4.25" tall by 5.5" wide with arms outstretched. Cubebots of different colors will vary slightly in facial expressions.
