The Rubik's Cube Now Transforms Into a Robot, Thanks to Bandai Spirits
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
One of the greatest and long-lived toys is arguably the Rubik's Cube. From the standard six-sided 3x3x3 toy to wild variations like the color-changing models, people can't get enough of the cube. And now the iconic Rubik's Cube takes on a whole new life as a Chogokin transformable robot by Bandai Spirits.
The Tamashii Nations Store Tokyo branch has been teasing the new Chogokin Rubik's Cube by putting it on display — as a simple, solved cube — for two weeks. However, Bandai Spirits did not unveil the toy's secret robot mode until the store opened its Chogokin 50th Anniversary Exhibition on Friday.

The exhibition revealed the transformable Rubik's Cube would ship this October for 9,900 yen (about US$64, tax included). It's a bit on the pricey side, but the Chogokin brand is known for producing higher quality collectible toys.
