'Green Tanuki Kyubu' which is a Rubik's cube made by 3D scanning 'Green Tanuki'

Since 2020 is the 40th anniversary of the release of ' Rubik's Cube ' in Japan and the release of Toyo Suisan's ' Green Tanuki Tensoba ', both parties collaborated on ' Green Tanuki Kyubu '. Will appear on Friday, December 25, 2020. I actually touched what kind of Rubik's cube 'Green Tanuki Tensoba' became.

On the surface, it was written that 'target age 6 years old and over' and '6 enthusiastic fights'.

Actually, when 'Green Tanuki Kyubu' and 'Green Tanuki Tensoba' are lined up, it looks like this. The 'Green Tanuki Kyubu' is slightly smaller, but the design and layout are very similar in detail.

It looks exactly like the side.

Inside the container was a 'one-sided strategy book' and a green Tanuki Kyubu body. The buckwheat noodles on the bottom are not real.

A one-sided strategy book like a bag of 'powdered soup'.

If you expand it, you can see that there is a guide to complete one side.

I took out the green Tanuki Kyubu body. The kakiage is divided into 9 parts along the cube, and the shape of the buckwheat is realistically reproduced.

Looking at the other side, it looks like this. Two of the cubes have logos on them, but everything else is soba. I don't really understand the difference in design from other cubes.

Let's break it apart and actually align it.

done. Unlike ordinary Rubik's cubes, the green Tanuki Cube only needs to have the side with the kakiage.

However, the correct position of each kakiage cube is decided, and the position and orientation must be perfectly aligned as shown in 'Fig. 1' of the one-sided strategy book.

If you look closely at the kakiage, you can see that the designs are slightly different one by one. It's easy to get one side together, but it's hard to get it exactly the same.

Please do not lose the attached one-sided strategy book as it contains tips for restoring it.

'Green Tanuki Kyubu' will be on sale at toy stores nationwide from December 25, 2020 (Friday).
