Rubik's Cube Phantom Heat-Activated Puzzle Cube & Brain Teaser Fidget Toy

I didn’t read the description carefully when I placed the order and incorrectly thought it would remain totally black as an impossible puzzle, essentially as a fidget toy. As I touched and rotated the sides, I noticed the color changes. Super cool! The fact that it shifts back to black after a couple of minutes is just awesome. Reality check: the cube is no more a challenge this way, because the colors remain vibrant if it remains in your hands. There’s no “rush” to solve it before the colors fade to black. Still it’s cool. The manufacturer has really improved this since I played with the original decades ago. The movements are smooth and I expect this to last a long time.

Grandson was thrilled to receive as one of his graduation gifts!

I almost returned this because it was not black. It was delivered on a hot day and I didn’t think about that. After a couple of hours of being in the house we opened it again and it was black. Don’t make the same mistake I did! It works fine.

I was expecting the colors to disappear almost immediately, which would make the cube more challenging. But in reality, the colors take some time to fade. By the time they start disappearing, you can already solve it like a regular cube. So for me, it didn’t feel as challenging as I thought it would be. It’s still fun to use and definitely a unique idea, but not very difficult if you already know how to solve a normal cube. That said, it looks really cool and feels like a good quality product. It can be a great gift for kids or even adults who enjoy puzzles, mainly for the fun and different experience rather than a tough challenge.

Excelente producto.

This was a surprising find for us. The cube is all black, but the colors light up as your fingers come into contact with it. It is a great gift for that hard-to-find person. :)

Hard to get something fun for my 35 year old son for Christmas. He is REALLY into Rubik's cubes so this was quite the surprise for him!

The idea is really cool and all to add a layer of difficulty to the classic rubik's cube. The only thing that bothers me is that it has to be pretty cold for the cube to go back to black, it pretty much has all the colors revealed at room temp, completely defeating the purpose of the challenge. I had to rub ice on it for it turn black. Unless you are playing with it in a area with freezing temps, you are practically playing with a normal Rubik's cube. The cube does perform well though, moves are pretty smooth and the colors are solid pieces and not stickers.

Bien

Bought as a gift for a big rubiks cube fan and he loved it. It was on the more expensive side but is good value for money for the unusual design, quality and sturdiness of the product. It is the standard easy to hold Rubik's cube size and the colour changing feature is really clever. An ideal fun gift for any Rubik's/logically minded person

Cubo particolarissimo. Risulta nero su tutte le facce ma manipolandolo il calore delle mani rivela i colori dei vari pezzi. Ovviamente come il calore affievolisce il nero copre nuovamente il pezzo. Ci sono però piccoli trucchi per mantenere il colore visibile. Mio figlio ad esempio sfrega velocemente le facce del cubo con il palmo della mano fino a renderle visibili. più si scaldano più mantengono il colore a vista. Robusto, maneggevole come un cubo normale, lo abbiamo da qualche mese e il colore nero non sbiadisce ne si stacca. Aggiungo con l'arrivo dell'estate un aggiornamento. Con l'aumentare della temperatura ambiente i colori del cubo risultano ormai sempre visibili. Per giocarci bisogna tenerlo in frigo o aspettare l'inverno....

Once again, typical of Rubik, perfect quality. Moves smooth!

Ich bin sehr enttäuscht, da ich noch die alte Version des Würfels erhalten habe. Mein Interesse war die neue Version, welche auch so angekündigt wurde und dem entsprechenden Preis von 19,99 € hatte. Sehr schade !!!
