Two big, playful brands celebrated their 50th anniversary this year: Hello Kitty and Rubik’s Cube. The iconic cat (that’s actually a girl dressed as a cat) had a lot of celebrations and collaborations this year. The equally iconic colorful cube also released several products to commemorate a milestone year for them. And before the year ends, these two unveiled a collaboration that would please fans of either or both of them: a Hello Kitty Cuber.
Design: Spin Master
This official Rubik’s Cube is a fully solvable and limited edition cuber that adds a pretty cute twist to it. Instead of the normal colorful cubes it’s known for, you get a mostly white 3 x 3 cube (6 sides of 9 squares) that has minimalist illustrations of items like clouds, bows, and of course the facial features of Hello Kitty. You’re supposed to combine math, art, science, and a bit of kawaii to eventually solve it.
Just like with the Rubik’s Cube, you’ll get challenged (or frustrated, depending on how you look at it) until you are able to solve it and create the 6 faces of the Hello Kitty design it’s meant to show off. Once you finish it, you can attach this character head to a stand that is her body and put on the iconic red bow on her as well. You can display it with pride or also just challenge yourself to do it over and over again.
The Hello Kitty Rubik’s Cube is available at Barnes & Nobles stores for around $20. In case cute cats aren’t your thing, there are also several other Rubik’s Cube Cubers from Sanrio, Marvel, DC Comics, and other pop culture properties available.
